[TCML] power meter goes crazy

[David Nelson]

Thanks for your responses. The digital meter is not 'Kill a Watt' brand but 
probably very similar. I can use it on everyday appliances without a 
problem. Interestingly I have discovered that my computer uses 7 watts when 
switched off . Computer screen switched off (not just standby) also uses 7 
watts. Etc. Hmm. It all adds up.

I will install a PFC cap eventually, and keep my eyes out for analogue 
(power/volt/amp) meters over here.
