I'm building what I believe will be a super high efficiency electric furnace utilizing engineering technology overlooked by studio glass makers. But I need a method to prove my energy usage so I can present my findings. Besides thorough documentation of my charge and idle cycles, I need a meter that will work with a phase-angle SCR. I'm not familiar with any device that can monitor my usage through an SCR. With an inductive ammeter, one would need a constant graph since current draw flucuates wildly from moment to moment. Any usenet folks out there have any ideas?
