I would like to charge an EV at 10, or even 15A through a GPO that has a power meter attached.

The meter states 5(45)A, and Rated Current (Ib ) 5 A Maximum Rated Current (Imax) 45 A

So, will a lengthy continuous draw of 10A be too much for the meter, or does the 45 A max mean that I could theoretically draw 45 A continuously without ill effects on the meter?enter image description here

  • \$\begingroup\$ Yes you can. Click on edit, go to where you want the picture to appear and click on the image symbol. From there you can import it. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ And there's a hyperlink button so you can add a link to the datasheet (not an ad page) for the meter. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ There was a very similar question or answer recently, and I think the 5(45)A was most likely for an external CT. Otherwise it might be that the meter can tolerate (and retain accuracy for) brief peak currents of 45A. \$\endgroup\$
