What is a Volt Amp Meter?
A Volt-Amp Meter (VAM), often referred to as a Power Meter or VA Meter, is a measuring instrument used to monitor and display electrical parameters in an electrical circuit. It combines the measurement of both voltage (in volts) and current (in amperes) and provides information about power (in watts) and apparent power (in volt-amperes). Volt-amp meters are commonly used in electrical engineering and electronics to assess the electrical characteristics of a circuit or device. They are particularly useful for understanding power consumption and evaluating the efficiency of electrical systems.
