Plugable has recently launched its new USB-C voltage and amperage meter for high power devices offering the ability to monitor power and charging up to 240W. The third generation USBC-VAMETER3 USB-C adapter is now available to purchase priced at jest $29.95 or £35.95 and provides a compact display showing Voltage, Current, Wattage and Current Flow Direction.
Connect the adapter inline between a USB-C host system like a laptop, tablet, or cell phone and a charger to use it as a USB voltage meter or power consumption meter. All readings are displayed on the brighter and easier to read OLED screen and Plugable have even included a new orientation button allowing you to flip the screen with a click depending on your cable connection.
USB-C power charge monitor
– Supports 4.5-50V, 50mA-6.5A operating range
– Support USB-PD R3.1 Extended Power Range (101W-240W)
– Supports all USB data (1.1 through 3.1 Gen 2)
“For a multimeter, the Plugable USB-C Amperage and Voltage Tester (USBC-VAMETER3) manages to fit a lot of useful features into a sturdy little package. About the size of a USB flash drive, this bidirectional USB tester allows for full USB data passthrough while it monitors USB-C power and charging, measures voltage and amperage, even visualizes the directional flow of electrical current–all in real time.”
“This meter is a transparent interposer–it should not interfere with the USB data (1.1 through 3.1 Gen 2), USB-C Alternate Mode video, or USB-C charging. The meter can be used in-line with USB-C docking stations, chargers, and other USB-C accessories. The meter is able to achieve this without interfering with normal USB-C operation as it only taps into the power (VBUS) and ground connections to measure values and leaves the data lines untouched.”
Features of the USBC-VAMETER3
– At a Glance – USB C Tester monitors USB-C power and charging up to 240W. Measure voltage and amperage. Visualize the directional flow of electrical current. Updated OLED display is brighter and easier to read. New orientation button lets you flip the screen 180 degrees
– Bidirectional – USB power meter can be connected in either orientation, allowing for the full range of USB Extended Power Range (EPR) voltage from 5 to 48V (4.5V-50V, 50mA-6.5A operating range)
