Pre-purchase questions

What happens if the rated power for the current sensor clamps is briefly exceeded? Will it damage anything, or will they just not work, or produce invalid results? I have 60A service, but it very rarely gets above 40A, and if/when it does, it's only briefly, and I don't care about tracking those numbers.

Does the Fluksometer v2 come with an Australia/New Zealand 240V adapter?

Is there normally much of a delay between the time I place an order, and when the units ship? Or do you carry them in stock?

Which carrier do you use for shipments to New Zealand?

@ACENZ My guess is that because the 50 amp clamps have 0 to 5v output proportional to current i would expect current in excess of 50 amps to peg the clamp at its highest output 5 volts. So your chart would have a 50 amp ceiling and peaks above that would be flattened to 50 amps. Someone else may have actually tried this and might be able to confirm if this is indeed what will occur.
As for the 240v adaptor. Yes, when i received my unit it came with a 240v adaptor but i ordered mine through the Aussie reseller, Rowetel.
Not sure if you will get a 240v adaptor if you order direct from Flukso.

Power supply comes with a 2 pin adaptor.
Most common supplies we all seem to have lying around with 1/8" plug 9 to 15v dc. 50mA will do.

500mA

I'd like to use Rowetel, but it doesn't look like they carry the Flukso v2b.

Surprisingly, I don't have any extra 240V wall warts laying around.

2-pin to Aus/NZ adapters are available; just adds to the cost and hassle.

All FLM webshop orders from AU/NZ now ship with a proper flat-bladed adapter.
