Guest guest Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 You cannot measure dirty electricity with those. A single and 3 axis meters are the same. They only measure magnetic AC fields. However, in order to do it right, with a single axis meter you have to measure the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis. Those values are to be raised to a higher power. Then added together, and from the sum, the root must be drawn. For doing that, you need a calculator. With a 3-axis Tesla or Gauss meter, you only have to point and read the result. (It has three measuring coils inside, and makes the calculations itsself.) Greetings, Claessens member Verband Baubiologie www.milieuziektes.nl www.milieuziektes.be www.hetbitje.nl checked by Norton Meter for dirty electric My husband wants to see measurements of dirty elect. Would I buy the single axis meter as Karl Riley wrote in Tacing Emf's in building wire? He says that 3 axis meters are better for fast survey readings, but aren't good at helping discover the source.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'm sorry, I have a lot of learning to do.  Calculating can be work. 3-axis Tesla or Gauss meter? Any model better than another? We're looking to stay under 500 range. Thanks, Kathy From: charles <charles@...>  Re: Meter for dirty electric  You cannot measure dirty electricity with those.
