Tools and Hardware Reviews of Reliance Controls THP103 AmWatt Generator Appliance Wattage/Amps Load Tester

Customer Review: Not recommended.
Summary: 2 Stars

I have two problems with this tool:

1. When I have the selector on "Amps" the last digit is supposed to be a decimal. So where is the dot then?! E.g. the display shows 37 instead of 3.7 (you wouldn't want to have 37A running through your circuits at home, trust me). Perhaps I just have a bad one, but I doubt it because LCD segments don't normally burn like LED segments.

2. The display is updated too often jumping from one value to the other all the time. It's really annoying. The refresh rate should be longer, e.g. every 2-4 seconds. This is a design flaw done by people who probably did not understand well what AC is.

I was going to buy a Reliance transfer switch for my generator but in view of the poor quality of their tools I'll buy another brand.
