Kill-A-Watt - don't leave plugged in with the rig constantly I guess, huh?

I left mine plugged in so that I knew what to pay the person who I was using the electricity of and it, uh… caught fire. I think the rig is alright. Will do more testing this evening if I have access.

[/quote]This one was a 15amp, model p4400. Thought it’d be good enough.I think it killed the outlet, too, which sucks because it shared a 4 outlet wall with a couple of fridges but the fridges seem to still be working fine.
Since it’s not my building, naturally, I just had it unplugged until I could reorganize with the person who runs it.
