The product, in the report: Electricity meter used to monitor electricity consumed by a device that uses a nema-5 plug.
I was using a P3International P4400.01 to monitor the electricity consumption of an electric vehicle. After approximately 50 minutes of metering at roughly 1,350 watts (115V, 11.5amps) power was interrupted to the vehicle. I was not there at the time (time is based on the state of charge of the EV). Upon closer inspection the GFCI outlet had to be reset, and the power meter was melted and deformed at the power-out plug, with brown between the rectangular (non-ground) prongs. The power meter did not turn on when plugged into a working outlet, and a smell of electrical burning was present. This problem is well documented in the Electric Vehicle owner community (see http://priuschat.com/threads/which-kill-a-watt-are-you-guys-planning-on-using.104744/page-2 and others). I did not know this prior to using my meter.
