Load Monitoring and Load Monitors Confusions
The other day after I made a couple of Skype calls that led to a very bad garbling of my voicel I thought that I had overloaded the circuits somehow. I got that to go away by disconnecting an old web cam that I had not used with W10.
Background
I have now for my main leg:
Powered USB Hub 3.0, Atolla 7-Port USB Data Hub Splitter with One Smart Charging Port and Individual On/Off Switches and 5V/4A Power Adapter USB Extension for MacBook, Mac Pro/Mini and More.
I plan to add for a second leg:
Powered USB Hub 3.0, atolla USB Hub with 4 USB 3.0 Data Ports and 1 USB Smart Charging Port, USB Splitter with Individual Power Switches and 5V/3A Power Adapter
Atolla mentions elsewhere:
For a stable connection, the devices connected to this USB 3.0 Hub with power adapter must not exceed a combined current of 4A
Problem
So I wondered how does one assess the total amperage across all the connected devices? This thought led me to take a first look at at Load Monitors.
Immediate Quandary
I am lost in the Load Monitors jargon and prices.
Do these devices have the capability for measuring total USB loads on my computer? Check them individually (then add them all up for at total load?
What might be the key specifications for my my application?
Should I look elsewhere?
Any thoughts regarding the topic of Load Monitor and system amperage?
FYI, one example device:
USB C Power Meter Tester, Eversame USB Voltmeter Ammeter Load Tester with Braided USB C to USB C Cable(1.5Ft/50cm) - Test Speed of Charger Cables - PD 2.0/3.0 QC 2.0/3.0/4.0
