Do I need two “DROK® Digital Multimeter AC 80-260V 100A Voltage Amperage Power Energy Meter AC Volt Amp Tester Voltmeter Ammeter Watt Meter LCD Digital Blue Display Volts Current Measuring with Transformer CT” meters, one on each leg to monitor a 220v sub panel, or is there a way to do it with one meter?

I have the same meter but want to read the voltage of a 220v water heater element. I hooked up the 2- 110v leads that go to the element into the meter and it fried it. Is what I want to do possible ? Thank you

Hello Dereck,
Thank you for writing in.
Have you connected this meter to read the voltage of a 220V water heater?
Was it burnt?
What are the 2-110V leads for?
So sorry that we are not sure the details of application.
Could you please tell us more details about it?
With your help, we can find a solution more quickly.
Best regards
