I am in a pinch and need a crude shunt but I have no multimeter. I would like to use a toaster in conjunction with a microcontroller. The toaster is rated 750 watts at 120v/60hz ac. Are these RMS watt ratings (120v) or peak (177v)?
Do you think these ratings are for a cold nichrome wire or for one at operating temperature (I could use a fudge factor).
Thanks.
