Interesting, I have had the Uni-T 1010A for a couple of years and except for the logo the MPM-1010 is exactly the same. I think I paid around $140.00 USD including shipping. Even the 2017 date and code on the circuit board and the wire management are the same. Just an FYI the MCU is a STM8L151c6 and has ports for USART, IC2, and SPI. I did follow the traces for the USART up to the area you were expecting for the RS232 connection and I think you are correct. As you mentioned it probably needs a converter IC and maybe the missing optocoupler to the right might be needed. I really like that they opto-isolated and even have high voltage slots in the PC Board. Seem to be well designed and built. I was hoping I could easily add the RS232 but looks a bit more complicated. I also really like the separate power connections for the power meter and the load. I use it with an isolation transformer and autotransformer (BK 1655A) for a variable AC bench supply and it works great. Thanks for posting Tony.

Merry Christmas Tony Thanks for all the interesting and informative videos this year Enjoy the holidays 🎅

Thanks for your sharing! Nice.

I can only imagine the nest of power boards being needed behind for all of your measuring equipment. Any chance you can show us what it looks like? 10/10 for this vid

I finally decided to buy this device. This video was useful to me... Thank you...👍

Really strange I was just making a video about power measurement using my old Feedback EW604. Your new electronic meter looks very good. I had a look in the ELESHOP and thought they have some great test equipment at good prices.

Hi Tony, it looks like the load has no safety earth connection when you use a standard schuko plug connected to the universal load socket in the center. You may have to use a US earthed plug (3 prongs) and make a conversion cable with a schuko socket to get a safety earth for your load. Noting that standard US plugs and cables may not be rated for 230V AC.

Make it a great new year.

Nice product. Did you also measure the power consumption of the meter itself?

got 3 of these ,, as original ivytech china brand... not bad at all

Hi Tony, nice video and nice power meter! Since the german energy costs are exploding due to our new official governmental green „world-temperature-in50-years-regulator-religion“ I‘m hunting for all devices their power consumptions. Keep us informed if you find the rs232/usb solution for the device! btw: I‘m so happy that I do not have the space around my bench for all the big, heavy boat anchors you can collect! I have to reduce myself to small, up to date equipment!
