Why are you looking for an industrial plug ? I do not see the need for measuring the power 24/7 , why not just get a cheap killawatt and measure the consumption for couple hours, it will give you the average and that will probably be it all year , decade long.

I don't understand why would you want to invest a lot of money doing something that might might "unnecessary" , it's not like the gears will consume different power everyday , unless I am missing something!

here is the missing part...

I was going to install it in my mom's apartment (back once per 2 months +-) and the building has some regulations about the electricity. Because of safety in all aspect, I will place it in my friends warehouse that it's in another city.
 
My safety concern is the installation, fire, comfort. I saw some news that some people burned the building, got fined because of regulation, etc....

Like I said above, smart plug are not industrial and some people reported burned, so imagine if I plug it to an Asic miner.

The power usage can vary a lot throughout the day, so maybe you can use the killawatt for one day to get a daily average?

Or you could get a metered PDU to test the miners on - https://www.geistglobal.com/products/power-distribution/metered-pdus

Yea I was looking on some PDU but... too expensive and not really sure if will be suitable for me, too many options with upgrades and it's used on servers.

After all research I saw something really interesting...

That's what I'm looking for but the price is little too high, if I can get it with the shipping fee, it will be like a PDU price. I didn't have time to check the other 2 models, it might be the answer...

Not sure where you are located but you may want to build a variation of this if you can't find a suitable Manufactured option.

hi guys, i'm thinking to attach some industrial plug to monitor the consumption for each Asic miner, but I can't find a proper one.

my concern is the safety. any suggestions???

I was looking on these, but i don't like it...

Belkin Wemo = Smart Plug, not industrial and someone reported with burn
TP-Link HS110 = Smart Plug, not industrial and someone reported with burn
Inkbird = Temperature & humidity controller, industrial, one of the Wifi is 1100w only. other models are not suitable to monitor & control.
Standard plug = it gives watt, amp, consumption, etc. at the moment there are no problems but it looks cheap, it cost $15. no Wifi.
Efergy Ego Smart = not really sure, it has 3 stars ratting on amazon
EnergyVIEW Pro = only 1200w and I can't find any datasheet. it's available in Sri Lanka
