What are the benefits of using a digital power meter compared to an analogue power meter?

Yes, there is a multitude of benefits. One of the biggest being that a digital power meter provides a continuous and instantaneous reading. Commonly, analogue power meters are used for the same purpose as a digital meter but are distinctly more difficult to read and understand, hence why qualified technicians are a more popular choice when it comes to taking meter readings. Digital power meters are usually integrated to share usage measurements and data to utility suppliers enabling to be easier and more convenient for both the energy user and energy company to give accurate readings.
