   Sorry,   
      
   In the US, mains electric power is referred to by several names   
   including "household power", "household electricity", "house current",   
   "powerline", "domestic power", "wall power", "line power", "AC power",   
   "city power", "street power".   
      
   I call it Mains power over here, but I digress.   
      
   Really cheap unprotected meters can be somewhat explosive if   
   accidentally connected across the mains - especially with that 10A   
   unfused option.   
      
   Also given the cost, source, and look of the PCB, I'd not trust it.

   Perfect for low voltage projects though.
