Monitoring Power Consumption

Monitoring Power Consumption

Monitoring Power Consumption

(OP)
Looking for a portable industrial quality power monitoring system that could be temporarily and conveniently "clamped on" to each of a number of principal electrical power consuming devices to "simultaneously and continuously" record power consumption of each individual device, preferably wirelessly connected to data storage, with an open data communication protocol and remote monitoring possible via internet.

Any suggestions as to where I should look for such a system?

Thanks,

Thanks Roy.  I have energy efficiency studies in mind, so I need logging and the convenience of clamp-ons.  Yes it looks like these will work too.  Appreciate the additional info.

Zog,  Good stuff.  I like the demos and the explicitly stated RS232 interface.

Thanks to everyone.  Reached info overload.  
Give me some time to sort.
