How to Read your Electrical Meter
p.1
1. You will read the meter dials from left to right.
2. Each of the dials represent one number of the present reading. The dials will either move clockwise or counter clockwise, but when the dial is in the middle of two numbers you will use the smaller number(the 0 represents 10).
For example p.1 meter read would be 46,372 kilowatt hours.
There is also an digital display on your reader that is called: Time-of-Use electric meter
2.
The number in display 04 is On-Peak kWh. Write down the number displayed and label it as On-Peak kWh.3. The number in display 08 (Level 3 only) is Mid-Peak kWh. Write down the number dsplayed and label it as Mid-Peak kWh.
4. The meter does not record Off-Peak kWh. But you can calculate your off-peak usage by subtracting the on-peak usage from the total usage:
Total kWh – On-Peak kWh (-Mid-Peak for Level 3)= Off-Peak kWh
You can see how these charges can effect you and can save you money by reading about Electricity Smart Meters.
