Standard instruction how to take readings from an electricity meter

Standard instruction on how to read the meter from the

. It's nothing easier than taking the meter readings. To keep a record of the data on the use of electricity in the room, follow the following instructions:

1. Get a small notepad in which every month( its last numbers), you will record new readings.
2. Memorize a number to a comma. If the last digit is not allocated in a different color and is not separated, then the counter shows the whole kilowatt-hours.

To transmit information to the power supply, it is enough to provide the indications described in point 2. But, if during the year you do not provide a monthly report and pay for electricity yourself, then you need to be able to calculate the amount of electricity used, based on the data for the previous month. Let's take an example:
Let's say that the data for the last month is 35,522 kilowatt hours, and the current reading is 35598.7.We remember the school, round the eight in front of the comma and calculate: 35599-35522 = 00077 kWh. This number is multiplied by the set tariff. As a result, you get the amount you need to pay.

A slightly different situation when the data of the five-digit power meter changes as follows:
Let's say the readings for the last month are 99,540 kWh, and the current 00033. In this case, proceed as follows: 100033-99540 = 493 kW / h.

How correctly to take readings from a two-tariff meter?

Here everything is simple and simple. At the beginning of the month, enter the indications for the first and second tariff in your notebook. You can not write an integer, just one digit after the decimal point.
At the end of the month, again read the indication. Here the above scheme works: if you enter data into the energy supply via the Internet, then it is sufficient to enter the readings from the counter display for each tariff, but in the case of self-monitoring and payment, we consider according to the already familiar principle.

• First tariff: From current readings, we subtract previous ones. We multiply the obtained number by the rates of this tariff( for example, the daily rate).
• Second tariff: From current readings, we subtract previous ones. Multiply the obtained number by the tariffs of this tariff( for example, at night).

It remains to summarize the received data for the day and night tariff and you can safely make payment.
