Digital Electric Meter Diagram

Electric meters read power usage in kilowatt hours.

Digital electric meter diagram.

Unlike traditional analog electric meters many digital meters transmit your meter reading wirelessly to the electric. Newer electric meters are digital and are actually read from the utility company s office. In simple terms 1 kilowatt hour 1 000 watt hours. Here is a wiring diagram for the form 4s meter.

Form 4s meters are used for single phase three wire services with two ct s. Thus a digital electric meter is much simpler to read than a traditional meter because it has fewer readings to decipher. This is a transformer rated meter that would be used when the service is too large to put in a form 2s meter. A signal identifying your particular meter is sent down the service wires from the electric meter to the utility company.

Single phase form 2s for 120v circuit. Form 2s need a meter for a 120 volt circuit. The red wire shows the live or line or phase and the blake shows the neutral wire. It reveals the elements of the circuit as simplified forms and the power and signal connections between the devices.

Order our 240 volt meter. A wiring diagram is a simplified traditional photographic representation of an electric circuit. This diagram shows how to wire it for 120v. Form 5s meters are transformer rated meters that can be used in a variety of different service types.
