i have a friend asking a question..
what i know is he has a three phase irrigation system being metered off a single phase kwh meter and what hes been doing is multipling that figure by three to get total power consumption
so he's been charging his neighbour this amount.
sooooooo i know this is wrong
for starters the kwh meter is for measuring 230 volts not 400 so how can it be giving a correct reading from the start let alone multipling this by three.
i recommended that he puts on a three phase kwh meter to get an accurate reading to work off .
can someone give me an answer to why what he's done is inaccurate
and weither he has been charging to much for his power usage or to little for his power usage
thanks guys
