Digital Electric Meter Diagram

Single phase form 2s for 120v circuit.

Digital electric meter diagram.

Form 4s meters are used for single phase three wire services with two ct s. Below are the the connections diagrams for installation of a single phase 3 phase 4 wire kwh meter digital or analog energy meter from the supply to the main distribution board in home. In simple terms 1 kilowatt hour 1 000 watt hours. Here is a wiring diagram for the form 4s meter.

A signal identifying your particular meter is sent down the service wires from the electric meter to the utility company. It reveals the elements of the circuit as simplified forms and the power and signal connections between the devices. This diagram shows how to wire it for 120v. Thus a digital electric meter is much simpler to read than a traditional meter because it has fewer readings to decipher.

A wiring diagram is a simplified traditional photographic representation of an electric circuit. Unlike traditional analog electric meters many digital meters transmit your meter reading wirelessly to the electric. This is a transformer rated meter that would be used when the service is too large to put in a form 2s meter. A digital electric meter records the amount of electricity your household is using electronically.

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. Newer electric meters are digital and are actually read from the utility company s office. Electric meters read power usage in kilowatt hours.
