This course concentrates on the electricity meter, electric meter, electrical meter, energy meter, or kilowatt-hour meter which is a device that measures the amount of electric energy consumed by a residence, a business, or an electrically powered device.
Electric meter or energy meter measurements, the total power consumed over time are examined.
Electric meters installed at customers' premises for billing and monitoring purposes are examined from the electric utility perspective. The typical calibrated billing units are developed, the most common one being the kilowatt-hour (kWh) and how they are read once each billing period.
If desired, some meters may measure demand, and the maximum use of power in some intervals. "Time of use" metering allows electric rates to be changed during the day, to record usage during peak high-cost periods and off-peak, lower-cost, periods.
Single-phase and three-phase metering measurements are also covered.
The student will understand the physics of electrical power and the instrumentation involved in measuring single and three-phase power flow.
Example: Understanding digital & analog Watt meters, Kwhr Meters, and polyphase connections.
You should have a basic understanding of single and three-phase power systems.
You should have a basic understanding of an electrical three-phase power system.
