The voltage coil consumes a small and relatively constant amount of power, typically around 2 watts which is not registered on the meter.
The number of revolutions is thus proportional to the energy usage.
The meters fall into two basic categories, electromechanical and electronic.Electromechanical The most common type of electricity meter is the watt-hour meter.On a AC supply, the electromechanical induction meter operates through by counting the revolutions of a non-magnetic, but electrically conductive, metal disc which is made to rotate at a speed proportional to the power passing through the meter. An Aron type DC electricity meter showing that the calibration was in charge consumed rather than energyAs commercial use of electric energy spread in the 1880s, it became increasingly important that an electric energy meter, similar to the then existing, was required to properly bill customers, instead of billing for a fixed number of lamps per month.DC meters measured in ampere-hours. Also, in some areas meters have relays for load shedding during peak load periods. 'Time of day' metering allows electric rates to be changed during a day, to record usage during peak high-cost periods and off-peak, lower-cost, periods. They are usually read once each billing period.When energy savings during certain periods are desired, some meters may measure demand, the maximum use of power in some interval. They are typically calibrated in billing units, the most common one being the ( kWh). North American domestic electronic electricity meterAn electricity meter, electric meter, electrical meter, or energy meter is a device that measures the amount of consumed by a, a, or an electrically powered e electric meters installed at customers' premises for.
