The degree on the meter is a number representing the reading of the meter, usually 6 digits. The following steps are how to read the watt hour meter:
1. Reading the number of the meter: there are usually 6 numbers on the meter, which represent the reading of the meter. These numbers are usually arranged together to form a six digit number.
2. Determine the type of electricity meter: there are two types of electricity meter, one is mechanical electricity meter, the other is electronic electricity meter. The reading of mechanical ammeter is the number pointed by the pointer, while the reading of electronic ammeter is the number displayed by the digital display.
3. Determine the unit of electricity meter: the reading of electricity meter is usually in kilowatt hour, which is the standard unit of electric energy. If the meter uses other units, such as watt hours or megawatt hours, the reading needs to be converted to kilowatt hours.
4. Record the initial reading of the meter: before starting to use the meter, it is necessary to record the initial reading of the meter. This can be done by recording the number on the meter.
5. Calculate the consumption of electricity meter: read the number of electricity meter again within a period of time, such as a month or a quarter. Subtract the initial reading from this figure to get the amount of electricity used by the meter during this period.
6. Determine the electricity charge: the electricity charge can be calculated according to the consumption of the electricity meter and the electricity rate. The tariff rate is usually set by the local power company or government agency.
In conclusion, reading the watt hour of the meter requires attention to the type and unit of the meter, and the initial reading needs to be recorded to calculate the consumption and electricity charge.
