Is there an electrician in the house?

Post by El Presidente »

I HATE asking this, because i know Ray will answer and i'll feel obliged to buy the miserable git a pint next time I see him . . .. But, my outbuildings has 3 electric meters (All Installed with the latest technology 2 years ago . or less) I have day rate, Night rate and Three phase . . . . I took out ALL The the Three phase equipment 2 Years ago, there is nothing hat should be using it . . so why am I clocking up a Unit a day ? :smt102

Hi Rick,
Is every thing disconnected from the 3phase meter?
I say this because even though its a 3phase meter for 3phase equipment you can also have single phase equipment coneected to it, lights sockets etc.
If there is nothing connected to it and the the 3phase distribrution board is turned off then the meter must be 'travelling'
Is it your private meter or local electricity authority?
If its local eectricity authority and you are not using it i would suggest you get them to take a look at it and think about having it disconnected - you pay rent for the meter!!!!!!!
Otherwise if its your private meter then i think its 'travelling' - some meters just slowly notch up when they got electric to them even though no electric is being used :smt102
Regards,
Ivor
