The KWH meter measured the energy (voltage and current) being used in its watt-hour tally.
Jules Bahringer
A kilowatt hour meter, also known as an electricity meter or electric meter, is a device used to measure and record the amount of electricity consumed by a residence, business, or other electrical system in kilowatt hours. It is typically installed by utility companies to accurately bill customers based on their electricity usage.

β 15y agokWhr is calculated by taking the wattage of the appliance in question, multiplying it by how many hours it's on, then dividing by 1000.
So, for example, if you leave a fan on all month and it consumes 85 watts:
85W * 24 hours * 30 days / 1000 = 61.2kWhr
Another example, if you watch TV for three hours every day, and your TV consumes 120W:
120W * 3 hours / 1000 = 0.36kWhr
So, 0.36kWhr per day, or 10.8kWhr per month (0.36 * 30). If your energy cost is, for example, $0.08/kWhr, then you're paying $0.86 per month for your TV habits.

β 12y agoKill-a-Watt is a commercial product that measures the number of kilowatts of power you consume from the power line connected to it.
One Kilowatt is 1000 watts.
NoteYou don't consume power; you consume energy which is expressed in kilowatt hours, not kilowatts.

In the same place the regular kilowatt hour meter was installed.
There are 3.6 million joules in one kilowatt-hour.
The kilowatt hour (KWHr) measures electricity use.
Take the amount of kWh that the meter states that you have used and multiply it by the cost of a kWh in your area.Another AnswerSubtract the energy meter reading from the previous billing period from that from the current billing period to determine the number of kilowatt hours used during that period. Multiply this difference by the cost per kilowatt hour charged by your energy provider. Note, however, some energy providers have a complicated billing system (tariff) in which the cost per kilowatt hour changes according to the amount of energy you use: x cents per kilowatt hour for the first so many kilowatt hours, y cents per kilowatt hour for the next so many kilowatt hours, and so on. Additionally, there may be a multiplication factor based on the changing price of fuel.
To calculate the electricity bill for a house per month, multiply the total kilowatt-hours used by the cost per kilowatt-hour. The total kilowatt-hours used can be found on your electricity bill or by monitoring your meter. The cost per kilowatt-hour is provided by your utility company.

Square meter is area and Kilowatt is energy. There is no equivalent.
The energy 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) is 3600000 joules.AnswerThere is no such thing as a 'kilowatt per hour'. You probably mean 'kilowatt hour'?
'Balanced loads' apply to three-phase a.c. loads. A three-phase kilowatt hour meter will measure both balanced and unbalanced loads, when correctly connected.

It is usually charged by the kilowatt hour which the company gets from reading your meter every month.
We in the Wiki community will NOT tell you how to break the law ! <<>> The above answer makes one think that they can be stopped. The only way that a kilowatt hour meter can be stopped is to stop drawing current through it. Otherwise your consumption of power just keeps adding up and you utility bill gets higher.

There is no such thing as a "kilowatt per hour". Kilowatt is a unit of power, not of energy. A unit of energy is kilowatt-hour. That's kilowatt times hours, not "per" hour ("per" implies division, not multiplication). If a generator produces 10 kilowatts, that means it produces 10 kilowatt-hours every hour.
for a disc type (electromechanical) meter the number of disc revolutions to indicate 1 kwh would be found by the formula 1000/ Kh, the watthour constant of the meter.
