 Mag Lab Education - Interactive Tutorials: Electricity Meter
As households and businesses began hooking up to brand new electrical lines in the late 19th century, utility companies needed a way to calculate how much electricity their customers were using.
Some 14 years later, Thomas Edison developed a model using electrolysis to measure electricity usage; a set-up similar to the one demonstrated in our tutorial on the simple electrical cell was used; the amount of zinc eaten up indicated how much electricity had been consumed.
This tutorial begins with 4500.00 KWH already racked up on the meter, a figure deduced by reading the numbers on the dials from left to right (the red dials record the numbers that follow the decimal).

 Electricity : How does electricity meter work?
An electricity meter is designed to measure the total electrical energy consumed in a house, usually in kilowatt-hour (kWh).
In recent meters, the two values are usually digitized and the product and integral are performed in a micro-controller.
In multi-phase meters (many homes have 2 or 3 phases of electricity supply, providing more power), voltage and current measurements have to be electrically isolated for each phase and transformers are used instead of shunts for current sensing.
