watt meter

I think that's unlikely. The domestic watt-hour meters I've seen turn at either 150, 225 or 250 revolutions per kWh. 7.2 revolutions per kWh seems much too slow, and 7.2 revolutions per Wh would be 7200 revolutions per kWh, which is too fast. Whereabouts on the meter does it say "kh 7.2"? Do you have a picture of the meter, or know the maker's name and model number? It's possible it could be a weird non-standard meter. Also, might it say "kWh 7.2" instead of "kh 7.2"?

Best wishes,

Chris, First off I live in ontario which may be why the meters are so different. But your answer of 150 turns per kwh is not very far off my result since 150x7.2 watt-h=1.08 Kwh. The Kh 7.2 is posted on the front of the meter. (It is not Kwh) Thanks for responding to my query. Best Regards, anton

nk that's unlikely. The domestic watt-hour meters I've seen turn

Apologies, my mistake. I thought you said 7.2 revolutions per watt-hour, not 7.2 watt-hours per revolution. The meters I've seen state revolutions per kWh, which is why I got confused.

Yes, 7.2 watt-hours per revolution would be a sensible figure. Is "kh" the only thing it says?

Chris

Here's a pointer to a 7.2Kh meter.

I haven't looked it up - but I think the intention is for a 1 kilowatt power consumption rate, there are 7.2 thousand turns per hour or 7200/3600 turns per second i.e 2 turns per second.
