6.2 How to Read the kWh Meter

Fig. 17. Readings are Displayed in Whole Numbers.

The Class 2000 kWh meter displays readings in whole numbers, there are no

decimals.

To find the dollar cost for the power used by the load(s) being monitored, you must first

find out what the cost per kWh is in your area (this cost can be found on your utility

electric bill, or call your local utility and ask for their cost per kilowatt hour.) Simply

multiply the cost per kWh by the kWh reading from the E-Mon D-Mon meter. The

resultant figure is the dollar cost for power used by the load(s) being monitored by this

meter.

Example:

8-digit display reading 00000017

Cost per kWh from utility $0.12100

17 x $0.121 = $2.06

NOTE: THE FOLLOWING ONLY APPLIES TO METERS USING MORE THAN ONE

SET OF CURRENT SENSORS. For meters using parallel current sensors

you must multiply the kWh display reading by the number of sets of cur-

rent sensors installed.

Example: 250 (meter display reading) x 2 (sets of sensors in parallel) = 500 kWh 500

kWh x $0.121 (utility cost per kWh) = $60.50
