murdock if you have a 3 phase kwh meter for residential use it is the same as having 3 single phase kwh meters,no diff. balancing the phases will only avoid overloading a phase causing overloadtripping of the circuit breaker! When it comes to 3 phase kVa metering then it becomes another ball game!
Hi all, just want to check-in again on this.
If I have a 3-phase prepaid residential meter, and only mainly use a single phase with the odd use of oven (on another phase) and geyser (on a other phase), which in principle is a unbalanced system I won't be penalised from a metering perspective? There would be no saving in trying to balance the system or going to a single phase supply?
