Electronic interval meters (smart meters) record your usage in kilowatt hours (kWh) for every 15 minute period (interval). Each 15 minute interval is recorded and saved in the memory of the meter. We then connect to the meter, download the data and provide it to your retailer to issue your bill.
These meters are used for single phase and three phase metering, solar PV metering and time-of-use metering, as they can be programmed to suit customer's tariff requirements.
Metering data can be downloaded and charted for commercial customers, enabling them to understand and improve the management of their power consumption.
