NAGA CUAN The total amount of electrical energy you use in any period is measured in terms of kilowatt-hours (kwh). The instrument that records how much electricity you use is called an electric meter. This meter tells the power company how much electricity they need to charge you for. From right to left on most meter faces, the far right is the one that counts individual kilowatt-hours from 1 to 10; the next one counts the electricity from 10 to 100 kilowatt-hours; the third dial counts up to 1,000; the fourth counts up to 10,000; and the dial at the extreme left counts kilowatt-hours up to 100,000. If the arrow on a dial is between two numbers, the lower number should always be read. Each dial registers a certain number of kilowatt-hours of electrical energy.|UPSB Wiki.
