total quantity of electricity (in amp-hours) or the total amount of electrical energy (in watt Panel Board
hours or kWh) supplied to a circuit in a given time. This summation gives the product of time Switch Board

energy is being supplied because their registrations are independent of this rate provided the
current flowing through the instrument is sufficient to operate it. Ampere — hour, watt hour Watt Meter

and kWh meters fall in this class. Volt Meter
