    This document discusses a 1Ph-2W energy meter with a double current element that can independently measure the energy consumption of two consumers sharing a premises with separate or common wiring. If the consumers share a common neutral wiring, tampering by one consumer by removing the neutral connection would cause the other consumer's meter to double count energy as it cannot distinguish between the two loads on the shared neutral.

    1Ph-2W Energy Meter

    Double Current Element


    Meter
    What does it mean ?
    This is the inside of the meter
    Case of two meters in a premises with
    independent wirings
    Consumer 1

    Phase

    Supply No problems!!

    Neutral

    Consumer 2
    Case of two meters in a premises with
    common neutral wiring
    Consumer 1

    Phase

    Supply This represents the common neutral

    Neutral

    Consumer 2
    … and the Consumer 1 removes his
    neutral
    Consumer 1

    Phase

    Supply

    Neutral

    Consumer 2
    The neutral current of Consumer 2 becomes sum of currents of both the consumers
    The one who tampers doesn’t loose.
    Consumer 1

    Phase

    Supply The looser is the one who doesn’t


    tamper!!

    Neutral

    Consumer 2
    The internal logic of the meter causes doubled recording of energy for Consumer 2
