HOW TO READ ANALOG
METER?
 WHAT IS
An electric meter is a device that measures the
AN
ELECTRIC energy transformed from electrical sources to our
METER? devices at home which measures in kilowatt hours
(kWh).

Most electrical meters at home are located at a

conspicuous place outside of a residence for a quick
access by representatives of electrical companies to
do their monthly readings
Mr. Tan is computing his monthly electrical consumption. Based on his digital
electric meter shown below, how many kilowatt-hours did Mr. Tan consume this
month?
