The causes of excessive consumption can be both due to improper use of the installation and failures in the consuming equipment.
A simple and economical way to know the consumption is to install a kilowatt hour meter in the power line of each consumption.
Manufacturers of electrical switchgear supply products that are simple to install and reliable in measure.
These equipment are installed provisionally in series with the line in which the measurement is to be carried out, keeping them installed during the period in which the consumption is to be recorded. The installation diagram would be as follows:
As you can see the meter is installed downstream of the magnetothermal switch and in series with the line in which it is intended to identify the consumption.Their small size and connection mode at the bottom allows them to be integrated into commercial electrical panels.
Its use can be either isolated, with reading on the same meter, or coordinated by means of automatic machines that take automatic readings from different meters.
It is a solution that will help us make decisions when it comes to optimizing the electricity consumption of our home.
