Read and interpret electric meter readings

75.1 How do you read and interpret electric meter readings?

To read an electric dial meter, you need to observe the position of each pointer on the dials. Start from the right-most dial and move to the left. If a pointer is between two numbers, record the smaller number. For example, in the image above, the dials read 7, 3, 2, 5, and 6 from left to right. This means the meter reading is 73 256 kilowatt-hours. Remember, the direction of the arrows on each dial alternates, so pay attention to the direction when reading each dial.
