It's unlikely you have a two-phase supply. Two-phase systems (two phases, displaced by 90 electrical degrees) are very old, and there are very few two-phase systems around. Assuming you really mean 'two phase', t's unlikely, therefore, that you can use a three-phase energy meter using its standard terminals.

What is the difference between single phase and three phase voltage measurement?
Phasing, or the number of phases in an electrical system has nothing to do with the voltage. A single phase and three phase supply could have a voltage supply of any given voltage from virtually 0 to infinity. Most single phase power supplies in the US are 120/208-240 volt. Three phase power supplies are typically 120/208 to 277/480 volt.
Reverse running of three phase meter?
The reverse running of a three phase meter is possible when one of the meter's two potential coils fails. This is a problem found typically on a Delta service. A three phase meter in this condition is damaged and will report lower energy use than actual.
Why three phase meter is better than single phase meter?
A three-phase meter can be used for single phase while the reverse is not the case.
What will happen if we use current transformer of different rating for each phase in three phase supply?
A current transformer has to have the same ratio as the meter that it drives. Full scale deflection on the meter is 5 amps which equals the maximum allowed current on the phase that it is reading. A different ratio on the CT to meter would show an erroneous reading on the meter depending on the ratio of the connected CT. To keep costs down the meter is common to all three phases and is read by connecting the meter to the phase CT through a three position switch.
How can wire up the voltmeter to measure 3 phase supply without rotary switch?
There are only two ways this can be accomplished. The most economical way to measure three phase voltages is with one meter and a rotary switch, that has an off position, to connect the one meter to each of the three phases one at a time. The other approach is to have three volt meters connected to each phase to measure each phase individually. With the three meter approach you will still need a switch in each meter so that the meter can be taken out of the circuit when no reading is needed.

How do you stop electronic three phase energy meter?
By stop using the electricity
How would a three phase meter reading compare to three single phase meters connected to the same service?
The reading on the 3-ph meter would equal the sum of the three separate readings on the single-phase meters. The neutral sides of the single phase meters do not need to be connected to the neutral wire as long as they are connected together.
Why three phase meter is better than single phase meter?
A three-phase meter can be used for single phase while the reverse is not the case.
Can you use single phase kwh meter for three phase load?
No. For three phase, you need a minimum of a two element meter.
How do you start a three phase motor to a single phase power supply?
You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.

What is the requirement of three phase to five phase transformation?
If you want a five-phase supply you need to start with a three-phase supply and a transformer that has 15 symmetrical cores. But why would one need a five-phase supply . . three is enough.

How is a three phase agricultural motor used when there is no power supply?
With no three phase power supply you can't use a three phase motor of any kind at all!
What is the difference between three phase load and phase supply?
How much current equipments are drawing from three phases (combined or individual) is called three phase load and how much supply we are getting from source is called three phase supply. Ex. In INDIA single phase supply is 220 volt ac with neutral. So in three phase supply all RYB phases should be 220 volts ac with neutral individually. If we calculate with phase to phase than it shoulb be 415 volts ac.
