A kWh meter measures the flow of energy along the circuit that the meter is connected to. Normally power flows from the supply to the load, which is the conventional direction, but in some cases, for example if the load is replaced by a generator, power can flow the other way and in that case the meter indicates a backward, negative, flow of power.
Why would you want to do this except for trying to steal power from the utility company. You will get no help here with your thievery.
A three-phase meter can be used for single phase while the reverse is not the case.
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.
It shows reverse readings
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.
Clamp the meter around the energized conductor that is connected to the load to be measured and read the amperage off of the dial face of the meter.

Different kinds of feet in classic scansion. Typically there is an indication of the kind of foot in a typical line, along with an indication of the number of those feet per line, as in 'iambic pentameter'.
WikiAnswers does not give information about illegal acts, such as tampering with with a TOD meter.
Yes, a water meter will run backwards. Running your meter backwards is stealing and could result in your service being diconnected and or a fine. Modern meters that are read via radio signals are sofisticated electronic instruments and will report leaks and reverse flows when read. So if your meter is a radio read type you had better not mess with it.
a meter!!!
The root word "meter" refers to measurement or something that measures. It is commonly used in words related to measuring length, such as thermometer or barometer.
Yes. This is usually an indication that either its current coil or its voltage coil has been wired incorrectly.
It shows reverse readings
A square meter is a unit of area, not length. You cannot say how long it is. As an area, it is a square with sides of length 1 meter. If you want an example: a single bed is about 1m x 2m, so a square meter is about half the size of a single bed.
