That will depend on your utility. Some off peak meters are on time switches and do not work at all during the day while other utilities just charge you more during peak times than they do during off-peak times.
It shuts off then back on by itself??? Its either a faulty power supply to your home (one phase is shutting off somehow), or you have some serious wiring problems that needs looked at. another answer may be a "ripple hookup" from the power company ... these circuits are remotely controlled by the utilty company. the idea is to disconnect "non critical high current" loads via relays at times of peak demand (for example; turn off the electric baseboard heaters and use a propane furnace secondary heat source)... the cost per KWH charged by them is lower during off peak times. usually there is a second off peak meter near the "normal" meter. kind of a long shot but still possible if you are not aware of it.
Some electricity supply utility companies offer electric power at cheaper charge rates during their "off-peak" period each day, for example in "Cents per kiloWatt-hour". (The actual charge obviously depends on what your local money is.) The "peak" period is usully during normal daytime hours and the "off-peak" period is usually during the night. The start and finish times for these periods are controlled by a time clock connected to the electricity meter which has to be "dual-charge-rate" meter to record the total electricity used at the two different charging rates. As you don't say where you live, the best answer to help you is to advise you to contact your local electricity supplier to ask for the local electricity charging rates and the times of day for peak and off-peak electricity supply periods.
i think so.........
Mawson Peak is a volcanic mountain which is still active and is located on Heard Island in Australia .

Compare VU meter to peak meter PPM. Scroll down to related links and look at "VU meter - Wikipedia" and "Peak meter - Wikipedia".
because that is what the peak flow meter reads after you have blown into it
Peak power is the highest rated output of the speaker when loud (or peak) parts hit. Continuous/nominal power is the average output at normal and continuous listening levels. If you have the Peak Power rating, you can figure out the nominal level by multiplying the peak power by the square root of two (0.707). Peak Power * 0.707 = Nominal Power.
Rome was at its peak of its power during the reign of Augustus.
RMS power is Peak-To-Peak power divided by the square root of 2.This definition, however, only holds true for a non-reactive, or resistive, load, with a power source that is truly sinusoidal.
The peak power of the Kicker 08DS12L72 is 1500 Watts.
you Emily 150 ponds
yes
Mean power is measured in Watts and Peak power is measured in KW.
What you need to consider is that whenever you are using or consuming power you are paying for it. An ordinary house watt meter just stops and starts and accumulates time as it goes. Your small motor's inrush will not add up to anysignificant amount of money. In commercial and industries it is a different matter. Some of their power meters incorporate a peak demand meter in them. This is a movable meter movement that marks the highest peak used from one meter reading to the next. This peak is then added into the total monthly consumption resulting in a much higher bill at the end of the month. The larger motors usually are not stopped and started frequently in commercial and industrial locations because of the penalty of paying for peak demand.
