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.

What is a peak flow meter used to measure?

A peak flow meter is used to measure the maximum speed at which air can be exhaled from the lungs. It is commonly used to monitor and manage conditions such as asthma and other respiratory problems.


What is increased if pulse duration is decreased?

If pulse duration is decreased, the peak power of the pulse is increased. This is because peak power is inversely proportional to pulse duration. So, as the duration of the pulse shortens, the energy is delivered in a shorter time period, resulting in an increase in peak power.

What is peak wattage?

Peak wattage refers to the maximum amount of power output that a device or system is capable of generating or handling at one time. This measurement is useful for determining the peak performance capacity of appliances, electronic devices, or power sources.


What is the meaning of Peak period and Off-Peak period?

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.

What another name for peak flow meter?

Another name for a peak flow meter is a peak expiratory flow meter (PEFM). This device is used to measure the maximum speed of expiration, helping to monitor lung function, especially in individuals with asthma or other respiratory conditions.


What does peak power and continuous nominal power handling in car speakers?

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.

What is the conversion for rms power to peak to peak power?

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.

Would a one quarter HP motor cost more to operate starting and stopping versus running continuously?

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.
