[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 504523, member: 13534"] What am i on about!! That will teach me to post things at one in the morning!! I thought it was one of them "smart" meters [that i have never seen] indicating that you were pulling a [B]LOAD[/B] of 1737kw, THAT would be 7000 odd amps [at 230v] If you are saying that the meter indicates that you have used 1737 Kwh over 8 days, then that is 217 Kwh a day.. If you are using 217 Kwh a day, then it is almost certainly correct, as this would be; 39A X [say] 230V = a load of 9.04 Kw.. You multiply 9.04 Kw X 24 hours, and you end up with 217Kw a day Since you say that you pull 100A at times, an average of 39A over 24 hours seems reasonable.. You need to turn that heating down.. john..... [/QUOTE]
