[QUOTE="Tony S, post: 467216, member: 20864"] There were various ways to defeat analogue meters. On one plant we had a redundant substation and so we commandeered it. We had an array of old analogue meters supplying a fixed load. A series current coil behind the meter could slow the meter down, get it wrong and the meter speeded up. We tried just about anything you could think of, some worked, some didn’t. On a course with the EMEB we had a look around their “black museum”. The meter with a carving knife through the glass was a bit of a giveaway. One of EMEB’s cable jointers resigned. He set up electrical appliance sale rooms in three towns. His electricity bill would be about the equivalent of a 200W lamp running 24/7 in each shop. The EMEB had to dig roads up to find where he’d tee’d in to the main. [/QUOTE]
