[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 504539, member: 13534"] The light is on the Kvarh side of the meter. i would ignore that as it means nothing to you. In the uk houses are billed in kw [which is true power and NOT kvar which would be apparent power [power factor and all that] In some places they bill you in kvarh to attempt to force you to improve the power factor of the stuff you have connected up.. Having said that, you need to make sure that the meter is NOT registering in kvar, as you will then, depending on what you have connected, have a bigger bill.. john.. [/QUOTE]
