Is reliability of the data logging important in this scenario? If so, why wouldn't you go the route of using Ethernet (Modbus TCP) and move past the entire serial experience? Also, from a security of data perspective, you would benefit from some type of mediator box like a Modbus-to-SNMP mediator. It takes the Serial Mo ...

Hi Mjuice, You will only be charged for what you draw from the grid. The charging by the utility only occurs after the netting of the three phases at the meter has occurred.

It would probably help to think of it as summing the three phases and asking yourself what the total is. If you ...

This information can be read real-time via a mobile app (not provided by the Electricity Provider) or on an internal display. I believe the reason for the 24 hour delay for the readings is that all the results are compiled on a nightly basis ...
