Default Two phases to house - loss of neutral

Leaving the neutral failure issue aside, what would happen if I

Would the two utility meters correctly reflect the energy I consumed?


yes.

Sylvia.


On second thoughts, it's pretty obvious that they wouldn't be correct,
and that I'd be significantly overcharged for the power.

No you wouldn't.

Each of the meters will indicate what you draw from the phases, and as
you now have a higher voltage, you will also draw more power, which is
what you are paying for.
