Default SOLVED: Was: Estimating KWh electicity billing using clamp-on ampmeter

The meter only shows whole integer numbers, so the effective
resolution is 80 kWh, which in my case represents 5% of typical
monthly usage.


I'm confused. Your previously posted usage/billing numbers weren't
divisible by 80. They were down to the 1/100 kwh, IIRC.


The numbers I showed was after the utility adds a "loss factor" to the
meter's reading. Something like 4 or 5 percent.
