Last week our electricity supplier replaced our home's 20 year old
electromechanical power meter with a Centron C1SR3OTA solid state
wireless reading meter.

Now the meter reader won't have to schlepp a hundred feet through the
snow and down a slippery slope to get to where the meter is, he can read
it from the comfort of his vehicle.

(The town just replaced our "plug in" remote water meter reader jack
with a wireless one too.)

I believe that our old electric meter recorded only the "real" power
consumed.

Do these new solid state meters also record only the real power used, or
should I be looking into adding power factor correction capacitors to
the heavier motor driven loads like our two heat pumps?

Thanks guys,

Jeff
