No you wouldn't have seen any change in the kwh reading in an hour because there is no change in real power which is what kwh is. If you were measuring kva (volt amperes) then that would change.
I would assume that the kwh reading on the (handheld) meter would be instantaneous. Otherwise you would have to wait an hour in order for it to give you a reading of any kind. No different than reading horse power on a meter on a dyno. Or for that mater even rpm on an rpm meter. You don't have to wait a full minute or read revs per minute. 73 Gary K4FMX > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:Repeater- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Chuck Kelsey > Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 8:36 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] OT Power Factor > > The kWh reading didn't change because the time was too short.
