Sorry for yet another question on this topic.
I have got sub metering installed on all outgoing submains, I also have a meter on the incoming main
Between the main meter and sub meters, I have my power factor correction
over a week, I'm getting about 1,500kWh of difference, the sub meters total being higher by that amount compared to the incomer meter.
I'd like to say that the power factor correction has effectively saved that number of kWh, is that correct?
they are Rayleigh RID240 meters
They do display PF and log it etc.
The objective of the system really is to identify areas with the potential to save energy, that's all. I think I need to avoid getting bogged down into the accuracy, but I am enjoying learning about it and how it works on our site.
it would have been a point of interest if I could say the PFC was saving £x, but no other consequence as I know our PF is .99 on the bill
the other thing, upstream from the meters, the busbar chamber gets pretty toasty, so there will be some losses in that just on its own, and that is between the sub meters and my main income meter
the DNO meter is on the 11kV side of things, so I know that will be different again due to transformer losses too
