Power factor (again)

Johno12345

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?

    I may have got the wrong end of the stick but why don't you take a load of readings of all the meters  except the DNO one on the HV side then switch out the PFC bank wait say one hour then re read all your meters  the sub meters should add up to the reading on the DNOs LV meter except for the tiny amount used by the meters themselves. Was this site featured in a youtube video recently? It sounds very similar to an installation featured on there
