KWH Meter Diagram [RE-wrenches]

[Mr. Sharkey]

	List;

	Due to overwhelming demand (well, OK, so one Wrench wanted to see it),
I've posted the diagram on how to convert a 240 volt, 3 wire kilowatt meter
to 120 volt, two wire operation.
	You'll find the meter diagram at:
http://www.mrsharkey.com/wrenches/kwhmeter.pdf . Sorry about the file size
(183k), but I had a heckuva time getting the image to be readable with any
more comperssion.
	Note that with any installation of a KWH meter, the exciter coils do draw
a small amount of current, even when the load is off. As such, all of these
meters constitue a phantom load. I've noticed no problems running meters in
this configuration on Trace SW and 812 series inverters. The meter doesn't
appear to care if the power is mod-square wave, although they do make a
slight amount of audible noise when powered by mod-sq.
