208 V 2 pole meter [RE-wrenches]

[Jeff Irish]

I concur with Darryl.  We've used several CL200 240V 3W (single phase) glass
bulb meters connected line to line on 208Y120 three phase service and they
work just fine, meaning that over time the meter reading and inverter
E-total are within a few percent of each other.

If you have doubts or need meter help, Austin International in SC is pretty
helpful.

I am surprized if he is correct.  The meters work on
120 to 240 volt just fine, your power is single phase
added to a three phase load, your meter is single
phase, I think it will work.  Perhaps you can get
intouch with the meter people.
