[RE-wrenches] smart meters/bidirectional

[Mark Frye]

Jay,

I recently ran a smartmeter prior to changing out to a NEMS meter here in
California (PG&E). <for test purposes only of course>

I saw the energy flow indicator reverese direction and after a period of
time, the kWH reading also decreased so I was pretty confident that the
smartmeter was behaving the same as to old dics meters.

HI All,

Say are the new California smart meters bi-directional?

A recent install "test" showed the meter resister a negative watt
indication, but I couldn't run it long enough to see if the KWH went
backwards.

thanks,

jay
