How to connect house meter electricity from 230 Volt line

_{Hello Everyone
This is @max-pro from, #Bangladesh}

Electric poles usually have lines of different voltages. It depends on the power supply requirement of our area. Basically I live in a village so the electricity pole in our village has a certain level of voltage.

Our village electric poles usually have power distribution lines of 11 kV (kilovolt) or 33 kV voltage. These high voltage lines are used to supply electricity to villages from local substations. Later this voltage is stepped down to 230 volts through a transformer and supplied for domestic use. The line supplied from the electric pole to the house is usually 230 volts (V). It is a single phase line used in homes. Especially where three phase connection is required. 400 volt (V) line is provided there.

There is an electric pole next to our house. Mains supply current lines are mainly on that pole. So the line went from this pole to different houses. The procedure for supplying a 230 voltage line from an electric pole to a house is generally as follows...

In our village electric poles usually have 11 KV or 33 KV voltage lines. Transformers are used to convert this high voltage electricity into low voltage. Transformers are usually installed at fixed locations in rural areas. The 230 voltage electricity coming out of the transformer flows into the local distribution line.

Through distribution lines, electricity reaches our homes, meaning domestic users. This is usually through the home's meter panel and connections. The 230 voltage line is connected to the meter with the wire on the left in the picture below.

A wire (drop wire) is drawn from the electrical pole to the house. Which is usually 230 volts single phase or 400 volts three phase. This drop is added to the electricity meter of his house. As you can see in the picture below.

This meter measures the amount of electricity consumption and is used for billing the customer. Electricity from the meter flows into the house circuit. Generally a main circuit breaker or switch is connected to the meter which distributes power to different circuits. Two main cables (phase and neutral) from the electricity meter are connected to our main circuit.

These cables are connected from the output terminal of the meter to the main circuit breaker. The cables connected from the meter are connected to a main circuit breaker (main switch) in the house. This breaker automatically shuts off power in case of power overload or short circuit. Then it is easy to understand that the electricity from the meter has reached the various sockets (plugs) and lights through the internal wiring of the house.

There are basically two types of meters in Bangladesh. In urban areas of Bangladesh there are card meters which are recharged to pay the bill and in our rural areas we have prepaid meters which have to be paid at the end of the month. Electric meter starts working after electrical connection.

Electricity flows from the meter and it starts measuring the amount of electricity. As electricity flows through the meter, it calculates the amount of electricity (usage). Modern digital meters show the amount of electricity consumption as a digital display or reader. Older analog meters used a rotary dial. The meter will usually measure the amount of electricity in kilowatt-hours (kWh) units. If you see the numbers in the picture below, you can understand how much KH has been spent.

It reads this amount every month or billing cycle. At the end of the monthly or billing cycle, the customer is billed based on the amount of electricity usage. The meter has protection against excess or harmful current, which shuts off the power or gives a warning if necessary.

I am telling the process of calculating the amount of money from electric meter. First, the meter measures the amount of electricity (kWh) used by the customer. This is usually known from the display or dial of the meter. Electricity distribution companies set a fixed price per unit (kWh) of electricity. The total bill amount is calculated based on the amount of electricity consumed and the tariff.

• Example :

The price per unit of electricity in Bangladesh varies according to the type of customer and usage. For example, the price per unit is BDT 5 to 7 Taka for domestic users and may be higher for commercial users. The amount is calculated by multiplying the number of units consumed and the price per unit. If 200 units of electricity are consumed and each unit costs BDT 6 Taka, then the total bill will be 200 x 6 = BDT 1200 Taka.

Some other charges may be added to the electricity bill. Such as VAT, a government tax that is levied on bills at a fixed rate. Service charge, the service charge prescribed for electricity supply. Interest on unpaid bills, interest for non-payment of previous bills. All these charges are added together to determine the final bill that the customer has to pay.
