I need some help in understanding the operation of the
domestic KW-Hr. meters the electric utility companies
use to calculate my electric bill every month.

It was my understanding that the KiloWatts in each
phase of my 220 Volt service was measured, and integrated
to obtain the KW-Hrs.

A friend of mine, who is an electrician by trade, claims
that the >>DIFFERENCE<< between each phase is integrated.

Anybody have any insight??
