When the drop comes to my house and goes to the meter, how does it connect? If it only has 2 contacts? Just based on that I don't see how the meter would "Know" how to charge different for each leg. It sounds like someone was wishful thinking to me.

What I wish they did in my area was to have a dual meter to charge for peak and off peak, I could easily wait for night to do wash and such. As it stands now they just bill .0824 for the first 629 KWH and then .0965 after that. I have been working on lowering my usage as best I can with compact flourescents, so when I interested when I read the story of the phase thing.

Thanks for your responses.
