Below is a link to YouTube where I posted a video of the HWH meter which I made yesterday in beautifull Auckland spring weather. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFs6WJsoVFgenjoy Raymond

Thanks for the video and the information. Hope you enjoy the NZ spring.
With the heatwave we've been having here, I would have turned (exceeded capacity) that meter almost twice in the last 40 days or so.

This must have been a ploy by the billing department to get more money out of customers who didn't use very much electricity.

In France, historically and up to the present, electricity was [and is] cheaper the smaller the poco fuse or breaker fitted, an arrangement that suits our frugal paysans. Today, you can still opt for a 3kW supply, that's just 13Amps! But if you want a cheap rate at night, you must opt for a minimum massive increase to....6kW!

In Italy, the standard(!) supply is 15A single phase, i.e. 3300W (for some odd reason Enel still calculates 220V instead of 230)! For 20 or 30A you have to pay up considerably.
Somewhere I've got an Austrian 1930s or probably 50s kWh meter which is rated for a maximum current of 10A. This was designed for small farm houses with one single circuit (usually those houses were considerably less than 1000 sq. feet, often no indoor plumbing well into the 1970s).
