A German digital electric meter works similarly to any other electric meter. The device measures your electricity usage and enables you to predict your utility bill. You can use a couple of simple principles of translation in order to understand the reading on your German digital electric meter.
Instructions
1. Read your total usage. The top portion of a German digital electric meter represents your total usage of electricity. This number doesn't yield much help; however, because the amount you will be billed varies based upon day and night usage.
2. Read your daytime usage. The meter below the top meter represents "DT," or daytime usage. Multiply this value by your daytime rate to predict your daytime bill.
3. Read your nighttime usage. The bottom meter represents "NT," or night usage. This generally costs more than daytime usage. Multiply this value by your nightly rate to predict your nighttime bill. You can then add together your daytime and nighttime readings to calculate your actual total bill.
