EFFECTS OF AVR ON ELECTRICITY BILLS

[masealtd]

HI

I WILL LIKE TO KNOW THE EFFECT OF USING AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR ON ENERGY READINGS OF MY ELECTRICITY METER.

FOR INSTANCE DUE TO DISTRIBUTION PROBLEM THE VOLTAGE AT MY 200 IS 200V INSTEAD OF 240V MY SINGLE PHASE ANALOG  METER IS DESIGNED TO MEASURE. IS THE METER WOULD MAKE PAY MORE BY INCREASING THE VOLTAGE TO 240 WITH REGULATOR(TRANSFORMER ) AT MY HOME.

THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWERS
