Looking at my electric bill, there’s a section saying “this percent came from [ex: Air conditioner, major appliances (fridge, oven), etc]”. How do they know that?
In: 383
Example – Guy is arrested for pulling amps between 2am and 4am by FBI. They suspected he is growing illegally because the plants require water and light at specific amps. Reality, he works third shift and joined an online wood-working class where he uses a table saw and power equipment late through the night in his basement. Case dismissed.
Each appliance draws amps differently past the meter on the side of the house. Refrigerator compressor turns on? Maybe 10 amps with a specific startup draw of 12 amps.
