30 Pieces Of Silver - Gospel of Matthew 26:15
ELECTRICITY BILL CALCULATION
Formula for calculating electricity usage in units/30 days:-
Watts × hours/day x 30 days ÷ 1,000 = kWh
1 unit = 1kWh
Common electrical appliances ~30-day consumption
(figures based on maximum usage, {refrigerators, washing machines, water motor pumps & fans are vital} in summer, {lights are vital} in winter, {kitchen exhaust fans & laptops are vital} year-round):-
*Refrigerator: 1-2kWh (i.e. 24hrs/day) x 30 days = 30-60 units
*Washing machine: 500-1,400W x 2hrs/week x 4 weeks ÷ 1,000 = 4-11.2 units
*Laptop: 0.12-0.18kWh (i.e. 12hrs/day) x 30 days = 3.6-5.4 units
*Tubelight: 35-40W x 12hrs/day x 30 days ÷ 1,000 = 12.6-14.4 units
*LED light: 8-20W x 12hrs/day x 30 days ÷ 1,000 = 2.88-7.2 units
*Ceiling Fan: 3.6-31.1W x 24hrs/day x 30 days ÷ 1,000 = 2.59-22.39 units
*Pedestal Fan: 20-90W x 24hrs/day x 30 days ÷ 1,000 = 14.4-64.8 units
*Table Fan: 17-42.5W x 24hrs/day x 30 days ÷ 1,000 = 12.24-30.6 units
*Kitchen Exhaust Fan: 40W x 4hrs/day x 30 day ÷ 1,000 = 4.8 units
*Water Motor Pump: 250-1500W x 20mins/day ÷ 60 x 30 days ÷ 1,000 = 2.5-15 units
GAS BILL CALCULATION
Formula for calculating MMBTU to BTU:
MMBTU x 1,000,000 = BTU
Formula for calculating HM3 to MMBTU:
MMBTU ÷ 3.8 = 1 HM3 = 1 unit
Common gas appliances ~30-day consumption
(figures are based on maximum usage, i.e. winters):-
*Stove:
A 6-member family:- 16,500BTUs x 4-5hrs/day x 30 ÷ 1,000,000 ÷ 3.8 = 0.52-0.65 unit
A 4-member family:- 11,000BTUs x 4-5hrs/day x 30 ÷ 1,000,000 ÷ 3.8 = 0.35-0.43 unit
*Geyser:
Pilot:- 600BTUs x 24hours/day x 30 days ÷ 1,000,000 ÷ 3.8 = 0.11 unit

Burner:- 20,000BTUs-40,000BTUs x 1hour/day x 30 days ÷ 1,000,000 ÷ 3.8 = 0.16-0.32 unit
ELECTRIC/GAS METER STATUS TYPES
While different power companies are free to use different terms, given below is a basic list of the 10 meter "statuses" used by most countries (in which English is an/the official language):
01. TEMPORARY
[i.e. short-term projects, e.g. construction work, parties, rallies, etc.]
02. NEW
[i.e. permanent applicants who have only received permission yet.]
03. CONNECTED
[i.e. the supply is in session from the supply side.]
04. ACTIVE
[i.e. the consumption is in session from the consumer side.]
05. INACTIVE
[i.e. the consumer is not using the available supply at all.]
06. DISCONNECTED
[i.e. the supplier has cut off supply {only after completing all legal procedures}.]
07. FAULTY
[i.e. the manufacturer has produced a defective meter.]
08. VERIFYING
[i.e. legally & technically relevant experts must identify & correct the fault.]
09. DAMAGED
[i.e. the meter has malfunctioned due to age, etc.]
10. TESTING
[i.e. legally & technically relevant experts must identify & repair the damage.]
(N.B. A "Faulty" &/or "Damaged" meter was never the legal responsibility of the consumer {even if said meter were within the consumer's premises}, unless the power/gas company could prove consumer culpability, beyond a reasonable doubt. If said meter is officially located beyond consumer premises, the concept of consumer culpability stands permanently voided. Thus, a consumer is not obligated to give notice, cover expenses &/or pay any penalty, for a faulty/damaged meter.)
ELECTRIC METER "PHASES" VS "LOADS"
*The number of phases in a meter ("single" or "three") basically decide the number of electric supply options in a given household, i.e. a single-phase meter is like a single water pipeline supply, while a three-phase meter is like three separate water pipelines.
*The magnitude of the load has nothing to do with the number of phases in a given meter; the load is the maximum number of units that can be used by the household at any given moment.
