Call the Electric Company to observe this. They probably will want to replace the meter. On the other hand I can't think of an easier way to lower your electric bill. But dangerous, I wouldn't think so.

Where the circuit breakers are located?

If your circuit breakers are in the garage, they would be in a electrical panel (a metal box mounted on a (usually) outside wall, with the electric meter on the outside. The circuit breakers can be either just below the meter on the outside on opposite it inside the garage. It would usually be very close to where the electric connection to the house is. The electrical panel and breakers are not necessarily in the garage.


What happens if you install a regulator on a gas meter backwards?

If a regulator is installed backwards on a gas meter, it can lead to incorrect pressure regulation, potential damage to the regulator, and safety hazards. It is important to ensure that regulators are installed correctly according to the manufacturer's guidelines to maintain proper functionality and safety. If in doubt, consult a professional technician to correct the installation.


Can a 100 amp main have 2 50 amp breakers?

Yes.Additional InformationBreakers and fuses protect the wires to prevent fire. The 100 Amp breaker in the meter base (main) protects the wire from the meter base to the breaker panel. The 50 Amp breaker in the breaker panel protects the wire from the breaker panel to the outlet. Sometimes the 100 amp main breaker is located in the panel.If you are asking "Can you use two 50 amp breakers for the main breakers with a 100 amp service, then yes you can. The National Electrical Code allows you to use up to 6 breakers as the main overcurrent protection.


What should you do if your electricity is out?

First check with other people in nearby homes to find out if there is a general power outage. If there is, call the power company to ask about it. If everyone else has power, SAFELY look in your main service panel, where the meter is, to check if any of the breakers or fuses are tripped or have blown. If so, turn breakers back on or replace fuses. If they still trip CALL AN ELECTRICIAN.


How do you wire a 100 amp breaker box and a 100 amp safety switch right from the power meter?

Installing a breaker box to the mains is a very dangerous proposition and should only be done by someone who knows what they are doing. It involved removing the meter so that the power is disconnected on the house side, Then the proper size and type of cable is run from the meter to the switch and then to the panel. 3 AWG copper or 2 AWG aluminum is required. The installation would also depend if this were a new additional panel or replacement panel.

What makes a meter run backwards?

A meter runs backwards when the direction of the electric flow in the circuit is reversed, causing the meter to register a negative reading. This can occur due to incorrect wiring, a malfunction in the meter itself, or when tampering is involved. Additionally, in some cases, a significant electrical load on the system can create conditions where the meter appears to run backwards.


If you reverse the flow on a water meter will it turn the meter backwards?

Yes, a water meter will run backwards. Running your meter backwards is stealing and could result in your service being diconnected and or a fine. Modern meters that are read via radio signals are sofisticated electronic instruments and will report leaks and reverse flows when read. So if your meter is a radio read type you had better not mess with it.
