| How do you tell what the multiplier is on an electrical meter? We have 2 that look identical, but they say the one has a highter multiplier, where is there something that tells me the multiplier? |

| Current multiplier? I should be on the multiplier. Scale setting? What scale or range button is pushed, or what is the dial setting on the selector switch. Some newer meters are auto-ranging. |

| I think he is asking about the multiplier on his house meter. |

| I agree with Don... but it was a little ambiguous. If this is a watt-hour meter, the multiplier should be labeled on the face of the meter, and also match that indicated on the electric bill. I use to have that type of meter in an old house myself - the multiplier was some sort of weird number like 4.7 to get the actual usage. |

| Is this the information you were seeking? It is essentially of no interest to most consumers. |
