    • Watt hour constant
    • The value of 1 revolution of the meter disk, Expressed in watt hours.
  2. Rr
    • Register Ratio
    • The number of turns of the 1st gear of the register to cause the 1st (or right hand) dial pointer to complete 1 full revolution which = 10,000 watt hours or 10kwhrs.
  3. Rg
    • Gear Ratio
    • The number of turns of the meter disk to cause the 1st (or right hand) dial pointer to complete 1 full revolution = 10,000 watt hrs or 10kwhrs.
  4. Rs
    • Reduction at Shaft
    • The ratio between the number of teeth on the 1st gear of the register to the number of entries on the disk shaft.
  5. Kr
    • Register Constant or Multiplier
    • Multiplier of the register, due to gearing.
