Mine measures 4 Wh/lap. Currently connected to my heat pump, it completes one revolution in 10 seconds, which corresponds to a power of 1440 W.
It is the linky which gives the apparent power. The power can be measured by monitoring the flashing of the front LED which corresponds to one Wh per flash.You're sure ?Leo Maximus wrote:The Linky has changed the game since it takes into account the power factor.It doesn't matter, for the same power, there is less current flowing, it doesn't change anything for the customer. With ENRs, the voltage varies all the time.A note: The sector is 230 volts today. The old meters are in 220.VMC, DHW, heating (circulator), infrared detectors ... there are still consumers not connected to sockets.And it was still spinning a bit even though all the plugs had been unplugged, so there were electrical leaks even though the installation was new.
Exactly, I meant that the Linky takes into account the power factor by rectifying it to 1. So 1kVA = 1kWh. It gives the apparent power well. Suddenly, I thought that my consumption in kWh was going to increase with the Linky but no, it has dropped significantly.
There are many electrical leaks in my house, ALL appliances unplugged, the blue meter disk was spinning very slowly but it was spinning. This low consumption is added to that of the devices that I leave on standby. At the time of the blue meter, the differential circuit breaker (I specify) was triggered quite often, not at all now with the Linky. Why ? Mystery. I'm not complaining at all about the Linky, it never tripped.
