Like a bad penny, this urban legend just keeps coming back.
Since a kWh meter, whether mechanical or electronic, measures only real
power, the addition of a capacitor- which adds capacitive reactance- cannot
affect real power. A residential customer will never see a reduction in the
amount of

Yes, I agree. However, the post that I made (and started all of this again)
didn't make claim as to whether the capacitor trick worked or didn't work.
I feel that it has no impact, unless you are being billed for
And if the capacitor trick did work, would this not be theft?

Larry,
No, it would not. As has already been noted, adding capacitance to the line
does not affect kWh, which is the energy that does work and which you pay
for. Indeed, if every customer on a grid were to achieve and maintain a
unity PF, the utility would benefit by being able to defer the
Hello to the group. I am in need of
some help working on a GE Mastrll
Base/Repeater unit in the Yakima,
WA area. If you live in or know of
some one please contact me off the
list. I am looking for some one who
knows this unit (I have no paper work
on Mastrll) who can do some wiring
for me.
The answer is simple. The electric company refuses to provide service to that
location. Or, installs a tamperproof cover over the meter, relocates the meter
up on the pole, or installs a new electronic meter. They can also go by
historical use data for that property and sue the customer for it.
Correct. That was the intended route should it happen again with said customer
- terminate service. Period. After the electric incident, the water was already
being estimated in favor of the utility because that account was showing as a
stopped meter. Later discovered to be a tampered meter.
Bill,
A customer who causes physical (read, easily detected by the meter reader)
damage to a meter is quite possibly deranged. A tamperproof cover will not
deter some really creative power thieves who cut into the service conduit
upstream of the meter and tap into the wires- often to feed a very

I've sat back and observed this thread as I have over 32 years in the electric
utility industry. All electric utilities are concerned about electricity theft
from a revenue AND safety standpoint. Who is and isn't prosecuted is another
matter. It depends upon the local statutes. Some utilities

Is there a refreshed URL for the site regarding Maxtrac conversions to 222 MHz?
I thought I surfed to the site a few weeks ago but didn't bookmark it.
