Current meter and force. How is the strength different from ordinary 220V?

Question

Hello
My question is, if there is power at home, does it have 2 counters?
One for regular and the other for strength?
Can anyone briefly explain to me what is the difference between the power and the usual 220V?
And if there is a second numerator specifically for strength, why?

If it says 230V, it is probably single-phase. Andrew

the force is 3 wires of 230V and the fourth neutral wire. 230V is one 230V + zero. On the 3-phase meter it writes 3x230V. A 3x230V = 400V Because the current from the same generator is phase shifted by 120 degrees

Hello. If there is force, one numerator is also used, but a different one. The force is 3 phases (4 or 5 wires), In a 1 phase installation 2 or 3 wires. Andrew

I have a counter from 1973 with a metal circle in the center. And how to check if this power is attached to it?

andy127 · Answer

Take a photo. You can also search by type for what the meter is. Andrew

FLESZ makes everything clear that you cannot see I will write what is written on it AEG FORM A41G NR (multiple digits) 1973 230 V 10 (40) A 50 Hz 600U / kWh

Hello. Specify the question what you want to do. Nowadays, one 3-phase meter is usually used in homes. In the past, 230V was often pulled to the house and power was pulled to farm buildings, and a separate power meter was installed there.

I want to know if the counter I have in my cupboard is the only one I have. I am renting an apartment and I am a little surprised that nobody told me about the second meter (if any) I will immediately remove the plug cover and see if these wires (what is the force) go to the meter

Dear author, you either take pictures and describe again exactly what is going on or the end of the topic and the basket. There are no fairies in the forum.

prosiak22 · Answer

look, everyone understood and you did not. You do not read carefully the flash is so flashing that I will not be able to take a normal photo. I wrote what is on the meter. I took the cover off and the meter does not come out with such 3 VERY thick cables only from the wall. A few cables to the traffic jams come out of the meter. So there has to be a second numerator somewhere. Then I guess no one will help me where these CABLES are coming from, I will have to ask the owner of the apartment. Thanks for the answers
