do tell us after u pay up the penalty and come out from jail...LOL

Never said I tampered mine.
Even if I wanted to, I cannot!


Stupid condo design put meters of all units at one particular section of the floor.

not as easy as analog. analog orang xsekolah pn boleh buat

for aircond, its unwise to switch in on and off all the time. mone energy is needed to remove the heat from a place compared to energy needed to mantain the temperature. also, your aircond will consume more energy during hot days because the difference in temperature ( between the temp that you want and the ambiance temp) will be greater.


for fridge, it is unefficient if your fridge is mostly empty. also, try to minimize the amount u spend opening the fridge because heat will get into the fridge, energy is needed to remove it. remember, more energy is needed to remove heat compared to energy needed to maintain the temperature.

also, remember to cool down your food items before putting it into the fridge.

350W is rated maximum usage

I bought kill-a-watt from a LYN seller (costs RM 90) , so I decided to plug in on my main PC (as seen in spec) and my macbook pro

Main PC (650W PSU)
Plugged in n turned off (Wake On Lan Turned On) = 2W
Plugged in n turned off (wake on lan turned off/ERP) = 0.1W , nearly 0W
Windows is booting up = 250W
Idle in Desktop = 195W-220W
Playing Games/Rendering/Serious CPU usage = 300-380W
Standby = 4W

Laptop (85W adapter)
Plugged In and PC is sleep/turned off = 0.0W (Fully Charged)
Plugged in and PC is sleep/trned off = 25W (Charging)
Idle in Desktop = 30W (fully charged)
Idle in Desktop = 50-68W (charging)

There you go , those are some rough estimates. Will try to measure my LCD TV later to know about its power consumption as well. If you are really paranoid about how many Watts is your device is using and stuff , get kill-a-watt , pretty nifty device

I think the 5-hour max per day is an under-estimation.

Analog and no hanky panky.

Does a profile show I m alone? I don't no.

You are welcome. Report jgn tak report.

i am curious , why do you want to hack it ?

nice recommendation, i never know these comes in handy & useful just for rm90..

if u r using new digital meter the price is like that one my house set up is = to you plus 4 computer that run avg 8 h per day

my house bill is around 450+-

the only thing u can do to cut down e bill is replace the old less efficient electric appllicant like a/c and fridge to new with better energy saving

btw 0.21 is only for first 200kwh 0ver 200kwh the price will go higher and higher

Hack it? My bill already maintain very low. Why I still need to hack the meter? I don't do hacking. I believe in saving way.

can tumpang tered.?
bill usually rm80- rm100.
i have one laptop (16hrs on), one pc (20hrs on), one crt 29inch tv (20hrs on), astro decoder (20hrs on), two lights, NO aircond, one fridge (24hrs).

is that normal for rm80 - rm100? all numbers are approximate only.

Added on November 23, 2012, 2:00 pmoh and from the bill, the rates are different for so and so usage, then skyrocket to another so so usage. plus got extra charge somemore, the tenaga boleh guna wat i also dunno. around rm2.

At the high side.

sry lorr i no give FK to KH..i get B in PMR anyway

been there done that but this is a very dangerous decision...

kecik2 tanak jadi electrical engineer....dah besar bukak thread bodoh di /k

thats normal . Anyway my electricity usage went up ever since the switch to digital metre , it used to be RM 30-RM 50 less , now it seems to be counting little bit more.

My electrical bill only RM 40-50 per month with about 500L fidge(Inverter), 1 hp Air corn (Inverter) using only 6 hour daily with setting tempeture 25 celcius, all saving energy light, washing machine and other. Normal use after office hour and some time weekend go to my mother house. 4 people in the house. Digital TNB meter. so electricity usage always depend on our attitude when using electricity.

U just a bit brah, some people theres a difference of 100 to 300 bucks. Thats a whopping lot. Many claims this new meter is very sensitive. It sucks up like nobodies business.
