How to Read an Analog Electric Meter - Step-by-Step Guide #3823573 (License: Personal Use)

The image shows a classic four-dial analog electricity meter where each dial represents a place value: 10,000, 1,000, 100, and 10 kWh. Dials alternate direction (clockwise/counter-clockwise), and readings are taken from left to right, recording the number the pointer has just passed. In this case, the dials indicate 0 (10,000s), 9 (1,000s), 0 (100s), and 5 (10s), totaling 9,050 kWh.

Used in utility education pages, homeowner guides, or energy audit resources to teach users how to manually read older analog meters for billing verification or historical usage tracking.
