Objective:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

To understand how an electricity bill is calculated<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outcome:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Students will become aware of the variable electricity tariff structure designed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requirements:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Monthly\/bi-monthly electricity bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prerequisites:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

A conceptual knowledge of electrical energy generation and transfer processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Procedure:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: <\/em><\/strong>Note the connected load (kW) mentioned on the front page of the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: <\/em><\/strong>Note the current month\u2019s consumption (determined by subtracting the electricity meter reading of the present month from previous reading).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: <\/em><\/strong>Go through the variable tariff structure on the back of the bill, and determine the tariff category based on current month\u2019s consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: <\/em><\/strong>Calculate total tariff charges (mentioned in the tariff structure) based on the respective tariff category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/em><\/strong> Calculate the final billing amount by adding electricity tax and duty, mentioned on the back side of the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6: <\/em><\/strong>Tally each of the tariff charges with the detailed break-up of billing charges (provided at the back of the bill) and the monthly billing amount. All values should match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sample calculations (for a monthly bill):<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversion Factor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 kWh = 1 unit of electricity <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/em><\/strong> Connected Load (P) = 3.5 kW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/em><\/strong> Monthly Consumption (E) = 164 kWh<\/p>\n\n\n\n
