With such a conventional configuration as described above, particularly in the case of a time-slot electric power charge system in which the power charges for midnight and daytime are measured from individual watt-hour meters, the power consumption for nighttime power and daytime power is reduced. Display the calibration separately. When a day / night wattmeter with a built-in timer function for separately measuring is connected, if the set time of a device with a timer function, such as an electric water heater with a timer in the circuit, shifts even slightly, it is weighed. There may be cases where the electricity charges do not reflect the actual usage. In particular, even if electricity was actually used during the midnight hours, it was expensive because the timer for controlling energization was out of time.If calculated using a daytime electricity charge system, it would be expensive without the user's awareness. There was a problem that it means that a large amount of electric power was used.
