I would like to buy this meter, EBay I have failed to get the contact of the seller for a question. I want to know whether that meter marked 60Hz will work on our 50Hz system in Uganda . Thanks for all the effort for an answer . Regards, Frank Frank, I wrote to mspipeandsupply, who is the seller. Wait a few days to see if they reply. Phaed Frank, I got this message from mspipeandsupply: “Please check with your local utility company or a licensed electrician.” I also wrote to the Elster company itself via the address on their website Elster to ask about the product. I’ll let you know what I hear. Phaed Frank, I received a reply from Elster. They say that particular meter will not work on your system because it’s a 3 wire system whereas Uganda uses 2 wire, 50 Hz. They gave an address for their Uganda distributor that you can contact: samuel@_ _ _ Phaed
