These questions came up through some discussion on another technically/ scientifically unrelated news group ................... ?
1) What happens if a DC current** flows through a domestic/residence supply meter?2) Would it be any different if the meter was the older 'spinning disc' type or the more modern 'digital' display type?

1) Meter might register impulses of current in one direction only? Also since current flow would be only during a half cycle only half the energy would be transferred? AC motors would not work and anything with a transformer would output a weird waveform of half voltage or less?2) Unknown?
PS. ** Hard to understand in what context the question was based! Gather that in fact the current 'might' be a 'mixture' of domestic AC and some DC (e.g. welding, without an interposing transformer ???). So that an AC current could have a DC bias in one direction or other????? All very puzzling!
