I suppose not many people will believe this,but...
The KWH meter at my house, which handles 220 Volts
and 200 Amperes had the glass enclosure FILL...FILL
with water. I assume it was condensation in the humid
climate on the Mississippi coast. I called the power
company, and was told that frequently happens, and that
I should ignore it....the almost pure rain water would
not conduct electricity.......I ignored it, for years.
No problems. (Maybe it slowed the turning of the meter
and saved me a dollar or two?)
