can low voltage cause your electric bill to be higher?

Answer 1

Depends on how much is being used (how many amps) ... Volts X Amps = Watts

Answer 2

From Wikipedia
Operation of a meter
The electromechanical induction meter operates by counting the revolutions of a metallic disc which is made to rotate at a speed proportional to the power. The number of revolutions is thus proportional to the energy usage. The metallic disc is acted upon by three magnetic fields, one proportional to the voltage, another to the current and a third supplied by a permanent magnet and constant. One of the varying fields induces currents into the metallic disc which are then acted upon by the other varying field to produce a torque. This results in the torque being proportional to the product of the current and voltage, that is power. As the metallic disc rotates through the permanent magnetic field, eddy currents are again produced which disspate energy (since the disc has some resistance) and act to slow the rotation. This drag is proportional to the rotation speed. The equilibrium between the applied torque and the drag results in a speed proportional to the power.

The amount of energy represented by one revolution of the disc is denoted by the symbol Kh which is given in units of watt-hours per revolution. The value 7.2 is commonly seen. Using the value of Kh, one can determine their power consumption at any given time by timing the disc with a stopwatch. If the time in seconds taken by the disc to complete one revolution is t, then the power in watts is P = 3600 * Kh / t. For example, if Kh = 7.2, as above, and one revolution took place in 14.4 seconds, the power is 1800 Watts. This method can be used to determine the power consumption of household devices by switching them on one by one. [1]

Because the meter is controled by both the current and voltage the answer to your question is no.

If you have several motors running on this type of meter you can however have a meter reading that is less because the load is inductive and won't be properly measured. For cases such as industrial facilities power companies will use a different type of measuring device to get a more accurate measurement. This benefits both them and you so you know more accurately how much electricity you are using.

Answer 3

No.

High temperature can cause your electrical bill to go higher.

If the device is running hot or running in a very warm humid envrionment, electrical bill will be higher.

Answer 4

Lower voltage means many devices work in reduced power therefore also the electric bill is reduced.

Answer 5

Any power you draw from the electric company will cost you. if that's a 110 volt transformer converting to 24 volts then yes.

Answer 6

No low voltage = low amperage and less power drain... Nope not really.
