How about turning it off, swapping the leads and then turning it back on again?

Is there any safety-mechanism in the design to prevent it running in reverse direction?.

If it is digital,what will happen?.

How about hiring an engineer to do the work you can't do.

You calculate the wrong value, discover the problem, fix the problem and then get the right value.

It is better and easier to fix the problem than to try and scale the error to approximate the correct value (which there is no guarantee you can actually do if the three phase loads are unbalanced). Also, you don't get in trouble with the power company due to incorrect billing.
