BOX AND MOUNTING AND CONNECTING MEANS FOR EXTREMELY HEAVY DUTY WATT-HOUR METERS

摘要

A watt-hour meter has in its base the circular core of a current transformer, wound with the secondary coil, this coil being connected to the current coil of the meter driving unit. The heavy load-carrying conductors extending through this core as its primary winding are carried by the base and are in the form of oppositely facing "U" bars. A special meter box and terminal block facilitates the connecting of this combination in the circuit being measured. Alternatively it may be mounted at a different position, not in the circuit, in which case closing the cover causes the display of words indicating that it is not in service. Shiftable connection links reverse voltage connections in case the supply and load conductors are interchanged from the more usual arrangement, and also facilitate testing. The service connectors are especially suited for very heavy service conductors. Calibration is of the total self-contained meter, i.e. with current transformer as a part thereof.
