AN ELECTRICITY METER AND AN INSULATING CARRIER FOR A SENSOR COMPONENT OF AN ELECTRICITY METER

摘要

An electricity meter comprises a conductor (17, 18) having a substantially planar surface; and a carrier (24-1) for carrying a sensor component (20, 22) for enabling detection of current flowing in the conductor, wherein the carrier is spaced from the planar surface of the conductor by an arrangement of at least three spacing elements (42-1, 42-2, 42-3). The spacing elements may project from the carrier or from the substantially planar surface of the conductor.
