UNIVERSAL WATTHOUR METER SOCKET/ADAPTER FOR FIELD TESTING

摘要

A universal meter socket for portable test equipment has low insertion and extraction forces. The universal meter socket is durable and light in weight, providing a long service life. The universal meter socket contains field-cleanable terminals with replaceable wear components. The universal meter socket also optimizes short current paths for the high current section of the meter, further reducing equipment weight by reducing wire weight and volt-ampere (hereinafter sometimes VA) drive requirements for test equipment. The universal meter socket complies with ANSI C12.7 -2005 REQUIREMENTS FOR WATTHOUR METER SOCKETS. The universal meter socket is generally intended for use with electricity meters that comply with ANSI C12 requirements.
