Improved electric utility meter with an integrated structure (50) uses a minimum number of parts without requiring the use of screws, clips or other additional parts that make meter disassembly a tedious procedure. Meter casi ng includes a baseplate (64), at least two inner covers (52, 54) for housing an d protecting electronic components of electric utility meter, an outer cover (62), and pluralities of projections extending from the covers for interconnection of casing components and stabilization of the integrated casing structure. The various electronic components of the meter includes electronic circuit boards (56) and current transformers (60). Casing module is secured and stabilized by interconnecting the outer cover (62) with other inner covers (52, 54), thus safeguarding against possible snap deflection. T he additional use of cantilever springs and containment ribs (66) helps to ensu re that the inner casing components will not move within the overall casing structure.
