Arrangement for connecting a utility meter to meter base using current blades

摘要

An arrangement for electrically connecting an electrical utility revenue meter to a meter base includes at least two current blades that have a width that is less than the standard predefined current blade width. The meter base has one of first and second vertical alignment mechanisms, said first and second vertical alignment mechanisms cooperating with electrical utility revenue meters having current blades of a standard predefined width for effecting proper registration of the electrical utility meter with respect to the meter base. The arrangement of the present invention includes at least first, second, third and fourth current blades. At least two current blades each have a first edge aligned in registration with the first vertical alignment mechanism, and at least two current blades each have a second edge aligned in registration with the second vertical alignment mechanism.
