This European Standard applies to newly manufactured electromechanical watt-hour meters intended for residential, commercial and light industrial use, of class indexes A and B, for the measurement of alternating current electrical active energy in 50 Hz networks. It specifies particular requirements and type test methods.
It applies to electromechanical watt-hour meters for indoor and outdoor application, consisting of a measuring element and register(s) enclosed together in a meter case. It also applies to operation indicator(s) and test output(s).
If the meter has (a) measuring element(s) for more than one type of energy (multi-energy meters), or when other functional elements, like maximum demand indicators, electronic tariff registers, time switches, ripple control receivers, data communication interfaces etc. are enclosed in the meter case (multi-function meters) then this standard applies only for the active energy metering part.
This standard distinguishes between:
-
meters of class indexes A and B;
-
direct connected and transformer operated meters;
-
meters for use in networks equipped with or without earth fault neutralizers.
It does not apply to:
-
watt-hour meters where the voltage across the connection terminals exceeds 600 V (line-to-line voltage for meters for polyphase systems);
-
portable meters.
The safety aspect is covered by EN 62052‑31:2016.
Regarding acceptance tests see EN 62058‑11:2010 and EN 62058‑31:2010.
