  • Pierre FERRAND: Engineer from École Nationale Supérieure d'Électricité et de Mécanique (ENSEM)

 INTRODUCTION

Article update by Robert Mercier, published in 1992 in the present treatise.

The article AC meters is the subject of several sections:

  • General [D 4 952] ;

  • Electromechanical meters ;

  • Electronic meters .

Although there are still only a few fields of application for direct-current meters, alternating-current meters are by far the most widespread and well-known, so that when we talk about electricity meters, everyone spontaneously thinks of alternating-current meters. This article takes a detailed look at this vast field, which is now divided into electromechanical and electronic meters.
