Claim One:
1. An electricity meter, comprising: housing means including a condutive path to a neutral reference; fixed socket component means supported upon said housing means and connectable with a monitored source of power; meter socket component means having electrical connectors removably connected with said fixed socket component means, having a circular base connector portion and a meter support portion extending therefrom; a solid-state meter circuit supported upon said meter support portion and electrically coupled with said meter socket component means electrical connectors for evaluating said source of power and providing electrical parameter outputs including a visual readout display forwardly disposed from said base connector portion; an electrically insulative, transparent cover having a generally cylindrical body portion extending from a circular rearward edge portion to a forwardly disposed face and positioned over said meter circuit to effect the enclosure thereof while providing visual access to said visual readout through said forwardly disposed face; electrically conductive ring connector means positioned over said cover circular rearward edge and rotatably engageable with said meter socket means for coupling said cover thereto; electrically conductive metallic barrier means positioned within said cover adjacent said generally cylindrical body portion for reflecting sunlight, and dissipating electromagnetic field and radio frequency phenomena; first electrical conducting means for electrically coupling said barrier means with said ring connector means; second electrical conducting means coupled with said meter socket component means and effecting electrical connection between said ring connector means and said housing means path to a neutral reference with said cover and ring connector portion and said meter socket component means connected with said fixed socket component means.
