Current through May 31, 2024
(a) A meter must
				consist of materials, design, and construction to assure its accuracy under
				normal service conditions.
(b) The
				cover of a meter must be strong enough to withstand ordinary usage. It must be
				dustproof and designed so that access to the interior requires the destruction
				of a seal.
(c) The ratio of the
				rated load torque to the friction at the speed corresponding to the rated load
				must be high, to minimize the possibility of a change in the accuracy of the
				meter due to friction.
(d) A meter
				must be designed so that the cover and terminal chamber can be securely sealed.
				Sealing arrangements must be designed so that authorized personnel may have
				convenient access to the meter for tests, adjustments, and maintenance. A
				security seal must be affixed to a meter in commercial use.
(e) The terminals of a meter must be arranged
				to minimize the possibility of short circuits in removing or replacing the
				cover, making connections, and adjusting the meter.
(f) A meter must easily allow the
				determination of the number of kilowatt hours registered by the meter. If the
				reading of a meter requires the use of a constant to calculate the kilowatt
				hours consumed, the proper constant to be applied must be prominently marked on
				the face of the meter.
