Trivector Meter part 1

Landis & Gyr Trivector meter, Made in the U.K.
Swiss origin.
This meter measures kWh, kVAh and kVARh.
Full electromechanical design.
The meter is CT operated at 5 Ampères per phase and had a multiplier of 640.
The primary busbars were 3200 Ampères.
The Trivector meter was still in service in 1995 when it was replaced by solid state T.O.U. metering.

@Ronnocbot What type of meter do you have ? 1 phase, 3 phase, CT ?

To get a meter to spin a load has to be applied, heater, or phantom load with a transformer.

I happen to have an electric meter. how do you get yours to to spin without a load or using a lot of power if it is even possible.

Thanks

Correct, a fine piece of electromechanical machinery compared with all the plastic rubbish now these days.

So this is how demand metering was done in the old days; look at how far we've come.
