What are the different types of single phase meters?

In: Home Electricity, Electrical Engineering, Electrical Troubleshooting [Edit categories]

Answer:

To my knowledge, there are only two main types, analog and digital. Analog is the old style with four or five round counter with the big horizontal dial that spins. It's electromechanical. Most meters being made now are digital and use C.T.s to measure current usage and display the reading with an L.E.D. readout.
