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.
