2. Ammeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammeter

   In much the same way as the analogue ammeter formed the basis for a wide variety of derived meters, including voltmeters, the basic mechanism for a digital meter is a digital voltmeter mechanism, and other types of meter are built around this. Digital ammeter designs use a shunt resistor to produce a calibrated voltage proportional to the ...

   Capacitance meter: Measures the capacitance component Current clamp: Measures current without physical connection Curve tracer: Applies swept signals to a device and allows display of the response Cos Phi Meter: Measures the power factor Distortionmeter: Measures the distortion added to a circuit Electricity meter: Measures the amount of energy ...

4. Multimeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

   Meters with inadequate or unsafe fusing were not uncommon; this situation has led to the creation of the IEC61010 categories to rate the safety and robustness of meters. Digital meters are rated into four categories based on their intended application, as set forth by IEC 61010-1 [32] and echoed by country and regional standards groups such as ...

5. Smart meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_meter

   The term smart meter often refers to an electricity meter, but it also may mean a device measuring natural gas, water or district heating consumption. [1] [2] More generally, a smart meter is an electronic device that records information such as consumption of electric energy, voltage levels, current, and power factor.

6. Electricity meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_meter

   An electricity meter, electric meter, electrical meter, energy meter, or kilowatt-hour meter is a device that measures the amount of electric energy consumed by a residence, a business, or an electrically powered device over a time interval. Electric utilities use electric meters installed at customers' premises for billing and monitoring purposes.

7. Galvanometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanometer

   Probably the largest use of galvanometers was of the D'Arsonval/Weston type used in analog meters in electronic equipment. Since the 1980s, galvanometer-type analog meter movements have been displaced by analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) for many uses. A digital panel meter (DPM) contains an ADC and numeric display.
