Nowadays, there is a growing awareness of the real consumption of electrical energy and its influence on the natural environment. One way to manage this consumption and reduce the cost of electricity is to use electricity consumption meters. However, what exactly is an electricity consumption meter and how does it work?

An electricity consumption meter is a device used to calculate the actual amount of electricity used in a home or business. These devices are connected to the electrical system and measure the amount of energy flowing through the electrical conductors, the wiring.

There are several types of electric meters, one of the most common being the electric energy meter. However, there are more sophisticated ones called network analyzers, which can measure the quality of the power supply.
