    摘要: An A-base utility meter cover assembly is described. The meter cover assembly is fabricated of a thermoplastic injection molding material, such as polycarbonate, and includes a base cover covered by a terminal cover. In one embodiment, the base cover includes a terminal block cavity for receiving a utility meter terminal block, and two locking tabs and a snap portion which engage openings through the terminal cover when the base cover and terminal cover are in an assembled configuration. In the assembled configuration, a dam and deflectors on the terminal cover are aligned with ribs on the base to form a continuous barrier against water flow into the terminal block cavity. The configuration of the locking tabs and snap portion also protect against tampering with meter electronics by preventing removal of the terminal cover.

    摘要: An electronic energy meter register enclosure which, in one embodiment, includes ribs and snaps configured to engage and snugly hold a printed circuit board in place is described. Openings in a meter frame align with openings in the enclosure, and threaded bolts securely engage the enclosure to the meter frame. The enclosure also includes, in the one embodiment, a snap which snaps on the rear bearing of the meter for facilitating holding the register enclosure in place. The enclosure further includes a shroud, and sidewalls of the shroud are configured to be closely positioned proximate the sides of the meter frame to reduce amount of ambient light allowed in the cavity of the shroud. The combination of the meter disc, the meter mechanical register, the meter frame and the shroud almost completely shields the electrical components of the register circuit board from harmful UV exposure that would create degradation and excessive heat build-up. The shroud further reduces the thermal temperature rise of the electrical components on the printed circuit board because the shroud functions as a solar shield.

    摘要: An electronic meter for measuring electricity includes a magnetic shield positioned adjacent each outermost toroidal coil of electrical current sensors to thereby resist tampering by a magnetic field applied from outside the meter housing. The magnetic shield has an arcuate cross-sectional shape corresponding to the outermost coil portion and has a predetermined arc length covering only a predetermined portion of the outermost coil portion. The shield preferably has a semicylindrical cross-section shape thereby covering only half the toroidal coil.

    摘要: An electric meter has reduced torque needed during relative rotation of a cover and base during a predetermined portion of rotation between initial and locked positions to thereby facilitate securing of the cover and base together at a predetermined seating torque. The torque reduction is preferably provided by a plurality of base ridges connected to the base mating surface adjacent respective clip receiving slots, and a plurality of cover projections connected to the cover mating surface. The cover projections slidably contact adjacent base ridges on the base mating surface to thereby reduce friction during the portion of rotation between the initial and locked positions. A gasket is preferably positioned between the base mating surface and the cover mating surface.

    摘要: An electric meter includes a housing, a switch positioned within an opening in the housing, a hinge pin having a first cross-sectional shape and being connected to the housing, and a switch cover having a passageway receiving the hinge pin therein and permitting pivotal movement of said switch cover between a closed position and an open position. The passageway has a second cross-sectional shape cooperating with the first cross-sectional shape of the hinge pin for locking the switch cover in the open position. The hinge pin preferably includes a generally cylindrical shaft and a ridge extending longitudinally thereon to define the first cross-sectional shape. Accordingly, the passageway of the switch cover is preferably defined by a generally cylindrical portion with a first longitudinally extending channel in communication therewith to define the second cross-sectional shape. The passageway may also include a second longitudinal channel cooperating with the ridge to lock the switch cover in the closed position.
