An electricity meter comprising an electrically-controlled electromechanical switch is disclosed. The electromechanical switch comprises a rotary actuator comprising a generally-cylindrical permanent magnet rotor having a central axis, a stator comprising a closed stator core and first and second opposite stator poles inwardly-projecting from the closed stator core towards the rotor and first and second coils wound around the first and second stator poles respectively. The electromechanical switch comprises a switch comprising at least one pair of first and second contacts wherein the first contact is movable. The electromechanical switch comprises mechanical linkage between the rotary actuator and the movable contact(s) configured such that rotation of the rotor from a first angular position to a second angular position causes the switch to be opened, and rotation from the second angular position to the first angular position causes the switch to be closed.

An ultrasonic meter (28) for measuring a flow-rate of a fluid is described. The ultrasonic meter (28) includes a flow conduit (5) for the fluid. The flow conduit (5) extends along a first axis (6) between a first opening (7) and a second opening (8). The ultrasonic meter (28) also includes one or more pairs of ultrasonic transducers (2, 3). Each pair of ultrasonic transducers (2, 3) is configured to define a corresponding beam path (9) intersecting the flow conduit (5) within a measurement region (12) of the flow conduit (5). The measurement region (12) spans between a first position (z1) and a second position (z2) spaced apart along the first axis (6). One or more portions of the measurement region (12) which are outside of any of the one or more beam paths (9) correspond to non-sampled volumes (12b). The ultrasonic meter (28) also includes one or more protrusions (34) extending along the first axis (6). At least part of each protrusion (34) is arranged to exclude fluid from at least part of one or more non-sampled volumes (12b).

Mutual inductance-type current sensing apparatus (1) is described which includes a mutual inductance current sensor (11) having a first transfer function. The apparatus (1) also includes a low-pass filter (12) which receives a signal from the current sensor (11). The low-pass filter (12) has a second transfer function configured to attenuate one or more harmonic components of the signal. The apparatus (1) also includes an analogue-to-digital converter (13) which receives and digitises a filtered signal output from the low-pass filter. The apparatus (1) also includes a controller (8) configured to process a digitised signal from the analogue-to-digital converter (13) using a digital processing chain configured to compensate for the frequency and phase responses of the first transfer function and the second transfer function.
