Alternating current electricity meter Czechowice

The induction meter is the oldest (known already at the end of the 19th/beginning of the 20th century) and most widely used device to be used for the purposes of billing of alternating current power consumption. The operating principle of the device is based on the movement of a rotary disc in a magnetic field created by coils through which current flows. The readings can be read out on a drum counter. Nowadays, apart from induction meters, digital (electronic) meters are increasingly used, in which the flow of energy consumed by the customer generates impulses that are counted by the device. The main advantage of such meters is that they allow the remote reading of meters without the need for someone to physically inspect the meter. Just like induction meters, electronic meters can be used in single- or three-phase systems. Manufacturer: Spółka Akcyjna Przemysłu Elektrycznego Czechowice, 1935 Inv.
