Abstract :
Electricity meter testing bench is used to calculate the accuracy of energy meters. It is mostly used by the power transmission and distribution companies of a country. Measuring accuracy of energy meter is important for accurate billing. In this paper, a complete design of a meter testing bench is illustrated. A prototype of the design is developed and tested for commercial use.
