Electrical Meter

An electrical meter is a device that measures the consumption of electricity.

For our requirements a meter is a simple device with a set of points. No componentry is required.

All meters (flow, electrical, thermal) are similar in function, but have different point sets and relationship restrictions, thus they have been given different shape definitions with no shared validators. This may change in future as we understand requirements further.

Variations

• AC Meter
• DC Meter

Composition

An electrical meter requires no parts to be valid.

Relationships

Core

Nil.

An electrical meter does not need any relationships to be considered valid.

AC Electrical Meter & DC Electrical Meter

To get value out of a meter it is expected that it has the following relationships:

1. The meter meters some (equipment) entity (i.e. AHU, Chiller, etc.)
   or
   The meter has a submeter

2. The meter is a submeter of another meter
   or
   The meter is part of a switch:InvoiceStream. See here for more info.
