Zusammenfassung:An electrical energy consumption meter for measuring electrical energy consumption from multiple consumer individual transmission lines that are connected to one power supply system having a plurality of transmission line conductors carrying alternating current. The meter includes a voltage pickup connected to one transmission line for measuring voltage between conductors. Multiple current factor pickups are respectively connected to each individual customer transmission line for measuring a factor of the electrical current flowing in each individual customer transmission line. A computer within the meter is connected to all of the pickups for computing the power being consumed by each of the multiple customers through each individual customer transmission thereby providing multiple power consumption readings with a single meter.
