adopted for billing whenever the main meter fails. However, if both the
Licensee and the consumer agree to adopt the check meter system
readings for billing with or without correction, the settlement may be done
based on the check meter readings even though there is divergence.

electricity consumed by the consumer , the licensee may connect such metering
system, maximum demand indicator or other apparatus as he may think fit for the
purposes of ascertaining or regulating either the amount of energy supplied to the
consumer, or the number of hours during which the supply is given or the rate per
unit of time at which energy is supplied to the consumer, or any other quantity or
time connected with the supply to consumer:

CHAPTER-5
Standards for Meters for Energy Accounting and Audit

A part of the electrical energy sent out at generating stations is dissipated in the
transmission and distribution systems and the balance is supplied to the
consumers for utilization. Meters for Energy Accounting and Audit (EAA) provides
data comprising total energy generated, total energy supplied to consumers, total
energy losses and break-up of losses in various elements of the transmission and
distribution systems and the energy utilized in the auxiliaries of generating stations
and sub-stations.

The data from Energy audit is utilized for evolving improvements in power systems
and power system configurations for minimizing the losses. Loss reduction is very
important for reducing the cost of electricity and for conserving National resources
such as coal, oil and gas.

i) The entity installing the meters shall prepare detailed specifications
regarding the case, terminal block, test terminal block, connection diagram,
fixing arrangements, terminal cover, terminal screws, sealing arrangements
and vibration withstand capacity.

ii) The entities which install EAA Meters may stipulate additional standards,
and specifications if any required.

2. Testing of Meters:
Routine tests shall be carried out on each meter by the manufacturer and type
tests shall be conducted on random samples from each batch.

CEA: Regulations on Installation and Operation of Meters
`
41
The Meters for Energy accounting and Audit purpose shall be tested at the time of
commissioning and subsequently at least once in three years and whenever the
accuracy is suspected or whenever the readings are inconsistent with the readings
of other meters e.g. check meters, standby meters.

3. Instrument Transformers:
The instrument transformers to whose secondary the EAA Meters are connected
shall not be inferior to be that of associated meters. . It shall be ensured that the
total burden connected to any instrument transformer does not exceed the rated
burden of the instrument transformer. Also the instrument transformers shall be
tested at the time of commissioning of the meters and thereafter every five years.
The instrument transformers shall also be tested whenever the accuracy is
suspected. After normal life expectancy elapses the Instrument transformers shall
be tested for accuracy on yearly basis.

4. Sampling of Data:

Where it is too expensive or impractical to connect EAA meters at every point the
EEA meters shall be connected at sample locations and the complete data is
obtained by calculation or by sound statistical extrapolation.
