Energy Meters installed in the consumers premises need to be tested since if more units are calculated with lessamount of power consumed, the user in loss. At the same time, if fewer units are calculated with more amount of powerconsumed, the electricity boards are at loss. This results in an increasing demand on the means to test the energy meterscorrectly with adequate frequency and ease to ensure the correctness of the measurement of the meter. Field-testing ofmeters will therefore increasingly become necessary. Up till now, meters were tested and calibrated by injecting power froma fairly stabilized stationary source into the device under test with a reference meter connected in the circuit. The accuracyof the test was determined by the accuracy of reference meter, which is referable to the national standard, and not by thepower source.
