The accuracy of a meter is tested by drawing calibration curves showing the percentage departure from absolute accuracy in its reading for various decimal fractions of full load.
This current is small, however, and the meter is not operated until a much larger current is passed through it.

It can be constructed to be either an amperehour meter or a watt-hour meter, but is usually the latter.
Currents from the ten-thousandth of an ampere to ten thousand amperes, electrical pressures from a minute fraction of a volt to 100,000 volts, come within the range of his instruments, while the private consumer of electric energy is provided with a meter recording Board of Trade units.
The meter is made up also in a form suitable for use with two or three fixed electric currents.
The principle of the meter is to make the breaking and driving action so strong that the friction of the train becomes immaterial in comparison.

The subscriber's meter is joined in multiple with the cut-off relay, and whenever a peg is connected to the circuit a current flows through the meter.
Another form of motor meter which is much used is that of Elihu Thomson.

The objection to the insanitary effect of the meter-payment system has, in some places, been sought to be removed by providing a fixed quantity of water, assumed to be sufficient, as the supply for a fixed minimum payment, and by using the meter records simply for the purpose of determining what additional payment, if any, becomes due from the water tenant.
Since the revenue-earning power of a supply station depends entirely upon its meters, inaccuracy in meter record is a serious matter.
A more modern type of electrolytic meter is that due to C. O.
