Metering in a power distribution system is essential for accurate measurement of electrical energy consumed by different categories of consumers. The techniques used for Low Tension (LT) and High Tension (HT) consumers differ mainly due to voltage level, load magnitude, and system configuration. For LT consumers, who typically operate at 230 V (single-phase) or 415 V (three-phase), direct metering is generally used. In single-phase LT connections, energy meters are directly connected in series with the phase and neutral conductors. The meter measures voltage and current internally and calculates energy consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh). In three-phase LT systems, either three-element or two-element energy
