Abstract
Configurable meter that can be configured according to a first configuration in which the meter is capable of being connected directly to a phase conductor (40), and according to a second configuration in which the meter is capable of being connected to the phase conductor (40) via a transformer (41), the meter including an upstream current port (2a, 2c, 2e) and a downstream current port (2b, 2d, 2f), a voltage port (3), a circuit breaker (7) that is closed by default, and an access opening through which a conductive element of an adaption module extends when the latter is mounted on the meter, such that, when the adaption module is mounted on the meter, the conductive element opens the circuit breaker while being connected to the voltage port, the meter then being in the second configuration, and when the adaption module (24) is not mounted on the meter, the meter is in the first configuration. Adaption module. System comprising a meter and an adaption module. Method for configuring a meter.
