árammérk

Árammérő is the Hungarian word for an electricity meter. It is a device used to measure the amount of electrical energy consumed by a residence, business, or an electrically powered device. The unit of measurement is typically kilowatt-hours (kWh). Árammérők are essential for billing purposes, allowing utility companies to charge customers for the electricity they use. There are various types of árammérők, including mechanical (electromechanical) meters and digital (electronic) meters. Mechanical meters use a spinning disc to indicate energy consumption, while digital meters display the consumption on an electronic screen. Modern digital meters often have advanced features such as remote reading capabilities, power outage detection, and the ability to measure reactive power. The installation and maintenance of árammérők are usually the responsibility of the electricity provider. Regular calibration is necessary to ensure accuracy. In many countries, including Hungary, the árammérő is a legally mandated device for any connection to the electrical grid.
