тип счетчика
термин, используемый для определения совокупности конкретной конструкции счетчика, имеющей:
а) сходные метрологические характеристики;
б) конструктивное подобие элементов, определяющих эти характеристики.
Тип может иметь несколько значений номинального тока и номинального напряжения.
Счетчики обозначаются изготовителем одной или большим числом групп букв или цифр, или комбинацией букв и цифр. Каждый тип имеет только одно обозначение.
Примечание - Данный тип представляют один или несколько образцов счетчиков, предназначенных для проведения испытаний для целей утверждения типа, характеристики которых (номинальные токи и номинальные напряжения) соответствуют значениям, указанным изготовителем.

meter type
particular design of meter, manufactured by one manufacturer, having:
a) similar metrological properties;
b) the same uniform construction of parts determining these properties;
c) the same ratio of the maximum current to the reference current
NOTE 1 – The type may have several values of reference current and reference voltage.
NOTE 2 – Meters are designated by the manufacturer by one or more groups of letters or numbers, or a combination of letters and numbers. Each type has one designation only.
NOTE 3 – The type is represented by the sample meter(s) intended for the type tests and whose characteristics (reference current and reference voltage) are chosen from the values given in the tables proposed by the manufacturer.

type
ensemble des compteurs fabriqués par un même constructeur et ayant:
a) des qualités métrologiques similaires;
b) l’uniformité constructive des constituants déterminant ces qualités;
c) un même rapport entre courant maximal et courant de référence
NOTE 1 – Le type peut comporter différentes valeurs de courant de référence et de tension de référence.
NOTE 2 – Les compteurs sont désignés par le constructeur, par une ou plusieurs associations soit de lettres, soit de chiffres. A chaque type correspond une seule désignation.
NOTE 3 – Le type est représenté par le ou les compteurs échantillons destinés aux essais de type et dont les caractéristiques (courant de référence et tension de référence) sont choisies parmi celles figurant dans les tableaux proposés par le constructeur.
