revenue-grade AC meter

English to French Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation

Adding an AC data input source: The auxiliary data terminals to the right of the gateway cable connection may be used when connecting the RS-485 output from the inverter or an external revenue-grade AC meter.

Il s'agit d'une installation de panneaux solaires. C'est surtout "revenue-grade" qui me pose probleme.
Merci d'avance.

Tony M Dec 27, 2010:

Don't know about the translation, but... ...what it's referring to is a meter of reliable quality / accuracy (certified, perhaps?) such that it can be used for charging customers — i.e. not just 'for information only'

Obviously, it's the 'compteur' kind of meter.

compteur homologué

If you know the name of the electrivity company you could add that - e.g. compteur EDF homologué

Peer comment(s):

neutral	Tony M : I think in principle you have the right idea, but I'm just a little bit concerned that the '-grade' may imply that it is of such a quality as to be capable of being 'homologué' — but might not actually be! / Love it, does the word exist? 31 mins
	I agree - then what about "compteur homologable"
