This latest generation of revenue meters supports the Modbus protocol over the RS485 interface for remote auto meter reading, some units even have a built-in relay for remote power disconnection and restoration
Pass-through: The live wire of the load is directly connected into the meter, this type of connection is limited to 80 amperes.
External CT: For loads greater than 80 amperes, external CTs are used. The load is passed through the primary, while the secondary 5A output of the CT is connected to the meter.
