ANSI C12

ANSI C12 refers to a set of standards developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for electric meters. These standards ensure that electric meters are accurate, reliable, and compatible across different devices and manufacturers. This is crucial for utilities and consumers as it guarantees fair billing based on actual energy consumption. The C12 standards cover aspects such as testing methods, meter design, and communication protocols, promoting efficiency and consistency in how electrical services are measured and delivered, ultimately benefiting both providers and users by ensuring transparency and reliability in energy usage.
