i have a similar question on the use of electrical meters, from the
doe22vol3-topics.pdf file, page 331 (by pagen umber, or by the (page 333
of 387), this is the pertinent text:
"This capability is now extended by adding the ELEC-METER command that
allows you to define up to *25* meters to which electrical equipment can
be attached. In addition, the concept of "meter levels" is added; this
allows you to define sub- metering of usage and demand."
i note below the limit is listed as: ELEC-METER 100
where does this come from?
i have tried creating a building meter, created/assigned 44 submeters to
it, and then not had any of the meters over 25 report any electrical
consumption.
is the limit 100 building meters assigned to a utility and each meter
can then only have 25 sub-meters attached to it?
