Meter Testing for Accuracy

Meter Testing for Accuracy Electric watt-hour meters are highly accurate measuring devices. Jackson Electric Cooperative follows a routine plan of testing meters for accuracy. We follow WI PSC Ruling 113 regarding accuracy tolerances. Each meter on our system is tested within an eight-year period. Records of meter tests are kept for all meters currently in use.

Occasionally, an inaccurate meter is found. Often, its inaccuracy is due to meter tampering. Meter tampering is a crime and will not be tolerated!
