Thanks.

Hi,

There is no limitation for installing multiple register against a device.

But the general is five register per meter.

Does this general rule of 5 per meter apply to gas and elec?

This "general" rule is purely personal!

There is no such a recommendation. Even more, in Belgium high voltage elec meters have up to 12 registers!

I don't really understand the point of your question. The registers on a device should reflect the actual device.

If you're considering using dummies, use multiple devices instead of one device with multiple registers for more flexibility.

Hi Kelvin,

You are right it depends on the market scenario.

Here in Eastern Australian market its 5.

Hi,

The Number of active registers on a device reflects the tariff plan applied to the customer. e.g if yuo want to charge the customer for energy cosumtion and demand , then u will have two registers on it .

Hi,

For a example in Brazil, we use 34 registers per meter in big clients with medium and high voltages.

The numbers of registers depents of the scenarium.
