The electrical power that you use from the utility company has to be metered. This is done with a plug in watt meter. The meter socket is what holds the electrical watt meter. It is this meter that the meter reader reads to give you your monthly billing for the electricity that you used.

How do you test a standard house light socket with a voltage meter?
Carefully! Set your voltage meter to the nearest setting above 120 volt AC. Turn the power on to the socket. Take the lead marked "common" on your meter and touch it to the shell of the socket, that's the metal circular part which the lamp screws into. At the same time take the other "positive" meter lead and touch the tip of it to the brass electrode in the center top of the socket. You should read 110-120 volts. Be REAL careful no to cross your two meter leads or you'll create a dead short and it'll blow up in your face! Wear safety glasses when doing this.
What is difference between meter socket adapter and panel surge arrester?
A meter socket adapter is used when solar energy is required to be fed back to the grid from a home owners solar array system. The adapter is on the line side of the service between the utility meter and the utility meter base. A meter base surge protector is a device to stop surging from lightning strikesfrom the grid from entering your home. This device is also connected to the line side of the service between your utility meter and the utility meter base.

Why is the shoulder socket deeper than the hip socket?
The shoulder socket is deeper than the hip socket because the shoulder joint sacrifices stability for mobility. This design allows for a greater range of motion at the expense of stability. In contrast, the hip joint is designed for weight-bearing and stability, so it has a shallower socket to provide better support for the body.

If all your turn signals work except one and you replaced the bulb and all fuses what do you do next?
With a volt meter check to see if you have power to that socket. Check at the wire not the socket. If you find you have power, either the socket is corroded or broken. Also check the ground connection at that socket.
How do you install a 600 amp meter socket?
Most municipalities and power companies require that meter bases be installed by licensed electricians.Do not attempt to install the meter base yourself. There are far more realistic ways of saving a few dollars.
How do you measure voltage directly from the wall outlet?
"With a volt meter." That last answer could be improved a bit as measured by my dolt meter. One uses a volt meter to measure a 220 outlet by setting it to 'Voltage' or a symbol that looks like a 'V' with a tilde over or beside it for AC. Set the voltage range to 200 or 600 or something close. Put one lead in a socket on the volt meter that probably says 'COM', and put the other in the 'V' socket on the meter. You should read zeroes whether the leads are touching or not. There will be (probably) 3 or 4 outlet socket holes. If 3, two will look slanted and the third will either be straight or have an 'L' shape to it. The L or straight socket is your ground/common socket. The two slanted sockets are your hot sockets. Putting a lead in each of the slanted sockets (being careful to hold the leads by the non-metalic part) should yield your reading, about 220-240.
Why don't the left side running lights work on my 2000 Cherokee sport?
If the right side lights are working and all left side lights are out, its as simple as this: Electricity is not reaching the bulbs. Use a volt meter (with the lights on) and check a bulb socket. if there's around 12 volts registering on the meter, then you have power to the light socket and the bulb(s) is/are bad. If there is no power to the socket, that sucks because now you have a wiring issue to chase down. This should be a relatively simple repair as long as u have a volt meter.
Why a volt meter reads around 20VA on a socket when the switch is off that makes some fluorescent lamps in the house to flash?
