What happens here

After the meter is securely seated in the socket, the final step shown involves engaging the built-in locking mechanism, which the electrician refers to as the 'meter seal'. This secures the meter in place, preventing accidental dislodgement. While not shown in the video, a utility company would typically apply an official, tamper-proof seal (often a numbered plastic or metal tag) to prevent unauthorized removal or interference with the meter.

Goal: Lock the meter into its position in the socket.

Tools and materials
