Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the electric energy meter to be tested is a semi-finished product, which includes a part of a smooth shell and a part of an exposed plug-in terminal.
