Energy meters for households has a fuse that is only accessible for the energy supplier. I dont mean the fuse that is in the electrical board inside the house. So how much is the current limit of the fuse in an average household?s it related to the power a household has contracts with the electricity supplier? I know it depends on the country and distribution company, but if someone can give some numbers it would be highly appreciated.
 
in the UK we generally have a 100A or a 80A supply fuse at the intake. meters are not fused.
 
In mainland Europe where domestic 3-phase supplies are more common, they may be 25A-63A

Rubron it looks to me like the power company is using CT’s to monitor your power usage not the actual amperage of you panel. That’s why the numbers are so low
 
DITTO - In Australia the standard house service fuse is standard 80A.
you can go to 100A if required.
Beyond 100A require an upgraded line.
