The electronic counter is a measuring instrument coupled with a circuit breaker that removes the current in case you exceed the maximum installed power.
This depends on the energy supply contract. When you open a new user, in fact you choose the maximum available power you have at the same time consuming energy.
Remember to carefully read the supply contracts for both new users and energy supplier exchanges. Often according to the installed power you pay accordingly, so choose with prudence.
