How To Choose A Single-Phase Smart Energy Meter？

With the popularization of the domestic one-meter-one-meter policy and the emergence of smart meters with multiple functions such as prepayment, accurate metering, data storage, and electricity theft prevention, single-phase smart meters suitable for residential electricity have quickly been recognized by the market. When the service life of the electric meter needs to be replaced, or when some rental houses need to install independent electric meters in each room, the single-phase smart electric meter has become one of their good choices. Here's how to choose a more suitable single-phase smart energy meter.

First, we need to confirm the total power of household appliances that a meter needs to carry, and then select the appropriate current specification. Because the size of the current specification is how much power the meter can load at the same time. If the power meter is overloaded in practical applications, the accuracy of the meter measurement will be affected. Here is a reference formula for you: power ÷ voltage ≈ current, and then choose a slightly larger current specification, because you need to leave some margin for electrical appliances that may be added later.

Then try to choose a domestically recognized brand-name meter. Regular brand electric meter companies have production licenses recognized by the state, and at the same time have mature R&D and production technology, guaranteed technological processes, continuous innovation in technology, and guaranteed meter quality and after-sales service.

Then it is to choose the one that matches the remote meter reading system in use. Smart energy meters have many functions, but the realization of many functions requires the help of third-party software to truly realize remote intelligent management. For example, bill payment through mobile phone, remote switching on and off, over-power tripping, online statistics and printing of data stored in electricity meters, etc. Therefore, many users use the meter reading system to manage the electricity meter. However, because there are many types of meter reading systems on the market, the systems developed by different companies will have certain differences and may not be well compatible with a certain brand of smart meters. So be sure to ask customer service before buying.

There are still many details about how to choose a single-phase smart energy meter. You can ask professional customer service for your own needs in order to choose a suitable meter.
