What are the Factors that Influence the Use of Prepaid Electricity Meters?

1. Human factors. Prepaid electricity meters are constantly being updated and upgraded. Unfamiliarity with the system can easily cause the electricity meter to fail to read the card or read the card incorrectly after electricity sales, or the electricity meter cannot read the card due to the wrong card insertion. Therefore, users frequently change labels during reuse, shorten the service life of the electric energy meter, and increase the workload。

2. System factors.

1）The plug-in IC card electric energy meter has poor anti-interference ability. After the electric energy meter is interfered and attacked by the outside world and the control system fails, it is very easy to have electricity disputes.

2）Increase the difficulty of power supply enterprises to count the actual electricity consumption of electricity users. Prepaid electricity meters only play a role in estimating electricity sales so as to control timely payment by customers, and do not realize the simultaneous management of electricity consumption and electricity sales systems.

3）The cost of prepaid electricity meters is relatively high and the service life is short.
