What types of electricity meters are there?

The instruments used to measure electrical energy are called energy meters, also known as kilowatt hour meters or kilowatt hour meters. The types of electricity meters can be divided into:

1. By phase:

Single phase, three-phase three wire, three-phase four wire, etc.

2. Classified by function and purpose:

Active energy meters, reactive energy meters, maximum demand meters, multi rate energy meters, multi-functional energy meters, copper loss meters, iron loss meters, etc.

According to the working principle:

Inductive, electronic, electromechanical, etc.

What is the unit of electrical energy?

The unit of electrical energy is "kilowatt hour" (kWh).

What is the difference between the integer and decimal places of the meter register?

The window or font of the integer and decimal digits displayed on the general meter meter meter should be distinguished by different colors (usually the integer digits are represented in black and the decimal digits are represented in red), and there should be a distinguishing decimal point between them.

Is an electronic watch faster than a mechanical watch?

Firstly, it should be said that electronic watches are more accurate than mechanical watches. This is because the structure of electronic watches is different from that of mechanical watches. Mechanical watches are prone to errors due to mechanical wear and deformation caused by rotation and vibration. Electronic watches do not have a rotary table like mechanical watches, so they do not have mechanical wear. Therefore, their error characteristics are good. The error curve from light load to maximum load is basically straight, making it easier to control errors. The accuracy is higher than mechanical watches. Compared to electronic watches, the accuracy level is 1.0, and mechanical watches are 2.0, which means that the measurement error of electronic watches is controlled within+1%.

How do I know if the electricity meter is working properly?

If you are using an induction meter, the aluminum dial inside the meter should rotate when you are using electricity, and should not rotate when you are not using electricity. If you are using an electronic energy meter, please observe the indicator light on the nameplate from the front of the meter. The indicator light should flash on/off when you are using electricity, and should remain on or off when you are not using electricity (not using electricity refers to when you are sure that all electrical appliances in your home have been completely disconnected from power, rather than in standby mode).
