Electricity Meter FAQ
How often should electricity meters be calibrated?
Electricity meters should be calibrated every 5-8 years depending on usage and manufacturer recommendations. High-accuracy meters used for commercial purposes may require more frequent calibration. Our meters maintain accuracy for extended periods due to their robust design, but we recommend professional verification every 6 years for optimal performance.
Can electricity meters measure both active and reactive power?
Yes, our advanced electricity meters are capable of measuring both active power (kWh) and reactive power (kVARh). This dual measurement capability is particularly important for industrial applications where power factor correction is necessary. The meters display both values separately and can communicate this data to monitoring systems.
What's the difference between single-phase and three-phase electricity meters?
Single-phase electricity meters are designed for standard residential applications with one live wire, typically handling up to 100A. Three-phase meters are used for commercial and industrial settings with three live wires, capable of handling higher loads up to 400A. Our product range includes both types with appropriate certifications for different applications.
Installation Requirements
