Electric meters are electrical measuring and statistical devices and play a crucial role in monitoring and measuring the consumption of electrical energy in households, businesses and industries. These devices provide accurate readings, allowing users to monitor electricity consumption and make informed decisions about energy consumption, as well as plan and manage all processes related to electrical appliances and their optimal optimization. The unit of measure is formed by the power consumed per unit of time, in this case watts per hour Wh (kilowatt hours kWh).
One of the most common types of electricity meters is electromechanical. This traditional meter consists of a rotating metal or aluminum disc mounted between two electromagnets that rotates faster as more electricity is consumed. The rotation of the disc is directly proportional to the power consumption, which makes it easy to measure the amount of electricity used. The speed of rotation of the disc is proportional to the power, which is integrated with the use of a counter mechanism and gears. Electromechanical meters are reliable and have been used for decades, but they lack advanced features such as remote monitoring and real-time data analysis and can be manipulated.
As technology advances, electronic meters are becoming more and more popular. This type of electricity meter is an electrical device that uses digital displays and microprocessors to measure electricity consumption. Unlike electromechanical meters, digital ones do not rely on moving parts and mechanical action, making them more accurate and durable. They also offer additional features such as tamper detection and data logging capabilities. Electronic meters can be easily integrated into smart grid systems, enabling efficient energy management and remote monitoring.
Smart digital electricity meters are an advanced metering technology involving the placement of intelligent electricity meters that read, process and send data to consumers. They report consumption, collect data and build statistics and data and also remotely control the maximum consumption of electrical energy. Smart meters for smart metering use the technology of the modern metering infrastructure system for better efficiency. They can be independent as well as part of a "smart home" system and be managed and controlled conveniently from a distance from a phone, tablet or other mobile device connected to the Internet.
In the category you will find single-phase and three-phase electricity meters for reading the consumed electrical energy, meeting all accuracy standards. Electric meters designed for mounting on a DIN rail or for volume installation in an electrical panel, for surface mounting, as well as smart smart electric meters for remote access and control for double and triple tariffs.
