Practical knowledge of electric meters: a complete analysis from types to energy-saving techniques

An electric meter serves as the "little manager" of household electricity usage. The common types include mechanical meters and smart meters. Mechanical meters measure electricity through a rotating disc, while smart meters utilize electronic chips, offering higher accuracy and supporting functions such as remote meter reading and tiered electricity price calculation.

To save electricity, it's essential to make good use of the "peak and valley time periods" function of smart meters. Generally, the valley electricity period is from 10 PM to 8 AM, during which the electricity price is lower. For example, charging electric vehicles or using high-power appliances during this period can save a significant amount of money.

If you notice any abnormalities in the electric meter, don't panic. First, check whether the circuit is short-circuited or the equipment is overloaded. If the meter suddenly runs faster without any changes in household appliance usage, it may indicate an internal fault. It is recommended to contact the power supply department promptly for inspection to ensure electricity safety and avoid unnecessary electricity charges.
