Do you really understand the electric meters in your company? Beyond simply measuring electricity consumption, modern electric meters possess numerous practical functions. The real-time monitoring feature of smart meters can record electricity data at minute-level intervals, enabling enterprises to accurately identify high-energy-consuming equipment. By analyzing the electricity consumption curves during peak and off-peak hours, companies can optimize production schedules and reduce costs by utilizing electricity during off-peak periods.
If there is a sudden surge in electricity consumption shown on the meter, it may be caused by equipment malfunctions or electrical leakage in the lines. Some electric meters are equipped with anti-stealing alarms that will automatically trigger when abnormal current fluctuations are detected. Regularly exporting electricity consumption data reports from the meters also allows for trend analysis to predict future electricity demands, facilitating advance planning for capacity expansion and saving on electricity expenses. Mastering these hidden functions can turn electric meters into powerful allies for corporate energy conservation and efficiency enhancement.
