Electric meters measure the amount of electric current supplied to a shop, house or any other source including machines. The electricity board has different terms and conditions for installing various electric meters depending on their usage,oakley lunette de vue. These meters help in measuring the amount of electricity being utilized by various sections of society, and therefore, should not be tampered with.
Electricity cannot be stored in large amounts,Chloé discount, and hence,lunette Chloé, needs generators to produce it,Sac Chloé. The need of generators would be endless if electricity is not used efficiently,sac chanel pas cher. Electric meters are designed to reduce power consumption during peak hours and also control the power supply to different consumer sections.

Electromechanical Induction Meter or Standard Meter – The most commonly used electric meter is electromechanical induction meter or standard meter that operates by counting the revolutions of an aluminium disc. It measures the electricity in kilowatt-hours,tod’s soldes. In this case,sac prada pas cher, the units are charged at the same rate throughout the day. The electric energy being used is directly proportional to the number of revolutions of the disc,sac chanel. These types of meters are generally used on single phase AC supply,lunette carrera.

They calculate and show the exact value of the electricity consumed rather than its amount. The rate of the unit consumed varies according to the time and day of the week,tods soldes. They can also record,lunette solaire carrera, supply and load parameters such as power factor, reactive power,lunettes chanel, maximum demand,sacs a main Chloé, etc,burberry pas cher.

Electronic Meters – The latest electronic meters are based on automatic meter reading or remote meter reading technologies. They use GSM,prada pas cher, GPRS, Bluetooth,gianmarco lorenzi, etc,prada 2013. to transfer the information related to power consumption,Chanel pas cher. They store the usage profiles and the load requirements of a consumer and process it accordingly. Electric meters also help in detecting energy theft or any attempts at meter tampering with the help of their inbuilt automatic sensors.Related articles:
