When the smart meter trips, many people will think that the meter is broken, but it is not. Now many families and factories use smart meters. As long as the power is not cut off, you can check the electricity, read meters remotely, and control electrical appliances at any time. However, once it trips, it is very troublesome, especially when problems occur. What if the smart meter trips?

1, Judge the fault

When the smart meter trips, the first thing to do is to determine the cause. If the user is not at home, the user needs to cut off the power; If the power supply of the meter cannot be restored after the power failure, the power supply department shall be contacted for maintenance.

There is a "power reset button" on the panel of the smart meter. Pressing this power reset button will result in a trip button. Under normal circumstances, it should be a red button.

If no one is home yet, you can go directly to the property or neighborhood committee to cut off the power. In addition to the above steps, we can also judge whether it is tripping or not by the switch of the electricity meter. If there is no leakage in the meter box of the smart meter switch, it is generally energized.

• - Active / reactive import and export maximum demand registers

• - Maximum demand calculation base on demand interval 

• - History energy and demand data record 

• - Instantaneous parameter measurement 

• - RS485 communication 

• - S0- Pulse output for active and reactive 

• - Synchronization 

2, Check whether there is a problem with the meter

If the above methods do not solve the problem, the meter may be broken, and professional maintenance personnel need to be contacted for maintenance.

After the smart meter trips, you can check whether the meter is damaged. If the problem is suspected, you can take the smart meter to professional maintenance personnel for maintenance.

3, Replace the meter

It may be that there is a problem with the electricity meter, so it is necessary to consider whether the power supply at home has failed. When the smart meter trips, it is generally caused by the failure to plug in the power plug at home, the power supply of the socket, the damage of the switch, etc. In this case, the problem can be solved by replacing a new electricity meter, or the power supply can be restored by using a product with wire control function. If the power supply cannot be restored, it is necessary to consider whether there is a problem with the meter.

4, Check the home appliances

For some electrical appliances with high frequency of use, such as computers, televisions, etc., you can check by unplugging or disconnecting the plug. If it is an old style air conditioner, it also needs to be powered off. Use a hair dryer to blow for a few minutes before starting the machine. For electric appliances such as electric water heaters and electric blankets, hot towels can be used to restore power supply, but it will take a long time to restore power supply.

5, Apply for power supply restoration

If you are still worried, you can check the lines at home first to see if the zero line, live line and ground wire are connected wrongly. You need to check them to know whether they trip. If you find that the switches in your home have been burned out, you should immediately go to the power supply department to apply for restoration of electricity use.

The above is about how to do the trip of smart meter, and I hope it will help you! Another thing to note is that after a failure, you must first disconnect the electrical appliances at home and then cut off the power supply!
