What do you think of smart meters? What is a smart meter?

In addition to the metering function of the basic electricity consumption of traditional watt-hour meters, in order to adapt to the use of smart grid and new energy, smart watt-hour meters also have intelligent functions such as two-way multi-rate metering function, user control function, two-way data communication function with multiple data transmission modes, and anti-theft function. Many families have changed into smart meters, so how do you see the degree of smart meters?

How to see the degree of smart meters?

First of all, there are four values on my electricity meter. These four friends who have read the instructions may know that it is sharp, peak, flat and valley. It is said on the Internet that there may be only two or three smart meters, but this does not affect our meters. These four values actually refer to the rate period.

Generally speaking, the peak is at the front because it represents the highest electricity price, that is to say, the electricity consumption rate is the highest during peak hours, and so on. This is actually designed by the power department to encourage us to use electricity during off-peak hours.

The electricity charge of each household is calculated according to the measurement of these four time periods.

In other words, in the end, your total electricity consumption is calculated according to the sum of these four values, so many people complain that the electricity bill has suddenly increased, mainly because the electricity consumption is too large during peak hours. We are talking about your electricity consumption here, so how much electricity is left? There is a button on the smart meter that controls 28 functions of the meter, but you don't need to press it many times. You only need to press it 2 ~ 5 times each time (depending on the region) to see the remaining electricity bill or power.

What is a smart meter?

Smart meter is the intelligent terminal of smart grid, and it is no longer the traditional watt-hour meter. In addition to the basic electricity consumption metering function of traditional electric energy meters, smart meters also have intelligent functions such as two-way multi-rate metering function, user terminal control function, two-way data communication function of various data transmission modes, and anti-theft function in order to adapt to the use of smart grids and new energy sources.

Smart meters represent the development direction of smart terminals for end users of energy-saving smart grids in the future. What do other meters think of degrees?

The first type: ordinary straight-through single-phase meters and three-phase meters can directly read numbers, and the last reading is subtracted, which is the electricity consumption at this stage.

The incoming wire of the direct current meter is relatively thick, and it is not connected with the transformer after careful observation. The second type: three-phase ammeter is connected by current transformer connection. The connection of ammeter has 65,438+00 wires. It is necessary to observe the current ratios of the connected current transformers, which are all marked with digital ratios of 5, such as 65,438+000/5,65,438+050/5. The number read on the ammeter multiplied by the current ratio is the measured electricity, which is accurate.

The third type: single-phase ammeter measures the electricity quantity of three-phase electricity. The electricity quantity reading method is to directly connect the ammeter and read the number on the ammeter multiplied by 3. If the ammeter is connected through a transformer, you need to read the number of the ammeter multiplied by the current multiple of the transformer and then multiplied by 3.

On-line electricity purchasing method for smart meters

First of all, we think of buying electricity online through Taobao, provided that we need the support of smart meters or network meters. Open Alipay wallet, slide to "Water, Electricity and Coal" at the bottom of the homepage, and click in. We saw the option of buying electricity. Without saying anything, choose a good area, choose a smart meter or a network meter, and then fill in the customer number. This customer number is the number of your electricity meter. If you have it, you can't pay the electricity bill. Then there is the page to view the information.

Enter the amount of electricity you want to buy when you are sure there is no problem. The following is the payment process. I don't need to elaborate on this, do I? But we also said that to pay online, it must be a smart meter or a network meter. Although the transformation of smart meters has been paved, there are always users of old-fashioned meters. What shall we do or don't have to wait in line at the bank? The secret lies in Lacarra. In fact, the presence of Lacarra is not high, but I used to use it when I bought electricity until I changed my smart meter.

Ordinary convenience stores, even pharmacies, will have Lacarra machines. In my map, there is Lacarra with 7 1 1. This is very clear. We don't have to go all the way to the bank to buy electricity. We can buy it at the convenience store in front of our house. Especially in the middle of the night, there is no electricity, and a 24-hour pharmacy can really make you grateful.
