Energy Meters

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Energy Meter or Watt-Hour Meter is an electrical instrument that measures the amount of electrical energy used by the consumers. Utilities are one of the electrical departments, which install these instruments at every place like homes, industries, organizations, commercial buildings to charge for the electricity consumption by loads such as lights, fans, refrigerator, and other home appliances.

The basic unit of power is watts and it is measured by using a watt meter. One thousand watts make one kilowatt. If one uses one kilowatt in one-hour duration, one unit of energy gets consumed. So energy meters measure the rapid voltage and currents, calculate their product and give instantaneous power. This power is integrated over a time interval, which gives the energy utilized over that time period.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_section title=”Electro Mechanical Induction Type Energy Meter” tab_id=”1636443684493-20ab812e-5514″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]It is a well-known and most common type of age-old energy meter. It comprises a rotating aluminum disc placed on a spindle between two electromagnets. The rotation speed of the disc is proportional to the power, and this power is integrated by the use of gear trains and counter mechanism. It is made of two silicon steel laminated electromagnets: shunt and series magnets.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Electronic Energy Meter” tab_id=”1636443684505-33401ec3-3041″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]The basic Electronic Energy meter senses the current and voltage which signals from the circuitry, converts them in to the digital signal and makes necessary calculations to get the units of electrical energy which has been consumed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Smart Energy Meters” tab_id=”1636444551463-70204735-4081″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]With a smart meter you can wave goodbye to estimated billing. The smart meter shows a digital meter reading and uses a secure smart data network (managed by the DCC) to automatically and wirelessly send the readings to your energy supplier at least once a month, so you will receive accurate, not estimated bills.

Smart meters also come with an in-home display screen that shows you exactly how much energy you’re using in pounds and pence, in near real time.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row]
