Reading methods of intelligent instruments and mechanical instruments

Smart meters and mechanical meters are common types of meters in our daily life. Different meters have different reading methods. This paper will introduce the reading methods of smart meters and mechanical meters to help you better understand and manage your electricity consumption.

Reading method of intelligent electric meter

The reading method of smart meters is very simple. Just looking at the LCD screen, a string of numbers directly shows the integer and decimal of meter reading. However, the data displayed on the LCD screen of different models of electric meters may be different. Press the wheel display button next to the screen, easily switch the display interface, and find the data with the words "current total power" or "current positive total power", which is your current accumulated power consumption!

Reading method of mechanical ammeter

The reading method of mechanical ammeter is also very simple. You can know the cumulative power consumption by the numbers in a row of windows on the instrument dial. The red window represents the decimal part and the black window represents the integer part. Calculating the actual electricity consumption is super simple: electricity consumption = current meter reading-last meter reading. If the meter is equipped with a transformer, remember to multiply it by the ratio!
