Why does the meter still go when you pull the switch off the meter for smart payment of electricity bills?

After replacing the smart instrument, sometimes you will find that electricity consumption is much more measured than the previous meter. And even after pulling the switch off, the smart meter still goes again, what's going on?

Because the smart instrument is pulse measurement, in general, it is more accurate, smart meter factory, need to pass the qualification test, unqualified products are not allowed to enter the market. In addition, the power supply company will carry out qualified calibration of the instrument after bidding for purchases, and only qualified meters can be used in the homes of electricity customers. After pulling the gate, if the instrument still goes, there are usually the following possibilities:

1. Line aging. You can check to see if the terminals on the switch and terminals are oxidized or otherwise leaking. In this case, you may choose to replace the smart meter with a new one so that you can get to the root cause of this problem. It is advisable to get the help of a professional and it is better not to do it yourself to avoid any danger. When purchasing a meter, you are better off choosing a major brand for more accurate counting and peace of mind.

2. The electric switch is not completely turned off. If it is the old mechanical meter we used to use, even after plugging in the phone charger meter does not turn, do not count the electricity, but the smart meter is different, for example, traditional household appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, fans, etc., with technological innovations, nowadays, such as juicers, soymilk machines, flat panels, cell phones, etc., invariably, the overall power consumption is much greater than ever before, which of course, will be a very high electricity bill. The sensitivity of the new smart meter is much higher than the original meter, such as our cell phone charger plugged into the charging socket, even if it is not charging, the loss of the charger itself will be measured by the meter. So if you want to maximize power savings after installing a smart meter, you should unplug your electronics in a timely manner!

3. Misreading the meter. Mistakenly take the meter's collection indicator RxD.TxD light, as the meter's pulse signal indicator; or with the neighbor's meter connected to the wrong, you can switch the power supply and the neighbor's whether or not to correspond to the troubleshooting.
