Since the services of electricity suppliers account for each of us, then all questions regarding the supply of electricity and control over its use are of living interest. For example, you can often find a question: Do I need to change the electric meter is still in working condition? What is the purpose of replacing the working counter? Why do you need a regular check of the electric meter? These questions cause a lot of disputes. Let's try to deal with the problem using regulatory information and instruction manual.

Check and replacing the electric meter

Recently, with the concept, the meter checks almost everything: individuals, owners of all types of enterprises, director of shops and hotels and so on. The continuous raising of the cost of electricity caused the need for the introduction of a local system that would take into account and controlled the amount of electricity used by consumers. A law was created, after which all consumers of electricity began to obliges to make a change of obsolete counters on the devices of a new generation, in the accompanying documents to which the need to conduct systematic inspections and their periodic replacement.

How many years the electric meter is changed

For each, individually, the type of counter is defined by the time period, during which its data is considered accurate and undischarged:

• for instruments with mechanical induction (discs) - 8 years;
• for modern devices - 16 years.

Who should change the electricity meter and provide for verification

This procedure is engaged in the owner of the device. First of all, it is necessary to clarify in advance in the center of standardization the day when the counter will be provided to verify and refine the readings. When doubts appear in increased meter readings, the test of its data is performed earlier than specified in the passport. In any case, to a hike to the center of standardization, you need:

• make sure the installation of electrical wiring was made high quality;
• invite a sales officer who legalizes the delivery of the device for verification;
• have all receipts on payment for electricity.

An unscheduled calibration of the measuring instrument can be made in other cases:

• if the electro-user lost a document confirming verification;
• if adjustment or adjustment of the device was made;
• if you need to install a new electrical counter.

For many people, a mandatory check is a problem. According to the prescription of metrology services, the use of an old electric meter is regarded as impossible. In the current situation, adhering to the letter of the law, replacing the old counter to the new mandatory.

Forced to change the electric meter in the following cases:

• when the disk does not rotate at all or rotates intermittently, jumpingly;
• when the device does not work or indicator;
• when the body of the device has damage;
• when there is no state check seal on the device.

Which expense change the electric meter

If the test results showed that the counter is not working, then its further operation should be stopped and engaged in choosing and acquiring a new one. Each electricity meter refers to a certain discharge of accuracy. In this case, accuracy is a permissible number of deviations in the testimony from the actually used amount of electricity. For example, if the device refers to the discharge of accuracy 2, then using 100 W of energy, the deviation will be from 98 W to 102 watts. This is the norm for a specific model.

The following list is the most often purchased species of electrical counters:

• Mercury 200.
• Mercury 230.
• SE-5
• SE-52.
• SO-505
• Co-ee6705
• Co-ee6706
• SOLO
• CE-2726.
• CE-2705
• F669

Immediately replacing the electrical instrument should be made only by a specialist related to this area. Independent replacement can be life-threatening. The choice and purchase of an electrical counter The owner of the building produces itself, but called the wizard, in addition to the installation, will check the wiring and eliminates faults (if any).

As for the purchase of a measuring device, the most correct option will be a trip to a special organization. Such organizations usually purchase devices directly from manufacturers. Purchase made in such a place will guarantee the quality, as well as compliance with the standard and standards.

In addition, similar organizations, the installation of their purchased devices produce and give a warranty sheet about the work done and directly to the device itself. After reading the above-described information, you can make sure that the replacements and checks of the non-working counter will not be avoided. In cases where the consumer provides a measuring device for verification, employees of the standardization service come to it and an attempt to evade the previously adopted law. In any case, you should not feel fate and wait for the arrival of the supervision service. A timely made check of the meter will give the opportunity to be confident in its complete health and in the fact that the monthly amount of payment coincides with the amount for the amount of energy that used in reality.

Place of installation of the electric meter

The power supply service cannot install the meter from the outside of the building. Such installation will not give the complete opportunity to ensure proper operating conditions and will not protect unauthorized persons from access. Also, such an electric unit cannot be proposed and as a recommendation. It is assumed only in exceptional cases, precisely when the mounting of the meter in the house is not possible for technical reasons.

Any electricity consumer may insist on placing the counter in the building in a suitable place for it. All the arguments of the energy company on this occasion (for example, accessibility to remove indications), as well as tips for placement on the street, are inappropriate. At nevertheless, the conversation for this topic, the consumer can offer employees of the company to establish the intelligent meter at the expense of Energonadzor, the testimony from which can be removed at a distance. Also, the consumer has the full right to ask to provide the regulatory document in which the mandatory point of the installation of the counter on the outside of the building is specified.

Documents for installing the electric meter

The most important and obligatory document is the power supply contract. It consists between an energy supply and consumer organization. He controls the rights and obligations of both parties. Quite often signing such documents is happening without familiarizing it from the consumer. Such a situation may entail the incorrect consumer attitude to the rules of operation, violation of the terms of the contract and as a result of the imposition of various fines and the termination of the supply of electricity. To any consumer who concludes a similar agreement, it is necessary to carefully examine and take into account all the points, subparagraphs, rules, rights, responsibilities, and so on specified in the contract.

Installation of the electric meter in a private house

Any meter must be in a dry place where the temperature does not fall below the zero below, have a certain space that is sufficient to check its serviceability, troubleshooting (if necessary) and removal of readings. Counter fasteners can be made on a metal, wooden or plastic surface.

The distance from the floor to the instrument should be at least a meter and no more than 1.7 meters. If there is a risk of mechanical damage to the meter or ingress of various contaminants, then it must be mounted in a special locker.

The locker should be a little more than an electrical device. When a certain need occurs, the counter in it can be replaced without problematic or removed to be inspected in the energy company.
