As an indispensable component in the power system, the selection of manufacturing materials for the meter box is crucial. Common raw materials include the following:

Resin based composite material: This is a widely used material in the manufacturing of electric meter boxes, composed of polyester resins and reinforcing materials such as PC and SMC. This material not only has excellent electrical insulation properties, but also maintains good dielectric properties at high frequencies, is not affected by electromagnetic effects, and does not reflect electromagnetic waves. In addition, it also has characteristics such as insolubility, flame retardancy, recyclability, and stable physical structure, making it a high-performance engineering material.

PC/ABS alloy plastic: This material combines the advantages of polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and has good low temperature resistance, glossiness, and UV resistance. Especially suitable for outdoor meter boxes, due to its excellent toughness and resistance to low-temperature cracking, it can effectively extend the service life of meter boxes.

Electric laminated wood: Electric laminated wood meter boxes have good insulation properties and are commonly used in old areas or places waiting for renovation.

Metal materials such as iron sheet and stainless steel, metal meter boxes have the advantages of strong rigidity and beautiful appearance. However, it should be noted that the iron sheet electric meter box has poor resistance to acid and alkali corrosion, is prone to rusting, and poses a safety hazard. Although stainless steel meter boxes have high hardness, they cannot resist acid and alkali corrosion for a long time and are prone to rusting and damage.

In summary, the common raw materials for electric meter boxes have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the selection should be balanced according to the specific usage environment and requirements.
