There are significant differences between PC meter boxes and fiberglass meter boxes in multiple aspects. The following is a specific comparison between these two types of meter boxes:

Material characteristics

PC meter box: Made of polycarbonate (PC) material, which has excellent transparency, electrical insulation, flame retardancy, and weather resistance. It is lightweight and strong, not easily aged, and suitable for outdoor environments.

Fiberglass meter box: Made of fiberglass material, namely SMC or DMC composite material, and pressed under high temperature and high pressure. Fiberglass has excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and insulation properties, and can resist the erosion of various chemicals and harsh environmental conditions.

Performance characteristics

PC meter box: good transparency, easy to observe the operation status of the meter; Lightweight, easy to transport and install; Strong weather resistance, able to resist the erosion of sunlight, rain, and ice and snow.

Fiberglass meter box: high strength, capable of withstanding significant external impacts and vibrations; Good sealing performance can effectively prevent rainwater from entering; Good flame retardancy and compliance with relevant safety standards.

Cost and Applicability

PC electric meter box: With relatively low cost, it is an economical alternative to fiberglass electric meter boxes. Suitable for general outdoor environments and situations where the operation status of the electricity meter needs to be observed.

Fiberglass meter box: High cost but excellent performance, suitable for harsh environmental conditions and occasions requiring high-strength protection.

In summary, both PC meter boxes and fiberglass meter boxes have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the selection should be balanced based on specific usage environments and needs.
