What are the structures of an electric meter box?
The structure of the electric meter box mainly includes the following parts:
Base: The supporting structure of the electric meter box is usually made of flame-retardant materials such as ABS to ensure safety.
Grounding busbar: used to connect the grounding system of the meter box to ensure electrical safety.
Small circuit breaker in front of the meter: installed in front of the meter to protect the circuit from overload and short circuit faults.
Prepaid energy meter: used to measure and record users' energy consumption, and supports prepaid functionality.
Protective door: including front switch protective door and observation window protective door, used to protect the electricity meter and circuit from external interference and damage.
Observation window: usually equipped with transparent materials such as PC, allowing meter readers to observe the reading of the energy meter without opening the meter box.
Other attachments: such as prepaid recharge prompt labels, lead seal screws, upper covers, etc., used to improve the functionality and security of the meter box.
In addition, the structure of the meter box may also include a user wiring part and an energy metering part, which are usually designed as two boxes on top and bottom to achieve the separation of user wiring and energy metering. This design not only facilitates user use, but also improves the safety and reliability of the meter box.
