Communication Mediums of Smart Energy Meters
Communication Mediums of Smart Energy Meters Smart Energy Meters are the “Smart Meters” due to the only reason of some Communication medium present between the utility company and Energy Meter. Here I am not going to discuss the technical differences of the Communication Mediums of Smart Energy Meters instead the practical differences of the medium […]
Wi-Fi based Smart Energy Meter using Arduino
Interfacing of ESP8266 with Smart Energy Meter using Arduino In this project, we are going to discuss that how to design a Wi-Fi based Smart Energy Meter using Arduino. Major focus of this article is towards the interfacing setup of Wi-Fi module (ESP8266) with Smart Energy Meter. I have already written a comprehensive article on […]
How to Check Accuracy of Energy Meters
Accuracy Checking of Energy Meters Accuracy checking of Energy Meter is not a difficult thing. A person having a clamp meter or power analyzer can easily check the accuracy whether that person is a lay man or a techy person. There are major three methods to compare accuracy of an Energy Meter. Let’s start with […]
How to Read Electricity Meters
How to Read Energy Meters First of all, let’s call these electricity meters as Energy Meters because this is their real name. Secondly reading of Energy Meters is not a task that a techy person can only do. Any lay person can read their Electricity Meters. I will discuss here only relevant and commons parts […]
Electro-Mechanical Energy Meters
Electro-Mechanical Energy Meters Electro-Mechanical Energy Meters are obsolete now but some countries are still using it due to its cheapness and robustness. Other name of these Energy Meters are Disk meters. Working Principle of Electro-Mechanical Energy Meters As their name suggest, Electro-Mechanical Energy Meters are the combination of Mechanical and Electrical Technology. A mechanical […]
Special Types of Energy Meters
Special Categories of Energy Meters: In the previous article, we discussed basics types of energy meters. In this article I will continue the discussion on other special types of energy meters. Let’s take this hierarchy diagram again. We already understood about the types of energy meters with respect to technology. Now, let’s talk about category […]
