Introduction to the Functions of Meter Box

The electricity meter box is a dedicated electrical equipment enclosure for centrally installing electric energy metering instruments, power distribution switches, and protection devices. It is widely used in residential communities, commercial buildings, industrial parks, and other scenarios. Its core functions are to realize electric energy metering, electrical safety protection, and centralized line management. At the same time, it provides a protective environment against water, dust, and external impact for internal electrical components, serving as a key connecting device in the power system from the power supply end to the electricity consumption end.

Product Features

Safety and Protection: It has multiple safety designs. Some outdoor models reach the IP65 protection level, capable of withstanding rain immersion and dust accumulation. Meanwhile, built-in anti-touch baffles reduce the probability of electric shock due to misoperation.
Structural Rationality: It adopts a modular design, with reserved installation positions for meters, wiring terminals, and wiring ducts inside, facilitating the installation, maintenance, and replacement of components such as electricity meters and circuit breakers. The box door is equipped with dedicated locks, supporting unified management by power departments.
Durability and Anti-aging: The shell material undergoes anti-ultraviolet and high-low temperature resistance treatment (able to adapt to an environment of -40°C to 80°C), and it is not prone to cracking, fading, or deformation even when exposed outdoors for a long time. Internal metal parts adopt galvanizing or spray molding processes, effectively preventing rust and extending the overall service life (the design life of conventional products is ≥15 years).
Functional Expandability: It reserves interfaces for intelligent devices, and can be compatible with smart meters, remote meter reading modules, electricity monitoring sensors, etc., to meet the functional requirements of the smart grid such as "remote meter reading, abnormal electricity usage alarm, and load monitoring". Some industrial meter boxes can also add lightning protection and overvoltage protection modules according to needs, adapting to complex electricity usage scenarios.

Application Scenarios (Main Usage Occasions)

Electricity meter boxes are mainly used in scenarios such as family residences, commercial buildings, industrial factories, and public facilities. They centrally install and protect electric energy meters to realize the metering, monitoring, and safety management of electricity usage.
