However, with the popularization of the global energy Internet, metering equipment has become more and more popular, and the natural environment in which the equipment is applied has gradually become diversified. Under harsh natural environments, metering equipment often fails. As the protective shell of smart electricity meters, acquisition terminals, disconnect switches, circuit breakers, etc., the low-voltage metering box ensures fair, just, and accurate metering, and is also the first line of defense to ensure the life and property safety of users in case of short circuits and fires. Therefore, its product quality, service life, etc. need to be strictly controlled.

[0003] According to the general technical specifications for low-voltage metering boxes issued by the State Grid, the low-voltage metering box needs to pass performance tests before leaving the factory, including the tensile test of the insert bolts of the low-voltage metering box.
