It can complete electricity measurement, electric energy metering, data display, collection and transmission. The multifunctional power meter is widely used in substation automation, distribution automation, intelligent buildings, and internal enterprise electric energy measurement, management and assessment. Among them, the sensor combination is an indispensable part of the power meter.

The movement of the connecting rod 64 drives the limit rod 65 fixed thereto to move. When the limit rod 65 is completely slidably plugged into the limit hole on the outer wall of the mounting plate 51 on the same side, the motor 611 is turned off through the external PLC, and then several insertion strips 4 are slidably plugged into several slots on the top surface of the cover plate 2 respectively, and then the cover plate 2 and the power meter body 1 are fixed together by several screws, thereby completing the installation of the four sensor modules 5. According to the above, the four sensor modules 5 can be disassembled, repaired or replaced otherwise.
