Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric energy meter replacement equipment, and in particular to a lossless meter replacement instrument. Background Art
[0002] An electric energy meter is an instrument used to measure electrical energy. It is also known as a watt-hour meter, heat meter, or kilowatt-hour meter. It is an instrument used to measure electrical energy and is currently a mandatory energy metering device for legal trade settlements. Regulations require that electric energy meters be rotated, and periodic calibration is also required for large users and gateway meters.
[0003] Related technology discloses an electric energy meter, referring to Figure 1 , including a watch case 01, a display 02 and a wiring port 03. The watch case 01 is provided with a mounting ear 04, and a transparent wiring protective shell 05 is bolted to the wiring port 03.
[0004] With the rapid development of the national economy and the growing size of the power grid, the periodic rotation and on-site periodic inspection of electricity meters have become large-scale and institutionalized work. The current periodic rotation method for mutual inductance three-phase electricity meters is to temporarily disconnect the voltage circuit and short-circuit the current circuit of the operating electricity meter through a joint junction box without affecting the normal power consumption of users, thereby creating working conditions for safe replacement of the electricity meter. The old electricity meter is then removed from the meter position and replaced with a new one. The wires are then reconnected to the new electricity meter and the circuit is connected to achieve the meter replacement effect.
[0005] For small groups of households using electricity, the electricity meter is usually replaced by a short-term power outage. The meter can also be replaced in a short time by a short-circuit current loop. Since there are few household electrical appliances, a large amount of electricity loss will not be caused in a short time. However, for large-scale electricity-consuming places such as factories, the power cannot be cut off at will during factory production. Therefore, the electricity meter is usually replaced by a short-circuit current loop. Due to the high power of the electrical equipment in the factory, a large amount of electricity loss will be caused in a short time, and the lost electricity cannot be recorded. The traditional solution is to negotiate with factory users to estimate an approximate electricity consumption, but the negotiation is prone to cause negotiation conflicts and inconveniences with users, and there are shortcomings.
