According to regulations, the term of the electricity service is limited to device failure or completion date of recalibration interval, which is 16 years.Thereafter Metrology Service shall provide an opinion on the possibility of using the device in the future.

Currently Gosenergonadzor authorities set new equipment, even if the period of replacement of electricity meters far from the boundary of checking the date.This decision is governed by the RF Government Decree of 4 May 2012, under number 422, according to which account the amount of energy used by appliances must be carried out within at least 2 class.Replacement of faulty equipment or electricity released from durability is held by the owner of premises (Art. 210 of the Civil Code).

Types of meters for electric power accounting

Currently accounting for the quantity of electricity consumed conducted counters:

• induction type;
• electronic devices.

Induction counters use the principle of magnetic induction, whereby their conductive coil electromagnetic field act on the movable metal disc.According to the number of its revolutions are judged on the amount of energy expended.Shelf life of such electricity is limited because of their design provides for moving parts.

Modern electronic counters not have this drawback, as keep records of electricity on the basis of pulses generated by discrete elements when exposed to an electric current.Due to hardware components of electricity, their shelf life is almost unlimited, and in addition, modern electronic filling provides ample opportunities for the automation of accounting.

Lifetime electricity

tariffs for consumed electricity

It's no secret that the cost of electricity at times at night is different from the daily price.Depending on the constant rate used energy or cost varies depending on the time of day, or one tariff used multirate counters.The latter may be adjusted in view of the day or night, weekdays or weekends, holidays, and so on. D. As a rule, one tariff electricity meters have a longer shelf life due to the simplified design.

Installation requirements

counter In addition to meeting the counter register of authorized devices, the installation of the device must be carried out in accordance with the following rules:

• distance from the floor - not higher than 1.70 m;
• device must be permanently attached to the panel and installed in a container or cabinet;
• height from floor-to-device contact area should be between 0.80 m to 1.70 m;
• wiring to the unit should be solid type (without twists and soldering);
• necessary to ensure free access to the meter for meter reading, replace and repair.

check the status of seals and reconciliation of indications have the right to conduct Energonadzor experts.Term of replacement of electricity meters in the apartment determined in accordance with the regulatory framework.
