Installing an energy meter involves several important steps. Have you chosen one of the single-phase energy meters available from One-Elec? These devices, offered in both single-phase and three-phase versions, allow you to measure your electricity consumption with precision. In this guide, you’ll find everything you need to know about installing and reading your meter correctly, from connecting it to your electrical panel to checking the data on the LCD display.
How to Read Your Single-Phase Energy Meter
An energy meter gives you access to a wide range of information, including your electricity consumption in kWh shown on the LCD screen, your current power level, and, in some models, output pulses that can be connected to other monitoring modules.
This data helps you better understand your consumption habits, identify which devices use the most energy, and ultimately lower both your costs and your environmental footprint.
Energy Meters for Professional Applications
In addition to standard distribution meters, there are specialised models designed for advanced monitoring. These products, available directly from One-Elec’s stock, provide enhanced features suitable for all types of electrical installations.
Sector-Specific Applications
In the residential sector, these meters make it possible to monitor usage by category (heating, lighting), comply with RE2020 energy management requirements, and allocate consumption in shared or multi-tenant buildings.
For tertiary and industrial sectors, they support MID-certified billing, detailed equipment-specific consumption analysis, and optimisation of energy use across processes.
Advanced Measurement Technologies
Smart, connected meters offer extended capabilities such as communication protocols (Modbus, BACnet, M-Bus), high accuracy ratings (Class 1 or 0.5S), single-phase or three-phase options, and installation either directly or through external transformers.
Practical Advice
During Installation
- Check electrical compliance before commissioning.
- Keep all certificates and documentation.
- Take an initial reading as soon as the meter is installed.
For Optimal Monitoring
- Take regular readings.
- Access your consumption data through digital tools.
- Optimise your usage according to peak and off-peak times.
