What is the difference between a single phase multifunction digital display meter and a traditional mechanical meter?

There are significant differences between a single phase multifunction digital display meter and a traditional mechanical meter. The most intuitive difference lies in the display method and working principle. Traditional mechanical meters rely on the internal rotating aluminum disk to induce the current magnetic field to drive the mechanical counter to accumulate the electric energy. The data display is single and the reading is easily affected by the viewing angle. The single phase multifunction digital display meter is completely different. It has a built-in microprocessor and digital circuit. It directly displays the power consumption information in clear and intuitive numbers through the LCD screen or digital tube, completely getting rid of the wear and stagnation problems that may be caused by the mechanical transmission structure, and realizing a high degree of digitalization of the measurement.

Compared with traditional mechanical meters that can only record the accumulated power consumption, the core advantage of the single phase multifunction digital display meter lies in its rich measurement, monitoring and recording functions. It can monitor multiple power parameters such as voltage, current, power, power factor, etc. in real time or time-sharing, and realize remote data reading through the communication interface, providing strong support for power load analysis, power quality management and abnormal diagnosis, which is completely unattainable by old mechanical meters. The multi-dimensional data provided by this type of single-phase multifunction digital display meter greatly enhances the user's ability to control electricity consumption.

In terms of installation convenience, data management and anti-theft, single phase multifunction digital display meter has also made significant progress. It is usually smaller in size and more convenient to install and wire. Users can directly view rich electricity consumption information through the meter screen without complicated conversion. Its precise digital metering and built-in event recording function greatly improve the anti-theft ability. In addition, support for prepayment function and remote meter reading is the key value of single-phase multifunction digital display meter in modern intelligent electricity management, which completely changes the traditional mode of relying on manual on-site meter reading.
