b.Beautiful appearance, suitable for various indoor environments;
c.High measurement accuracy and stable performance;
d.Good protection performance, which can effectively prevent the impact of external factors on the meter;
e.Support remote meter reading, convenient electricity management.
2) Application scenarios.
Wall-mounted meters are widely used in household, commercial and industrial fields, such as residential buildings, shopping malls, factories and other places. Especially in residential buildings, wall-mounted meters have become the mainstream product to replace traditional mechanical meters.
2. Rail-type meter.
1.Definition & Structure.
A rail-mounted meter, also known as a recessed meter, is a type of meter that embeds the meter directly into the electrical cabinet. It is mainly composed of current transformer, voltage transformer, metering circuit, display unit, etc. Rail-mounted meters are suitable for power systems, industrial automation and other fields.
2.Features and application scenarios.
1) Features. Dinter-rail meters have the following features:
a.Compact structure and small footprint;
b.Easy to install and easy to maintain;
c.Good protection performance, can effectively resist external environmental influence;
d.Support a variety of communication methods, such as RS-485, Ethernet, etc.;
e.It has high metering accuracy.
2) Application scenarios.
Din rail meters are mainly used in power systems, industrial automation, data centers and other fields. In these cases, rail-rail meters have won wide recognition for their compact construction, stable performance, and power management functions.
3. Differences and selection suggestions.
1.Distinguish. The main differences between wall-mounted and rail-mounted meters are:
1) Installation method: wall-mounted meter is suitable for wall installation, and rail-mounted meter is suitable for embedded installation in electrical cabinets;
2) Application scenarios: wall-mounted meters are mainly used in residential buildings, commercial and industrial fields, and rail-mounted meters are mainly used in power systems, industrial automation and other fields;
3) Structure and performance: The rail meter has a more compact structure, better protection performance, and supports more communication methods; Wall-mounted meters are small in size, beautiful in appearance, and suitable for indoor environments.
2.Select Recommendations.
When choosing wall-mounted meters and rail-mounted meters, you should choose according to the actual application scenarios and needs:
1) For household and commercial electricity occasions, wall-mounted meters can be selected, which are beautiful and easy to install;
2) In the fields of power system and industrial automation, it is recommended to choose a rail-type meter, which has stable performance and supports a variety of communication methods.
Summary. Wall-mounted meters and rail-mounted meters have their own characteristics and are suitable for different application scenarios. Understanding their characteristics and differences will help us better choose the right meter to meet our electricity needs. When purchasing, it should be selected according to the actual needs and applications to ensure the performance and stability of the meter.
