Smart meters are changed much more frequently than old Ferraris meters. An experienced technician changes around 20 meters per working day. For a medium-sized utility company with 20,000 electricity meters, this means 1,000 working days. In addition, there is the effort of notifying customers, finding appointments, as well as follow-up care and troubleshooting in the event of phase reversals or poorly tightened conductors.
With a meter terminal, the effort required to change the meter is halved. Since the power is not interrupted, it is easier to notify the customer. With plug-in terminals from eweco, all live parts are covered during the exchange, it is significantly safer for personnel and PPE is no longer mandatory. In addition, troubleshooting is practically eliminated because the interface is uniform and the strands no longer have to be touched. The gain in efficiency pays off 20,000 times over!
