What is a carrier wave electricity meter? What are the functions?

Many people may feel unfamiliar when they see a "carrier electricity meter", but in fact, it is a common smart electricity meter in our homes, just with the added "superpower" of "carrier communication". Simply put, ordinary electric electricity meters rely on manual counting, while carrier wave electricity meters can use household wires as a "signal channel" to automatically transmit electricity data to power companies without the need for additional network or signal lines, just like giving wires both the functions of "transmitting electricity" and "transmitting information".
Its core functions mainly have three points, each of which is closely related to our lives:
The first is precise measurement of electricity consumption. Compared with traditional electricity meters, carrier wave electricity meters have higher measurement accuracy and can accurately record the usage of each kilowatt hour of electricity. For example, when high-power appliances such as air conditioners and water heaters are turned on at home, there will be no "under counting" or "over counting", avoiding disputes over electricity bills caused by inaccurate measurements and ensuring that every penny of electricity we pay is clear and transparent.
The second is to achieve remote electricity meter reading. In the past, electricity meter readers had to knock on doors door to door and run a second time when there was no one at home, while carrier wave electricity meters could automatically upload monthly electricity consumption data to the power system. We can now check and pay electricity bills through mobile apps, without having to wait for paper bills or worry about electricity meter readers coming to disturb us, greatly saving time and manpower.
The third is real-time electricity monitoring. It can track the electricity usage at home in real time and provide timely feedback in case of any abnormalities. For example, if you forget to turn off the electric kettle when you go out, causing a sudden surge in electricity consumption, the power system may remind you through SMS; If there is leakage in the aging of the home circuit, it can quickly capture abnormal data, help identify safety hazards, and ensure electrical safety.
In general, carrier wave electricity meters not only make electricity measurement more accurate, but also make electricity payment more convenient and electricity use safer, making them an "intelligent helper" to improve the convenience of life.
