What is a cost controlled smart meter?

Cost controlled smart meters are an upgraded version of traditional mechanical meters, with a core intelligent management model of "payment first, electricity later", which has been widely adopted in households and enterprises.
From the perspective of working principle, it relies on internal high-precision current and voltage sensors to collect real-time electricity consumption data. After calculating the electricity consumption through the chip, on the one hand, the remaining electricity bill, electricity consumption and other information are displayed on the screen. On the other hand, the data is transmitted to the power company system through wireless modules (such as the Internet of Things, 4G) to achieve remote monitoring without the need for manual meter reading.
The core function revolves around "intelligent fee control": firstly, pre deposit electricity bills, which can be recharged online when there is no electricity, and the funds will be credited instantly; The second is automatic calculation of tiered electricity prices, with segmented billing based on electricity consumption; The third is abnormal alarm, which will automatically cut off power and push reminders to users and power companies in case of overload, leakage and other situations.
For families, it solves the problem of forgetting to pay for traditional electricity meters by using electricity first and then paying. Online recharging saves time and effort, and can also help users discover "major power consumers" through electricity consumption data. For example, at the end of the month, if the data shows high electricity consumption for air conditioning, users can adjust their usage habits to save electricity. For enterprises, remote meter reading avoids manual statistical errors, and time-sharing electricity consumption data can help optimize production plans, such as arranging high power consuming processes in low electricity price valleys to reduce costs. At the same time, abnormal alarms can reduce the risk of equipment damage due to circuit problems.
Overall, cost controlled smart meters not only make electricity payments more convenient, but also promote more energy-efficient and safe electricity consumption for households and businesses, making them an important part of smart energy management.
