Electric meter le 221 how to take readings

In accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, any residential or industrial premises must be equipped with energy metering devices, including electricity meters. Electricity supply companies use meters to monitor and record the volume of electricity consumed. In turn, the consumer, based on meter readings, can plan not only energy consumption, but also their expenses for paying for these services.

Correct charging for used electricity largely depends on the correctness of the readings taken from the meter. To do this, first of all, you need to familiarize yourself with the features of performing calculations when using various types of metering devices.

Induction meters: what are their features

Induction meters are already a thing of the past, although in some places they still remain. They are simple and reliable. They are easy to distinguish from other types of counters because they have a wheel that rotates when the counter is running.

Old style counter

How many numbers to write off

There are models with different numbers of digits: usually from 4 to 7. In many models, the last one or two digits are highlighted. This may be a regular comma, these numbers may have a different color (usually red) or different sizes. The last figures show tenths or hundredths of kilowatt/hours, therefore, when recording and transmitting to the appropriate services, they are not taken into account, since accounting is carried out in whole kilowatts.

Induction counter

It should be remembered that there are models in which the last one or two digits are not highlighted. In this case, you will have to write down all the numbers, since the design of the meter does not allow tenths or hundredths of the energy consumed to be taken into account. You need to be careful so that you don’t have to pay a huge difference.

If you are not sure that you will be able to take readings correctly, it is better to invite an inspector to your home so that he can explain and clarify which numbers should be recorded and which should not. Alternatively, you can contact the electrician who services this area and get all the information you need from him. This can even be done over the phone.

Reading process

After the meter is installed, the owner is given a certificate indicating the initial digits of the meter. By the way, they are obliged to explain how readings are taken correctly and which numbers are important and which ones should not be paid attention to. As a rule, all zeros that precede the first digit are also not written down.

Sample reading

To calculate how many kilowatt/hours of electricity were consumed, you need to know the readings for the previous month. If the meter has just been installed, the first numbers can be taken from the installation report, and subsequently the data can be taken from receipts, which are best stored in a convenient place so that you don’t have to look for them for a long time.

Nowadays, almost all subscriber services calculate the amount of energy consumed by consumers independently; it is enough to transfer the data to them. As a rule, data transfer occurs at the end of the month (on the last days). The deadlines for submitting information are set by the subscriber organization. Basically, invoices, in the form of receipts, are processed by computers, based on special computer programs. There are times when even computers make mistakes. Therefore, it is better to monitor how much electricity is consumed monthly. If this is not done in a timely manner, the error can grow into a significant amount, and companies supplying electricity pay off their debts with difficulty.

How to make calculations

To calculate how many kilowatt/hours were consumed during the current accounting period, it is enough to subtract the previous ones from the last readings. The result will be some kind of figure that will reflect the real amount of electricity.

Let's say that the last readings are 6102, and the previous ones correspond to the figure 5842, then 5842 must be subtracted from 6102 and the figure will be 250. Calculations show that 250 kilowatt-hours of electricity were consumed during the current accounting period. To find out how much you will have to pay, just multiply the number 250 by the tariff and you get the amount.

Counters that work for a long time sooner or later reset and mislead the owners. Many people believe that the electric meter has deteriorated, but this is not at all true.

Simply, when rewriting the meter readings, there is a unit in front of all the numbers, even if they are zeros. For example, before this the counter showed the numbers “9988”, and after a while, for example, “0022”. If these readings need to be transferred to the accounting company, you will have to write down “10022”. You will only have to set the unit once, and subsequently you will have to take readings as usual.

What is multi-tariff mode and its purpose?

As you know, the load on the energy system is uneven. During the day, electricity consumption is several times higher than at night (to be precise, the peak occurs in the morning and evening). In order to motivate the population, multi-tariff systems have been introduced in many countries, including Russia, taking into account the characteristics of a particular city (settlement).

The most common is the two-tariff system (day-night), and its three-tariff modification (peak-half-peak-night) is also found. The transition to such metering schemes can significantly reduce electricity costs. As an example, we give the prices for various time zones for the city of St. Petersburg (for an apartment with a gas stove).

Example: tariff table for St. Petersburg.

As you can see, the difference in price between night and day rates is slightly less than twofold. Even if you only turn on the washing machine when the nightly tariff is in effect, you can save a lot.

To switch to a two or three tariff system, it is necessary to install an electronic electricity meter, the design of which allows for such a count. As for induction modifications, they do not have such functionality.

Popular brands of meters

Electric meters “Mercury”, “Energomera” and “MZEP” have gained the greatest popularity among consumers and energy supply organizations. Below is a brief description of them.

Mercury counters

Devices under the Mercury brand are produced by NPK Incotex. Their product range includes single-phase and three-phase models. The company also produces related products. For example, software and adapters for connecting to a PC.

Of the single-phase models, the most common meters are: Mercury 200, 201, 203 and 206. Of the three-phase ones: 230, 231, 234 and 256.

Energomer counters

The Energomera company is one of the leaders in the Russian market of electricity metering devices. It has impressive production volumes. The company produces about 3 million meters per year.

Among the most common energy meters, single-phase models stand out: CE 102, CE 201. As well as three-phase ones: CE 301, CE 303 and CE 307.

Meters "MZEP"

The Moscow Electrical Instruments Plant produces more than 1 million meters per year. Among the products there are models for domestic and industrial needs. Before sale, each meter is checked by a metrological service. The company values its reputation.

Popular single-phase MZEP meters include the following models: AGAT 2-12, AGAT 2-23, AGAT 2-27M and AGAT 2-42. And for three-phase: AGAT 3-1.100, 3-1.50, AGAT and AGAT 3-3.60.

Lenelectro meters

Lenelectro is a Russian company whose products are especially popular in the northwestern regions of the country. The company's engineers are developing meters that can transmit readings to a smartphone. According to Lenelectro General Director Andrey Shuleshko, in the future it is planned to add to the devices the ability to pay for electricity through mobile devices.

Neva meters

The company has one interesting development in its arsenal - single-module meters Neva 102. The device has a width of 17.5 mm, which corresponds to the size of one single-pole circuit breaker. Such a technical solution is useful if compact assembly of electrical equipment is required.

How to correctly take electricity meter readings?

According to accepted world practice, electricity consumers must install devices that take into account its consumption and pay according to their readings. In the Russian Federation, this requirement is enshrined at the legislative level. Taking readings and calculating payment based on them is the responsibility of the consumer (owner of the device). But if, as a rule, there were no problems with induction electricity meters, then with the advent of electronic devices, many consumers have questions about taking readings. The answers to them can be found in this publication.

How to take readings from electricity meters Mercury 200, 206, 233, 230, 231, 234

The listed models have a similar interface. Control is carried out using two buttons (see Fig. 3). One, with the inscription “ENTER”, is used to select indications of various tariffs, the second, which shows a ring with an arrow pointer, is used to select a mode.

Front panel of three-phase meter Mercury 230

The procedure for taking readings is as follows:

It is necessary to set the appropriate mode, in this case “A”. To switch modes, you need to briefly press the button with the ring until a dash appears under the corresponding letter on the display (marked in red in Fig. 3).
After setting the “A” mode, the display will show the readings for the T1 tariff; to view the data for other tariffs (T2 and T3), you must briefly press the “ENTER” button. The number of tariffs is determined by the meter settings; they are made by employees of the energy company.
Information is displayed in the following format:

The procedure for taking readings from a multi-tariff meter and calculating the payment amount

Electronic models of electricity meters, unlike inductive devices, are equipped with electronic dials that display not only the consumed kilowatts, but also the date, operating time of the meter and tariffs by zone, since these devices are multi-tariff.

Depending on the model, the electric meter can be:

Single tariff. This type of metering device counts the electricity used regardless of the time of day according to a single tariff (T1);
Two-tariff. The calculation of consumed electrical energy is carried out at different tariffs, since in this case the day is divided into two time zones: (T1) day - from 7-00 to 23-00 and (T2) night - from 23-00 to 7-00. The cost of energy used at night is significantly lower.
Three-tariff. In addition to the day (T1) and night zones (T2), the electricity meter takes into account energy during daytime peak loads (T3), which are read from 10:00 to 14:00.

Data is read from a multi-tariff device as follows:

To correctly record readings from an electronic device, it is necessary to write off information separately for each time zone. To do this, click on the “Enter” button on the display panel.
After pressing, the display initially displays the T1 value data, which is written off to the electricity metering log or payment receipts.
After subsequent presses, the following readings (T2 and T3) are alternately displayed on the display, which are also reflected in the accounting documents, while the numerical data is recorded only in kilowatts, without taking into account the numbers after the decimal point.
After the output of indicators is completed, the checksum of all three modes (day, night and peak period) is reflected on the multi-tariff meter display.

The calculation of payment for the used electricity of a two-tariff meter is carried out according to the following scheme:

Meter readings for the reporting period: T1 – 000226, T2 – 000355.

Indicators of the previous month: T1 – 000120, T2 – 000280.

We recommend: How to remove the seal from a water meter

Tariff price T1 – 5.50 rubles; T2 –2.45 rub.

To determine the total fee, all data is summed up: 583 + 150 = 733 rubles.

The electricity payment of a three-tariff meter is calculated in a similar way, taking into account the readings of three zones:

Current readings: T1 – 000345, T2 – 000255, T3 – 000530.

Data for the past month: T1 – 000315, T2 – 000215, T3 – 000470.

Tariff rates: T1 – 5.50 rubles; T2 – 2.45 rubles; T3 – 4.40 rub.

Calculation: T1 = 345 – 315 = 30 x 5.50 = 165 rub.

T2 = 255 – 215 = 45 x 2.45 = 98 rub.

T3 = 530 – 470 = 60 x 4.40 = 240 rub.

To determine the total fee, all data is summed up: 165+98+240=503 rubles.

Important! If your meter has more tariffs, then all of them must be taken into account in the calculation.

Payback of the device

When switching to a two-tariff meter, you should think about payback. It must be remembered that a two-tariff device costs more than a single-tariff device. You will also have to pay for installation. However, it is not a fact that the device will last for several decades. Perhaps it will be considered unfit before it pays off.

A two-tariff meter calculates electricity consumption at night and during the day. In a way, these are 2 devices in one housing. One charges kWh from 23:00 to 7:00, and the other from 7:00 to 23:00. A separate payment is calculated for each indication. Moreover, electricity costs less at night.

Using a two-tariff device is not suitable for everyone. The greatest economic efficiency is observed among people who consume the lion's share of electricity at night. If after 11 pm you usually sleep, and the only electrical appliance that works is the refrigerator, then a two-tariff meter is more likely to lead to losses.

When and where are electricity meter readings sent?

The consumer is obliged to take and transmit accurate meter readings within the period established by the contract, usually monthly from the 15th to the 25th inclusive. In case of absence or untimely transmission of information from the meter, the energy supplying organization to which the readings are transmitted makes an accrual according to the information available in the system, while the average statistical data on energy consumption for the last six months is taken into account.

You can transfer data taken from metering devices using any available methods:

Please provide the information included in the receipt in person to the customer service department.
Through a self-service terminal.
By phone, through the contact center of the energy supply organization.
Using the Internet, through the subscriber’s personal account.

In addition to the above, there are other methods of transmitting electricity meter readings using modern technical devices.

How to pay for water supply?

It is necessary to pay for water supply and sewerage on time. In most cases, this requires taking and submitting meter readings, waiting for a receipt and paying for services.

Data submission deadlines

Existing legislation does not contain deadlines for the transfer of data on housing and communal services that are strictly tied to the dates of the month. The “Rules for the Provision of Utility Services” indicate that these terms must be defined in the contract.

Therefore, the period for receiving information for calculating the cost of consumed resources and generating a receipt is chosen by the water supply organization or the company managing the apartment building.

Typically, the deadline for submitting data from water meters is limited to the 18th-25th of the current month. But it is better to find out information about this period from the resource supply organization

Synchronous submission of information is needed primarily for the correct calculation of indicators that will go into the “SOI” column. The deadline for submitting data for payment of utility services (including water) for December and April may be moved to earlier dates due to the New Year and May holidays.

There are many ways to provide meter readings and they depend on the company that generates the receipts.

The following types of communication are usually available and popular:

phone call;
SMS with a certain sequence of information;
filling out the form via the Internet.

If a water consumer does not provide information on metering devices on time, then the average indicators for the last 6 months will be automatically calculated. If the owner does not provide data within 6 months, then he may be transferred to standardized payment, which, as a rule, significantly exceeds actual consumption.

Payment methods for water

You can pay for water supply according to meter readings via the Internet, at a bank or directly at the cash desk of a management or resource supply company.

Paying utility bills at the bank on the last day, as a rule, is accompanied by a long wait for your turn. It's better to do it earlier or choose another method

If the consumer has a bank card with the ability to make online payments, the easiest way will be to pay for housing and communal services via the Internet.

There are several sites through which you can perform this operation:

unified information settlement center (UISC);
state portal services (GIS housing and communal services);
website of the bank that issued the card.

Everywhere you will need to register. You also need to know not only your address, but also your personal account number. After filling out all the data, the user will be transferred to the bank’s website, where he will need to complete the online payment procedure.

If this method is complex or unusual, and the bank branch is close, then you can go there with a receipt. You can make a payment either at the cash register (the bank may charge a commission) or at an ATM.

Sometimes, especially in small villages and towns where there is no bank, payment can be made at the post office or at the village council.

Induction meters

This process for old-style devices is quite simple; it is enough to rewrite the information from the mechanical indicator, where the numbers display the total amount of electricity consumption over the entire period of operation of the device. After this, the readings for the previous period are subtracted from the resulting number. The result is multiplied by the current tariff.

The information is included in the payment receipt. Once every six months, energy companies have the right to monitor the metering device, which obliges the consumer to provide access to it.

In the figure above, the segments of the mechanical indicator that display an integer are marked in red, and tenths of kilowatt-hours are marked in blue. There are models without displaying the fractional part. The meter's rated current, voltage, and frequency parameters are shown below. By the rotation speed of the drum, you can visually assess the current load power.

Important! Tenths are not included in the receipt.

Induction devices are gradually being replaced by electronic ones due to their undoubted advantages. Let's tell you what they are.

Operating principle and types of meters

Appliances used in everyday life can be:

Mechanical or induction. Characterized by their simplicity of design and affordable cost, such devices have a fairly large error and do not allow payment at several tariffs.
Electronic. They are distinguished by high accuracy and a user-friendly interface. Available in a wide range of models.
Hybrid, often including electronic and mechanical. Used extremely rarely.

Electricity meters can be of various types.
Meters can be single- and three-phase. For networks up to 380 V, electricity meters are designed for a current of 5÷20 A. They can be connected to the network without transformers (direct connection) or through a transformer (indirect connection).

Operating principle of the induction model

The induction model includes two electromagnets, which represent the measuring mechanism of the device. They are located at right angles to each other. An aluminum disk is placed in their magnetic field. The device is connected in series with the electrical receiver of the current winding, and in parallel with the electrical receiver of the voltage.

Induction model device

The alternating current supplied to the windings of the core provokes the emergence of magnetic fluxes of variable magnitude, which induce eddy currents in the aluminum disk. They cause the disk to rotate, connected to a counting mechanism that takes into account the rotational speed of the disk. The numbers on the counting mechanism allow you to record energy consumption. The greater the load, the faster the disk rotates and the greater the consumption. Three-phase devices have a similar operating principle

Operating principle of the electronic model

The microcontrollers included in modern electronic models make it possible to increase the accuracy of measurements, and the absence of mechanics improves their reliability. Their design presupposes the presence of a special element base and information processing methods. Digital data processing has made it possible to account for active and reactive power, which is important when accounting for consumed energy in a three-phase network.

Multi-tariff electricity meters allow you to take into account the accumulated energy for a certain time of day. They are able to automatically determine the tariff being used. When figuring out how to count electricity using a meter, you should definitely remember this.

During operation, the converter receives data from a current and voltage sensor. The converter transmits the encoded information to the display, where it is displayed in a form that is relevant to the user.

Advantages of new electronic metering devices

The first glance at the front panel of an electronic device can cause some confusion. Instead of the usual mechanical indicator, there is a digital display and some strange buttons.

Electronic meter front panel

In fact, there is nothing complicated; below we will describe in detail how to take readings from various electronic models. As for their advantages, these include:

Indication of the current date and time.
Saving readings for the previous month in the device memory.
Transferring data with readings to the control center of the energy company providing the services.
Possibilities of multi-mode tariffing.
The current sensor can be a shunt, a current transformer, or both.

It makes sense to consider the last point in more detail.

Meter with built-in computer

Electronic meters are produced without a rotating wheel, with installed digital displays. Due to their versatility, they have a standard menu where additional settings are located.

The latest models of electricity meters are much better equipped. Several phases can be summed up to them. This is very convenient considering that many consumers switch to two or three tariff plans:

All additional settings allow you to find out in more detail information about consumption at a certain time of day, the operating time of the meter and data on the readings T1 and T2.

The consumer's first impression is that it will be difficult to read information from an electronic meter. To do this, you need to study the manual for the electrical appliance or consult an electrician.

In addition, there are models that do not need to regularly take readings. They are connected to a common central network and send readings to a server at the power company. And you just receive a monthly electricity bill.

The gradual introduction of two-tariff energy metering allows saving on electricity, especially in apartment buildings, as well as optimally distributing energy. But here it’s also worth considering at what hours your consumption is greater and at which times it is less. If daytime consumption is small, and the main load occurs at night, then the Mercury 230 model is perfect.

Mercury counters: varieties

First you need to familiarize yourself with all the Mercury meters that have gained popularity in our country. Let us note the fact that the Incotex company, which is a manufacturer of these units, has been a leader in modern markets for quite some time and produces not only electric meters, but also many other electronic equipment.

So, among the best Mercury counters are:

Mercury 200;
Mercury 201;
Mercury 221;
Mercury 230;
Mercury 231;
Mercury 321.

Separately, you should pay attention to the 200 series. Such units are mainly used in single-phase networks, with alternating current in the main circuit

In nominal metering, voltage is coded in volts. In this situation, electricity metering is done according to a single tariff plan.

The 201 series meters are considered to be the most popular. They have become widespread and therefore are currently used as the main installation for monitoring electricity metering not only in private homes, but also in enterprises. Such meters are the most functional; they can be not only single-phase, but also two-phase. As for the design, it is of excellent quality and is protected from any type of hacking.

An electric meter from this manufacturer can be:

Each electric meter requires a separate approach, and it is very important to know how to correctly take readings from them. The meter must be installed by a person from a special service, who will put a seal after installation

Tell me, how deep should the panels be in order to place the LE 111.1.DO counter (120x76x66) on a DIN rail? For example, is it possible to install 365 x 220 x 100 in IEK ShchRN-P-18? Thank you.

Good afternoon. Where can I see prices for your devices? I would like to purchase it, you know)) another question: do electricity meters need to be checked for accuracy (the so-called verification) after some time? And if so, then through what time? Is there a deadline when such a reader needs to be replaced, regardless of whether it works or not?

Meters with automatic data transfer

Consumers can refuse to independently transmit readings only in one case - if automatic meters have been installed. Today these are being installed.

They independently transmit all data using a special channel that was organized for this purpose.

The process of installing a meter is more complex and, of course, it cannot be done without a professional. Setting it up is also not easy. Therefore it takes longer. However, the device has important advantages:

the ability to refuse to submit testimony independently;
eliminating the option that involves transmitting incorrect readings;
the opportunity to avoid problems due to the transfer of evidence within an unspecified time frame and, as a result, the imposition of certain fines.

Therefore, if you have the opportunity and desire to save yourself from certain problems that are directly related to the need to regularly and within a certain period of time transmit readings, then you can install such a counter.

If this is not possible, then you will have to continue taking, verifying and sending the readings yourself. But it is important to do this only within the prescribed time frame. Otherwise, it will not be possible to avoid overpayment and fines.

Expert opinion

Strebizh Viktor Fedorovich, leading construction foreman

Monthly electricity consumption, recorded by an induction meter, should be recorded in digits to the decimal point on the same day, for example, the 1st of each month. If you need an explanation of unclear points, write to me!
