Non metal meter boxes can be divided into two categories, the first category is plastic transparent meter boxes, and the second category is fiberglass meter boxes.

 

The shell of non-metallic meter box is a protective shell leading to each household meter metering instrument in the national grid facilities, and meters shall be installed whenever electricity is needed. Therefore, the shell of the meter box is the protective device of the meter. Electricity meters and meter boxes are required in municipal, residential, telecommunications, electricity, rural power networks, factories, enterprises, government agencies, heat, fire and other public facilities. The meter box is generally laid along a terminal from the power facilities to the household, and each household needs a meter box, that is, a set of meter boxes, so the consumption is huge. In particular, in recent years, the state has increased its investment in power infrastructure and the development of urbanization. The state has invested heavily in public facilities. Rural power grid transformation, urban transformation and new construction of wires and cables, and the transformation of iron case boxes into non-metallic meter boxes have created a huge demand for plastic meter boxes and glass fiber reinforced plastic meter boxes.

 

PC polycarbonate transparent meter box

 

The cover of the meter box is made of imported weather resistant polycarbonate (PC), and the bottom of the box is made of flame-retardant ABS engineering plastics, which can also be called polycarbonate meter box. The transparent meter box made of this material has high insulation performance, good transparency, UV resistance, aging resistance, acid rain resistance, salt fog resistance, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, impact resistance and other properties, as well as good ventilation, rain resistance, heat dissipation and other functions, with a normal service life of more than 30 years.

 

With transparent design, transparent materials are not only intuitive, but also can timely find various abnormal phenomena in the meter box, eliminate potential safety hazards in electricity use in advance, and truly achieve the management goal of "safe electricity use, prevention first". The plastic meter box adopts the integrated design concept and consists of meter position boxes I, II, IV, VI, VIII, IX, XII, XV, XVI, XXIV and main control box. It can be installed and used in a single box, or it can be assembled and used by the incoming line of the main control box. The main switch controls the installation of multiple boxes, and the entire metering circuit is assembled in an integrated closed box. Users can separate and control, which is easy to install and manage, and can prevent electricity thieves from touching the metering volume, thus preventing electricity theft.
