Question:

If you put a magnet on the water meter or meter, will the water meter go slower?

If you put a magnet on the water meter or meter, will the water meter go slower?

Answer:

There are different reasons for the change of electronic energy meter and mechanical watt hour meter in the strong magnetic field. The reasons for the malfunction of the mechanical ammeter are similar to those of the electronic water meter. The electronic meter is currently used in the way, under the condition of high magnetic field is generally due to the strong magnetic field to the magnetic core of the transformer in the power circuit of the electric meter is magnetized, electric power circuit failure, not working properly, the meter is usually followed by a black screen, or other abnormal function, not the normal measurement meter. However, the new national standard has obviously been noted above, for the new national network, smart meters in this area has been added protection, and for magnetic field interference will record event records.
The landlord wants to save water and electricity and carry forward the spirit of thrift in china. A magnet will be placed on the honorable meter, saying that the old electric meter does not know the water meter and can be saved by dripping water. If the electric meter is in the home, then direct short, ha ha! Well, that's really called saving. There are 4 terminals, 1.3 short.2.4, and the electricity meter
Personal advice whether water meter, electricity to steal water after all is illegal, and generally have a record of events as the basis for the use of comfort or a little better, in order to steal a day is always on tenterhooks punishment does not use a comfortable
The conventional electronic water meter usually adopts the method of measuring the water consumption of the dry reed tube. Under the strong magnetic field condition, the reed pipe is always in the "double pull in" state and can not be measured normally. The electronic part of the water meter can not be used. But for the mechanical part is generally not affected by the mechanical part measurement generally normal, even if there are problems will take a mechanical part as the standard, and the added magnet interference, electronic parts usually have checked out interference records, may face a fine.
