The electric sub metering is being applied to industrial as well as the traditional commercial and residential applications to encourage conservation and increase in productivity. These Electrical Power Meters are installed in the Apartments because they are the most widely used meters for household, offices and Industrial purposes. The main reason for such a great popularity is the Ease in Readability which is due to the use of digital methods. The ease of installation and maintenance is another factor that makes them popular because there is no requirement of expensive wiring to set a meter socket and you need to wipe off the dust from the display for maintaining them. The online availability of these meters makes them even more prominent for the industrial, office and household purpose.
These electrical power meters employ the use of automatic meter reading software. The main advantage of this software is that it can be used on the older power line, twisted pair meters as well as the new RS-485 meters. With the automatic reading system, the Tenant billing and data logging programs can also be used. In tenant billing a fixed charge is also supported that has to be paid by the tenant along with the bill rate that depends on number of kilowatt hour used. The data logging program is used to read the meter on a schedule that the user desires by logging into the database. These meter readers require Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows 7 for their operation. Because of the ease of installation, maintenance and easy readability these meters are now overpowering the old meters when it comes to industrial, household or the office use.
