Why did the prepaid meter trip? What happened?

1. Insufficient remaining power
Reason: The prepaid meter will gradually deduct the prepaid electricity fee according to the user's electricity consumption. When the remaining power is lower than the set threshold, the meter will automatically trip to cut off the power supply to prevent the user from using it without paying.
Solution: Recharge the prepaid amount in time to ensure that there is enough power in the meter. After recharging, the meter will automatically release the trip state and restore normal power supply.

2. Circuit problem
Overload or short circuit: If the power of the home appliance is too large or there is a short circuit in the circuit, the current may exceed the carrying capacity of the meter, causing tripping.
Solution: Check the circuit switch and fuse to confirm whether there is a trip or fuse. If the trip is caused by overload or short circuit, you need to solve the circuit problem first, such as reducing the power load, repairing the short circuit point, etc., and then try to restore the power supply of the meter.

3. Meter failure
Reason: The meter itself may be faulty or damaged, causing it to trip due to failure to work normally.
Solution: If it is confirmed that the tripping is not caused by insufficient power or circuit problems, then the meter itself may be faulty. At this time, you should contact the property management department or power company in time to report the problem to them and request processing. They will send professionals to repair the meter to ensure normal power supply.

4. Unstable voltage
Reason: Too high or too low voltage at home may also cause the meter to trip to protect the circuit and equipment from damage.
Solution: If the voltage at home is unstable, it is recommended to install a voltage stabilizer to stabilize the voltage to prevent the meter from tripping due to voltage problems.

5. Private access to the line
Reason: If someone privately accesses the line, it may cause the circuit to be overloaded or short-circuited, causing the meter to trip.
Solution: It is prohibited to privately access the line to ensure the safety and legality of the circuit. If someone is found to have privately accessed the line, it should be reported to the property or power company in time.
