there is no breaker attached to the meter
That's dangerous! There should be a breaker to protect the meter from overloads. Possibly, the meter might be faulty. The best thing to do it to contact your DISCO.

Thats a Mojec meter.
Try calling a professional to recertify the input and output terminals.

Please help my prepaid meter is tripping off and on.

Is there any code i can dial?

It is an Actaris ace 9000 SP meter

Mods please take to fp
It's your meter before the cutout or after the cutout? If It's before the meter, then get back to me.

That's why your meter is going on and off. If there's anything with your cutout or some partial contact, the meter would go off. Notice if you remove the "fuse", the light goes off? That's a wrong connection. I don't know why your DISCO allowed that.

Firsts, what's the maker is your meter.
I'll suggest you change the breaker of that meter cos that's main thing that causes a meter to trip off but if it persists , you'll need to change/rerun your connection. It'll definitely stop. If you need any more assistance, do not hesitate to call or send me a WhatsApp message on 08066657473
Good evening
What could be the problem when a Hexing prepaid meter trips three times in one minute every one hour?

This happens too immediately power supply is restored, it will equally trip three times.
If you have bulbs on in the house. You see it going almost off and on three times be before stability is restored which will repeat again in another one hour. All other electronic appliance like television dvd, freezer switches off sometimes during the first trip off, if they survive the first trip off, they don't survive the second and third trip off.

I checked the meter one day when this happens, I found out the connector symbol or indicator opens during the three trip off and after before closing back again.

That's why it is misbehaving. A directive has been given since last year for customer to upgrade meter. I can send you a link where u can input Ur meter number and general the kct code to input on Ur meter.

If at the long run Ur meter still didn't work well, go and complain at their office..
Good evening please help since you are familiar with Ibadan electric.

My name is Frank, ARMESE installer.what is happening to the meter is simple.the neutral wire on the pole is arcing, there by opening the relay.
What u need to do is to look for an electrician to check the wires on the pole and possibly reconnect the neutral wire.
Hello bro. My new meter was not installed in the appropriate place. It was supposed to be two meter away from where they placed it because of rain. Can electrician help me move it to a better place just two meter away from rain because I heard if it is moved it might lock. Thanks for your response.

Trust me, no solution. When that of our meeting house started doing the same thing, they took it away twice and returned it, still the same. That was after we have collected tamper codes tired! Last last, we found a way around it. That was like four 5 or more years ago
How did you find a way around it?
