How do I stop the electronic electric meter?
You probably cannot.A significant reason for introducing digital power meters -replacing the older technology - was to overcome the single problematic issue of the older and venerable technology.Modern meters measure voltage, current and phase angle of current versus voltage. They are also vastly more accurate than the older technology.The issue is power factor.Modern digital meters are not fooled by bad power-factor loads.Many “SCAM” offers on the Web show how you can ‘trick’ an old-style power meter into running slower or even backwards. The principles are correct but the method very dodgy. And yes, the demos are always rigged (eg: no other electrical load in the house).Nowadays, the measurements made by modern meters cannot be fooled by such a trick.Best you find a way to reduce power consumption from the grid by researching means of creating your own energy. Then everyone wins, including your neighbors if you get serious about such a project.Good luck.
Why would electrical voltage in my house fluctuate?
A steady flow of electricity into a home's wiring ensures all of its lighting, heating, cooling and personal electronics function properly. Power fluctuations change the amount of power available for those devices to draw. Finding and fixing the cause of the fluctuations prevents serious damage to sensitive televisions, computers and other equipment.Minor power fluctuations in a home often originate at a connection in the power system, either where the home and the main line connect or at a junction in the power line. The metal that forms the connection becomes corroded over time, creating minor symptoms such as flickering lights, especially when wind causes the power line to sway or move. If the corrosion is in the power line, then the power company must repair it at its cost.Wiring IssuesImproperly designed wiring leaves a home with less electricity than needed, or it allows ungrounded outlets to leak electricity and cause hard-to-solve power fluctuation problems. Wiring also can become disconnected or damaged by insects and other animals that nest in walls. Problems with the home's wiring create fluctuations when energy draw increases. A qualified electrician has equipment to locate the problem and repair the wiring without having to open all of the home's walls.Natural CausesLightning strikes, birds or squirrels on power lines and falling tree limbs all cause power fluctuations that are hard to avoid and usually short-lived. While lightning and fallen tree limbs usually lead to a complete power outage, animals or debris hanging on the lines leads to brownouts or surges in electricity. Surges and swells in electrical current often damage computers and other electronics, but a simple surge protector deals with the extra electricity before it reaches those devices.
