Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can the Single Phase Three Phase Prepaid Kwh Meter handle both residential and small commercial loads?
Yes. Gomelong designs this meter to automatically detect phase configuration. For a home with single-phase supply, it works as a standard prepaid meter. For a small workshop or office with three-phase equipment, it measures all three lines accurately. The meter adapts without hardware changes.
2. How do users recharge the Single Phase Three Phase Prepaid Kwh Meter?
Recharging is done through a 20-digit token code. The user buys credit via mobile money, bank app, or utility shop. Gomelong meters accept the standard STS (Standard Transfer Specification) protocol. After entering the code on the meter keypad, credit adds instantly. No physical access to the meter is needed for future recharges.
3. What happens when credit reaches zero on the Single Phase Three Phase Prepaid Kwh Meter?
The meter’s internal relay opens automatically, cutting power to all phases. This prevents further usage and debt accumulation. A warning alarm sounds when credit falls below a preset threshold (e.g., 2 kWh). To restore power, the user simply enters a new recharge token. Gomelong meters also store a “last 3 days” usage log for transparency.
