The issue of energy saving is very relevant for today. There are more than enough methods, including illegal ones. This article focuses on how to stop the electricity meter using a magnet. The process of installing a magnet requires increased attention and knowledge of the rules of fastening. In the case of an incorrect installation of the cylinder on the device, there is a high probability of damage to the device, either partially or in general. Such and similar errors can expose the attempt to save money and oblige to pay a fine.
Which electricity meters are stopped by the
magnet To stop the electricity meter, a neodymium magnet is used, which has a significant attraction force, which distinguishes it from all others. It is this magnet that can stop almost any electric meter. Using for this task similar magnets with similar properties( for example, a magnet from a hard disk), a special result is impossible to achieve. Installation neodymovogo magnet on the meter has its own subtleties, if non-compliance, the desired result of this installation will not be achieved. Next, the correct installation technologies and aspects to be taken into account will be considered. 
Speaking about which electricity meters can be stopped by the neodymium magnet , , one should keep in mind that induction electric meters are stopped by a magnet without any difficulties. The problem arises with electronic counters. Such counters can be stopped only if they are hybrid. In this case, the counting mechanism in them is mechanical, which can be stopped by a magnet. Electronic counters with a liquid crystal display practically can not be stopped. In some cases, when using neodymium magnets of large sizes, LCD display counters can be slowed down by approximately 10%.In addition, if there is a pulsed power supply in the electronic meter, a powerful magnetic field can disable it, which is why the electricity bill is stopped altogether.
Rules for securing the magnet
- Given the power of the magnet, it should be corrected that it can deform the meter body. Therefore, first you need to decide which magnet to stop the counter. The force of its attraction should be sufficient to stop the counting, and not too great for the safety of the device. In any case, before installation, the magnet should be wrapped in a dense cloth.
- Without going far from the first rule, let's consider what kind of magnet is needed to stop the electricity meter. Magnets weighing between 60 and 100 kilograms are used for single-phase and three-phase meters, respectively.
- In order to stop or slow down the disk in induction counters, the magnet is usually placed above the dial. But to know exactly where to place the magnet on the electricity meter is impossible. Therefore, there is a possibility that the installation of a magnet on top of the dial may not yield any results. In this case, the effective location of the magnet must be sought experimentally.
- Sometimes there is a possibility of a strong distortion of the counting mechanism when the magnet is applied from above. And if the racks with which the counting mechanism is fixed, will break, the result of energy saving will be zero, if not negative. Such an electric meter with broken racks will no longer function normally. Therefore, when applying the magnet from above, one should pay attention to the behavior of the counting mechanism. If you find a strong slope, you need to change the location of the magnet. Most often, the skewness is minimal, if you place the magnet directly over the counting mechanism, on its front part.

Do not completely abandon greed. Abuse of the meter stop is very fraught. Periodically, the magnet needs to be removed in order to avoid a malfunction.
In addition, an incomprehensible object attached to the meter, without a doubt, will raise suspicion among civil servants. Therefore, attaching a magnet should pay attention to its visibility and, as far as possible, disguise it.
It is also possible to jam the induction disc after removing the magnet. In this case, a gentle tapping on the body by hand will help.
In order for the magnet not to collect garbage and it was easier to work with it, turn it around.
Stop the meter Mercury
As an example, consider the installation of a neodymium magnet on such meters as Mercury models 201, 202 and 203. The stop of the electric counter NIK 2102 is also possible with a magnet.
Mercury-201 operates in single-phase networks and has high accuracy in indications. It also has built-in protection against reverse polarity, which will stop the theft of electricity. To stop this model, you need a neodymium magnet measuring 50x20 mm. Mounting is carried out on the meter body, which allows to avoid interference in the internal design of the device and bypass the protection from reverse polarity.
A similar process of stopping the meter and with Mercury-202, which also works in single-phase networks. Has the ability to connect to automatic data removal systems. In this case, you need the same neodymium magnet 50x20 mm cylindrical shape, which is installed on the body of the device.
Mercury-203 - similar, but more modernized model of electricity meters Mercury. Not only maintains a record of consumed electricity, but also maintains control of the electrical network. To stop such a counter, you need a magnet with dimensions of 45x25.Install the object on the front panel of the device, closer to the mechanism of the account.
The table of selection of magnets by the name of electric wincer
For convenience, it is possible to transfer kilo Joule / m3( kJ / m3) into an understandable collogram-force( kgc), based on 1kJ / m3 = 0.1kg. The value is calculated by detaching the magnet from a smooth steel sheet with a thickness of at least 1 cm in the direction perpendicular to the surface.
What counters stop the neodymium magnet
All induction( electromechanical) and electronic counters with a mechanical scoreboard are subject to an undefined magnet. There are reports that some completely electronic counters, a magnet slows down by 10 - 15%, information from the forums and do not have reliable confirmations. Below is a table that shows which magnet is needed to stop a particular counter.
As you can see from the table, the neodymium magnet stops both rare and the most popular models of electric meters of such brands as Mercury and Energomera, but there are exceptions.
Contrary to popular belief, the capabilities of this product are limited.
- It can not act on all electronic counters( they can be recognized on a liquid crystal display).
- It will not stop the counter, the mechanism of which consists of non-magnetic material( plastics, some non-ferrous metals, some steel, ceramics, glass, etc.)
- It is very likely to disable the clock counter( meter with a pulsed power supply).
Places and method of installation of an unseen magnet on the electric meter
As the magnet acts on the mechanical parts of the device, therefore, it should be placed in close proximity to those. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the location of the gears and disks inside the device, and also observe the safety measures.
- The magnet must be positioned across the axis of the stationary fixation of the mechanical components, but the parallel
The correct installation of the
but the mechanical force acting on this node.
- Do not install the product without a protective gasket, in order not to damage the meter body.
- Avoid sticking the magnet on metal surfaces( for example, to a box in which the meter is installed).
- Do not store the product in close proximity to consumer electronics, mechanical and electronic clocks, cellular phones, bank cards, magnetic media( devices may become unusable).
An example of the correct installation of an unseen magnet. On the disk counter, install the product from above, above the disk.
Safety Measures
The power of the magnets is high, so allowing minor errors in the process of installing the neodymium magnet on the electricity meter, you can face very significant unpleasant consequences.
- Neodymium magnets, like all metals, conduct electricity. You need to remember this by working with an electricity meter.
- Such magnets are brittle. A weak blow can crack it. And because of magnetic lines of force, the fragments will fly off at a decent speed in different directions, which can lead to injuries.
- Many items, the principle of which is based on magnetic waves, can demagnetize and fail, while next to the magnetic cylinder.
- Neodymium-based search magnets get safes and scrap metal from the bottom of rivers and lakes. When installing the object on the counter, remember this and keep other small metal objects at a decent distance. The speed with which metal objects are attracted is considerable, the probability of getting injured is very high, if you are on the line of attraction.
- Sometimes it is possible not only to stop the electric meter with a neodymium magnet, but also to cause the induction disk to rotate in the opposite direction, which will display the readings in the "plus".The chances of not exposing in this case are extremely small. Therefore, when using a magnet, you need to pay attention to the meter readings and compare them with the previous ones.
Carefully handle a magnet, it has a great attraction force, which can injure your fingers.
This is all the information that you might need in order to save on electricity. Having a suitable magnet and knowing about how and where to attach it, you can stop almost any counter, which is based on the mechanical part of the account.
