What is this LED for in this Electricity Meter?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the purpose of the LED indicator on electricity meters, specifically its role in signaling power flow. Users confirm that the LED typically flashes in correlation with the amount of electricity being consumed, providing a visual representation of power usage. Additionally, the standard installation height for electricity meters is approximately 5 feet from the ground, ensuring readability. Historical context is provided, noting that circuits were previously built to log these pulse signals on PCs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electricity meter functionality
  • Knowledge of LED indicators and their applications
  • Familiarity with installation standards for electrical devices
  • Basic electronics for historical context on data logging
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications of different electricity meter models

I'm not sure where the LED is in the photo you posted. Perhaps that dark spot in the middle.
It may indicate whether there there is power applied to the unit.

Most meters are installed so that they can be easily read from a standing position - roughly 5 feet between the ground and the bottom of the meter.
