Obviously a wire connection problem.
OP look for two naked wires, bite each one with both sides of your teeth.

If they don't respond then that's the fault & fix it.
If they respond then consider this an RIP to you in advance.

Sometimes you may want to sound sarcastic but end up being stupid.

Don't call local electrician to work on the meter, contact your disco. If local electrician tamper with it and breaks the seal, u will pay a huge fine.
Good advice meanwhile there are those above giving wrong advice about getting electrician.......

This happened to me recently. I ignored it at first and lost all my units. It's usually caused by short circuit. Off your electrical mains and quickly call a technician before your units get cleared odf and the switch of the prepaid meter get burnt

The circuit breaker may be bad.
Re: My Prepaid Meter Tripping Off And On by alcuin(m): 2:23pm On Mar 12
Check if the voltage is low.

I usually experience this too when voltage is low.
Re: My Prepaid Meter Tripping Off And On by Realdeals(m): 2:25pm On Mar 12
No one can solve your problem here, visit the DISCO business unit in your area.

It maybe caused by excess load also known as overlaod, how long have you been using it? It's recently installed?
Re: My Prepaid Meter Tripping Off And On by Ikpeyi: 2:31pm On Mar 12
It's the fuse inside the meter. Call a technician from from your DISCO to come and help you fix it. I had similar experience last year.

Let me give you an honest opinion, that's exactly what I'm using now.. they already configured the new meter to " trip off" when current drop and ON once the current goes up again. God knows I hate the meter. The meter does not supply low current.

Contact the DISCO that covers your location I.e. AEDC, BEDC, IKDC, EKDC etc.

Please note that you must not engage the devices of any electrician otherwise the DISCO will claim you tampered with the meter.

Make sure you make the report about the meter with a letter received by the disco's office and ensure you have an acknowledgement copy.

Be careful brother with these DISCOs my brother, their own pass police in terms of wickedness and extortion.

Re: My Prepaid Meter Tripping Off And On by yewit37486: 2:48pm On Mar 12
Okay, so you are asking mods to move it to FP so you can get solutions from anyone that can help - emphasis anyone. Hope you can see the folly in exhibiting tribalism because at the end of the day you will need people to help you with one thing or the other regardless of where they are from.
Re: My Prepaid Meter Tripping Off And On by zeyt: 2:51pm On Mar 12
