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 1 Like |

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. |

No one can solve your problem here, visit the DISCO business unit in your area. |

Kennyswag: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. |

Re: My Prepaid Meter Tripping Off And On by tolue42(m): 2:36pm On Mar 12 |
Kennyswag: 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. |
Re: My Prepaid Meter Tripping Off And On by Drdreluv: 2:40pm On Mar 12 |
Jennyclay:low current |
Re: My Prepaid Meter Tripping Off And On by Wallade(m): 2:40pm On Mar 12 |
Kennyswag: 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. |

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. |
