What is the function of the switch supporting the meter box and small power distribution unit?

The switch supporting the meter box and small power distribution unit plays an important role in the power system. Its main functions are as follows:

Safe Disconnect: The switch provided with the meter box and small power distribution unit can be used to safely disconnect the current, thereby preventing the current in the circuit from continuing to flow. This is important for repairs, troubleshooting or temporary power outages.

Controlling the power supply: The switch can be used to control the power supply on and off. It allows the user or operation and maintenance personnel to start or stop the current when needed in order to effectively manage energy consumption.

Overload protection: Some switches also have overload protection that automatically cuts off the current when a circuit is overloaded to prevent wires and equipment from overheating or being damaged.

Isolation circuit: The switch can also be used to isolate the circuit and separate the circuit from the power supply to ensure the safety of the power system.

Measurement and monitoring: Some meter box and small power distribution unit supporting switches can also include measurement and monitoring functions, such as current measurement, voltage monitoring, etc., to help users better understand the status of the power system.

In short, the meter box and small power distribution unit supporting switch is a key component in the power system, used to control the power supply, ensure safety and manage the operation of the power system.
