Perancangan kWh Meter dengan Sistem Prabayar

Abstract

KWh-meter is a tool that serves to measure and record the energy consumption of electricity consumed by the customer. Most kWh-meter available today, especially in the residential neighborhood is still a conventional kWh-meter. Society in general does not understand how the reading of the electrical power consumption stated on the kWh-meter conventional. KWh-meter measuring instrument has been experiencing growth in recent years. It was supported because of the developments in the world of digital technology. From kWh-meter limitation of conventional and rapid digital information technology, as well as to more efficiently utilize kWh-meter existing conventional raised an idea to design a kWhmeter conventional development is on the side of zoom by adding multiple unit system. The addition of multiple units of the system in the form of a microcontroller ATmega8 as the central control system, ACS712 current sensor to detect the incoming flow, and the LCD as a digital display. KWh-meter digital display will facilitate the reading and the possibility of errors reading / recording kWh-meter value will not happen again. System testing is done by giving the load on kWh-meter so kWh-meter dish on a rotating and a reduction in the number of pulses kWh-meter. Reduction of the number of pulses kWh-meter continues to run out in accordance with a load that is used.
