The project includes two verification lines of single-phase meters, two verification lines of three-phase meters, one measurement automation terminal detection line, one verification line of low-voltage current transformers, one sampling system and one set of smart three-dimension storage system.
The annual maximum metering and verification number of single-phase meters, three-phase meters, metering terminals and low-voltage current transformers is 3.68 million.
The capacity of the intelligent three-dimension storage reaches 800 thousand.
