Metallic Electrical Meter Box is designed for the protection of electric meters and distribution equipment, the core role is to centralize the management of electrical equipment, and provide protection against dust, moisture and external damage, to ensure that the equipment can operate in the outdoor environment for a long time.
The most fundamental difference between the two is the difference in materials and applicable scenarios, which directly determines the procurement cost and maintenance cycle.
●Stainless Steel Electric Meter Box: made of 304, 316 stainless steel, this material has corrosion resistance, excellent rust resistance, anti-corrosion performance. Can deal with long-term outdoor sun and rain, coastal high humidity salt fog environment or indoor humid places.
●Iron Electrical Meter Box: made of high quality cold rolled steel plate. Rust resistance depends on the surface treatment process, usually using electrostatic spray process, suitable for dry indoor environment. This product has become the most widely used and economical choice for indoor environment with its cost advantage and variety of appearance color options.
Take a common 12-meter centralized electric meter box as an example:
●Material and protection: stainless steel meter box with the material itself, in the outdoor wet environment of long-term rust resistance is much better than the iron meter box. If the ferroelectric meter box is used in harsh outdoor environment, its coating may fail due to aging and damage, resulting in corrosion of the box.
●Process and appearance: stainless steel meter box surface is often drawn primary color, texture is strong; The ferroelectric meter box can be painted to achieve the same color as the surrounding (such as power ash), which is easier to unify with the building environment.
●Cost and maintenance: the initial purchase cost of stainless steel meter box is high, but the maintenance cost in the whole life cycle is very low; Ferroelectric meter boxes have low initial cost, but may require regular maintenance or replacement in harsh environments.
Our factory has the full process production capacity from design, stamping, bending to welding and spraying. In addition to the standard off-the-shelf product model of format, we can also choose the installation method (open/dark), meter model and quantity, input and output line specifications and special protection requirements (such as transparent Windows, lock type) according to your needs, to provide fast customized production services to ensure that the product perfectly fits your needs.
