Research on failure rate evaluation test method of energy meter in charging pile

Abstract

To verify the failure rate of intelligent energy meter in charging pile and whether it can meet the reliability requirements in “general technical specification for single-phase intelligent electric energy meter (2020)”. Take 20 smart meter samples from four manufacturers, use the accelerated life model and carry out the accelerated test in the way of stress acceleration for a total of 4000 hours, and evaluate the failure rate indicators under normal working stress. The test results show that the single-phase intelligent watt hour meters produced by the four manufacturers can meet the reliability requirements such as annual failure rate index. The accelerated test theory is applied to the reliability life and failure rate evaluation of intelligent electric energy meter to shorten the test time, improve the test efficiency and reduce the test cost.
