The video forEarth symbol in meter | VMC TECH,” is a tutorial in Malayalam about a common electrical issue indicated by a specific symbol on a digital energy meter.
Here is a summary of the video’s content:
The “earth symbol” on a digital energy meter indicates a current leakage between the electrical phase and the earth.
This leakage, which can be identified in the wiring between the main meter board and the distribution board inside the house, can cause a significant increase in the electricity bill. The video provides an example of a leakage of approximately 104 milliamps, which results in a waste of 17 units of electricity per month.
This electrical leakage is also a safety hazard and can lead to short circuits or fires.
The solution is to replace the faulty wire between the meter board and the distribution board.
The video suggests calling an electrician immediately if this symbol appears on your meter.
