Electricity bill: Electricity has become an important part of our daily life today, but continuously increasing electricity bills often become a matter of concern. In such a situation, some people find ways to reduce electricity bill by applying magnets in meters. However, this method is not only wrong but also completely illegal and dangerous.
Truth of applying magnets in meters:
Modern digital and smart electric meters are protected from magnetic interfaces. The magnet could have a slight impact on the old -fashioned meters, but now the technology of the meter is so developed that there is no change in the bill by applying the magnet.
The reality is that the electric meter works from the electromagnetic field, which is far more powerful than the magnetic field of the magnet. Therefore, applying a magnet on the meter reading does not matter.
Legal action and fine:
Tampering the electric meter is a serious offense under Indian law, which is considered to be power theft. The electricity department has special equipment to identify such tampering. Caught can impose heavy fines and can also be sentenced to jail from 6 months to 5 years.
Security hazards:
The meter tampering can cause electricity supply disturbances, causing incidents such as short circuit or fire. High power magnets can also damage your electronic equipment and health.
Safe ways to save electricity:
- Use Energy Efficient devices such as LED bulbs, smart thermostat and power saving devices.
- Keep non-essential lights and machines closed.
- Regularly get the electricity department checked the meter.
- Contact the department immediately if there is an irregularity in the electricity bill.
Use safe and legal methods to save electricity bills. Avoid power theft or illegal methods, so that you are safe from serious legal and safety problems.
