Abstract: Based on collection, quantification and cluster analysis of climate and power grid load data in operation and maintenance area of electric energy meter, meter operation regions are divided by climatic characteristics and user industry are classified by load characteristics. The clustering method is validated by statistical data of energy meter fault in each region and electricity industry. Six regions are classified according to climate severity as basis for electric energy meter selection. The description and study of the load characteristics, started with seven kinds of loads which have greater impact on meter fault, facilitates research of meter fault and failure mechanism under laboratory condition. Those analyses can not only improve component selection, design and production process, but also reduce electric energy meter fault rate.

Key words: electric energy meter, climate, load, failure, cluster analysis
