Smart electricity meters give building managers insight into and control over energy use. Littelfuse makes the solid state relays, microcontrollers, and cartridge fuses that make these invaluable environmental and budgeting tools work. From magnetic sensors that control meter access to ESD protection devices that prevent shocks and shorts due to human–machine interactions, we deliver solutions.

Helping to extend the Life of an eMeter
Success Story
Helping to extend the Life of an eMeter
The aging and degradation of conventional MOVs can lead to catastrophic failure, smoke, and fire. That’s why a leading utility made the stitch to thermally protected varistors from Littelfuse. In contrast to typical MOVs, this TMOV enhances the safety and extends smart meter reliability.
