The Linky counter has many advantages, but not only! Many French people complain of recurrent power cuts…
Since their widespread installation in many French homes, the Linky counter makes a lot of noise. One of the most frequently reported issues? Frequent tripping of the meter, leading to unexpected power outages. So how can you avoid these inconveniences and ensure optimal operation of your Linky meter?
The Linky meter: a not so functional meter?
Linky meters, deployed on a large scale in France, have raised concerns among some customers. And for good reason… Many French people have reported unexpected disjunctions, resulting in temporary power outages. Although these incidents are relatively rare, they can cause concern for the French. Without surprise !
However, the Linky meter had to be installed to detect electrical overloads and short circuits. Its goal ? Avoid fires and power outages…
But unfortunately, when an anomaly occurs, the meter can trip to protect the electrical network and household electrical equipment.
Power outages can be caused by various reasons. This may be related to electrical overloads, short circuits, wiring faults or problems with insufficient subscribed power. Therefore, it is essential to ensure responsible and balanced use of electricity to avoid overloading the meter and minimize the risk of tripping.
The good news ? By adopting best practices for using electricity and by reporting any problem to their energy supplier or to Enedis, consumers can minimize the risk of power cuts and guarantee optimal operation of their Linky meter.
In effect, to avoid cuts of the Linky meter (and therefore, current), there are several best practices to adopt. To your notes!
5 tips to prevent your meter from tripping
To avoid these power outages due to the disjunction of the Linky meter, here are some measures to take.
To start, check and optimize its subscribed power. The subscribed power of your Linky meter must be adapted to your electricity needs. If it is too low, your meter risk of tripping frequently. It is therefore important to check whether the subscribed power is sufficient to supply all your electrical equipment simultaneously, and to increase it if necessary.
Also divide the power consumption. Avoid concentrating power consumption in a single time slot. For example, avoid operate all your electrical appliances at the same time, such as washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, etc. Instead, distribute the electricity consumption over different time slots to avoid overloading the meter and thus minimize the risk of power cuts.
Limit energy-consuming devices as much as possible. Indeed, some electrical appliances that consume a lot can put more strain on the Linky meter. We therefore advise you to limit the simultaneous use of energy-intensive devices, such as electric heaters, air conditioners, hobs, ovens, etc. Also avoid plugging such devices into the same electrical outlet.
Also check the condition of its electrical installation. A dilapidated or faulty electrical installation can also lead to cuts in the Linky meter. Also consider doing check the condition of the electrical installation often by a qualified professional, and to carry out the necessary repairs if necessary.
Finally, if you have frequent problems with the Linky meter being cut off, don’t panic! Contact your energy supplier or Enedis to report the problem. They will thus be able to perform technical checks on your Linky meter to resolve the issue.
