Scenario-Based Learning for Electric Meter Fault Conditions

Sticky Needle Misread

Analog needle sticks due to mechanical wearm under reporting voltage

Overload Damage

Meter exposed to excessive current, causing coil damage or needle jamming

Reversed Polarity

Wires connected backwards, causing incorrect readings or no deflection

Phantom Load

Meter registers usage even when all appliances are off

Overload Damage

Meter exposed to excessive current, causing coil damage or needle jammming

Tampering Detection

Magnetic interference or bypass wiring causing false readings

Scenario-Based Learning for Gas Meter Fault Conditions

Stuck Diaphragm

Mechanical diaphragm fails to move properly, under reporting flow

Sensor Drift

Electronic Sensor gives inaccurate flow data due to aging and contamination

Pressure Drop Misread

Meter misinterprets low pressure as low usage

Tampering or Bypass

Unauthorized modifications to avoid accurate billing

Moisture Intrusion

Water ingress affects internal components and reading accuracy

Scenario-Based Learning for Water Meter Fault Conditions

Air in Line

Causes meter to register flow when none exists

Stuck Impleller

Mechanical Impeller jammed by debris, under-reporting flow

Reverse Flow Detection

Meter fails to detect or misreads reverse flow conidtions

Low Flow Inaccurancy

Meter fails to register small, consistent flows or leaks

Freezing Damage

Cold weather cracks meter housing or impairs internal movement

Scenario-Based Learning for Smart Meter Fault Conditions

Firmware Glitch

Software bugs cause incorrect data logging or timestamp errors

Time-of-Use Misalignment

Meter misapplies peak/off-peak rates due to clock drift

Data Packet Loss

Missing intervals in transmitted usage data

Meter ID Conflict

Two meters report under the same identifier, causing billing confusion

Load Profile Anomaly

Usage pattern deviates sharply from historical norms without explanation
