  • Holes are drilled on the opposite sides of the spindles of an energy meter to avoid creep on load.
  • Creep is the slow rotation of the energy meter's disc, even when there is no electrical load present.
  • This can result in inaccurate energy measurements and can lead to higher-than-expected electricity bills for consumers.
  • The holes drilled on opposite sides of the spindle are designed to equalize the pressure on both sides of the disc, which helps to prevent creep.
  • When there is no electrical load on the meter, the pressure on both sides of the disc is equalized through the holes, preventing the disc from rotating.
  • When an electrical load is applied, the pressure on one side of the disc increases, causing it to rotate.
  • By drilling holes on opposite sides of the spindles, the energy meter is able to accurately measure the amount of energy consumed by a consumer, without any additional creep on load.
  • This helps to ensure that the meter readings are accurate and that consumers are charged fairly for their electricity usage.
