I admit, I did the Marseille! In my memory, the thing was huge. It is roughly 13cm wide and just slightly longer.

I do not strut on your approximation, I strut on my analysis which was certainly the right ... nuance!

I was recently put linky in a house in the 60s. Everything was in its juices, and I changed almost everything except the counter ...

I did not ask specifically to change the meter, which was a good old electromechanical device.

And yeah, they put it on the old original plywood panel (1960) ... : roll:

I find it a bit light, because Linky normally has a full plastic support, to install of course.

The linky heats more than an old meter ... so it must be installed in the rules ...
Not sure the stats prove you right. One in 4 domestic fires is of electrical origin, rarely because of the meter ... https://www.planetoscope.com/habitat/50 ... rance.html

And why the linky would heat up more :?:
I have an old disc meter that I put on my heat pump to check its consumption. Well, I noticed something not cool: despite the use of a 16 mm² cable, terminals tightened fully, pulling on the wires to check: I was able to remove them easily. : Shock:

In fact as it is multi-strand, I had to twist it so that it really holds. I hope that the terminals of the linky are more reliable, because at home too, I installed the linky in less than 15 minutes on the old wooden board. on the other hand the installer clamped the circuit breaker at 45 A.

How to distort my words ... what did I say? That fires at the level of old meters (with discs) are rare ... but that switching to Linky can increase this risk (if improperly installed: electricity-electronics-informatics / linky-mal-install-on-board-or-medium-Wood-REACT-before-that he-not-be-too-late-t16204.html )

izentrop wrote:And why the linky would heat up more :?:


M'enfin, because there are power electronics components in it and generally more electronics that require heat dissipation!

There are also obviously some capacitors which can wear out more or less quickly according to their quality ... a capacitor rarely lasts more than 30-40 years (and I am very nice ...) especially if it is connected h24!

Disc meters over 50 years old still exist!

This drop in reliability is one of the scams of smart meters (supposedly econological) that we denounced years ago on this forum...

Post the photo of your counter here so that we think about whether it meets safety standards: electricity-electronics-informatics / linky-mal-install-on-board-or-medium-Wood-REACT-before-that he-not-be-too-late-t16204.html

You will find here 2 photos of a linky installation on a correct wooden support: because with the plastic case which meets the standard.

It should be certain that not all Linky fires are the cause of poorly made, poorly-tightened connections or connections that heat ...

We can always say that the cause is the change of meter. It's not false.

But hey, then it would be necessary to accuse Peugeot of all the accidents having involved a car the mark ... If there had been this Peugeot at this place, there would not have been the accident. It's just as clear.

About a bad connection, I struggled like crazy to find the cause of a general disjunction when the suction of the pellets on my boiler was engaged. I was on the verge of changing the engine. Until then, almost by chance, I realized that the installer had not tightened one of the terminals of the connection of this motor on the relay of the boiler board. On switching on, a small arc formed, with overcurrent ... A screwdriver blow, and for several years, the problem has been resolved! The same on a plywood, and maybe it caught fire. We could have created a buzz: "Okofen set the houses on fire"! The fuel lobby would surely have insinuated that "pellets are dangerous"!
