Of course not. Those smart meters are about invigilation and control,as it would show what kind of devices you are using and when.

regardless they can't just magically draw tons of power on their own if the appliances in your house aren't (in which case your main breaker would trip first assuming it's not oversized for your incoming power line

u/ ZerroDefex You are electrican or above ? You know,I am engineer even if not electrican one and I checked few things - the problem is that IF somebody would want to do something malicious with smart meters all he needs is not-so-high but very long overvoltage without lowered amperage. This way before the fuses would break the circuit it sometimes can be too late. New fuses used in homes are not the ones which would just burn and break the circuit too, and it can be of course less safe too.

What mixed with very American cheap "architecture" including wood,paper and plywood - oh man... (yes,in Europe we have heard "funny" stories about American "architecture" - not so funny however if you would get we are mocking quality of most of American housing)

And no,absolutely this way main power line wouldn't burn,as both power line and transformer have some margins of safety,as big companies build infrastructure having in minds they might get some new clients using the same power lines.

But if of course would be hard,and definitely it wouldn't be any accident.

Other way is simply smart meter having some big battery. Batteries in all (connected to any networks) electrical devices can cause fire if for example device is hacked.Wrong (modified maliciously) loading/unloading cycles and kaboom...

Both take long time of course,like all sabotages.Doesn't matter as most people wouldn't notice.

PS: As this person claims here: https://chemtrails.substack.com/p/firefighters-caught-scrubbing-smart?r=qosm5&utm_medium=ios&triedRedirect=true

there is no Surge Protection, meaning they are continuously powered

Well if that is true...

You silly Frog, tricks are for Liberals.
