The invention relates to an electronic watt-hour meter field inspection method comprising the following steps that 1) the type of tested electronic watt-hour meters is selected; 2) the detection environments of the electronic watt-hour meters are simulated at the field of the test ground, and reference values under various environments are set; and 3) different types of the tested electronic watt-hour meters are tested under various simulated detection environments, and test values are obtained and compared with the reference values so that work error rate of the tested electronic watt-hour meters is acquired. Compared with methods in the prior art, the electronic watt-hour meter field inspection method has advantages of being comprehensive and accurate in detection and wide in adaptation range.
