What should I do before a meter can be replaced?
Submit a written consent of the owner or manager of the building to replace the meter with a three-phase meter.
The work must be arranged as outlined in the standard technical inspection document and in the design, where a design is necessary. The qualified company you have chosen to do the electrical work will decide if a design is needed. You need not submit the design to us.
Some work has to be done in your meter before a three-phase meter can be installed, including:
The connecting party must prove the suitability of the electrical installation with an audit or letter of confirmation by the builder, according to the Device Safety Act.
After you have finished the preparation work we will install a new remotely read three-phase meter.
Work required if you want to change the location of your meter
Request a technical inspection document from us to change the location of a meter or build a new metering point. This will tell you if you have to get a reconstruction project for the internal electrical system.
The work must be arranged as outlined in the standard technical inspection documentand in the design, where a design is necessary.
Where the main fuse is over 80 A, you should order and submit to us notification that the electrical installation has been accepted into service along with a copy of the audit.
After you have finished the preparation work we will install a new remotely read meter.
