Installing a meter
A meter has to be installed if you want to change the location of your meter, or want to replace a single-phase meter with a three-phase meter. It is also necessary if a new apartment has been added to an apartment building.
Installing a meter
A three-phase meter can be installed if the connection point in your apartment building has a three-phase network connection. If you want to switch from a single phase to three phases in a detached house, you have to request a transfer to three phases in order to replace the main fuse.
