Electricity meters within apartments

Gabriela Ileana Balas

I am working on a multi storey residential block and proposed to located the meters within the utility cupboard in apartments. Is there a standard/ regulation for electrical meters ? I would like to understand what are the requirements in terms of location, access etc.

    You should be involving your DNO in the discussion as well - they are likely to have standard designs which may help you. All too often we (a DNO) end up with a space that doesn’t really work and is slightly too small or the wrong shape for what is needed. Sharing the plan early with the DNO will also ensure their bit of the work is ready when needed. Although roughly the same, different DNOs may have slightly different requirements, so following a UKPN document in another area may not be what is needed. UKPN have made their documents publically accessible, some others have not.  

    Regards,

    Alan.
