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.

    The other is to have a ‘building network’ (nice guidance and pics from UKPN here) where there is a main incomer, and splits to N fuses (one per flat) then there are unmetered lines that have to be protected to prevent electricity theft ,and each flat has its own fuse holder with a dummy fuse ('red link') and then a meter.

    Mike, is there a wee typo here - my emphasis? Or is that n fuses for n flats? ?
