How to use Single Energy meter on a single pole for more than 3 power consumers. ( In villages areas )

With a single energy meter you can not measure the energy used by multiple individual consumers.

Subject to any local regulations that prohibit this, you can use a single energy meter to measure the TOTAL energy used by multiple consumers.

Connect the supply from the energy meter into a suitable fuse box, fit a main fuse of a size not exceeding the capacity of the meter, or the supply into the meter.

Fit smaller fuses, one for each consumer,  An RCD or GFCI for each consumer may be required and is good practice even if not specifically required. This equipment must either be reliably weatherproof, or be placed in a small hut or shelter.

If the total capacity of the fuses for each consumer exceeds the capacity of the main fuse, then this might be acceptable if all consumers dont use the maximum at the same time.

Follow whatever regulations are applicable in your locality. In the absence of any such regulations follow accepted good practice regarding cable sizes etc.

Best of luck in dividing the bill among multiple consumers.

What is the main supply fuse rating?

Thanks so much broadgage for your time and sharing this wonderful and awesome knowledge. It’s of great importance, I appreciate you so much.

Greetings Sparkingchip,  your choosing would also be appropriate to start with, just as an example  if you don’t mind.

Just depending on the number of individual consumers say 5, and when maybe they are using a few appliances for relatively low voltage input requirements.

Over ten years ago I split a 80 amp supply into four 40 amp supplies for four flats each with their own meter in an existing building and the main fuse has never blown.

But two flats have all gas cookers, the other two have a gas hob and a single electric oven. All the flats have a gas boiler for heating and hot water.

So although there are four flats it is only really like one big house.

The meters are refurbished suppliers meters like these 60 Amp Single Phase Digital Check Meter | RDL (QC4) (tlc-direct.co.uk)

This is really some beautiful information  Sparkingchip, I really needed it.

Thanks so much for sharing 

In theory you could have a multi-channel meter on the pole (in a suitable enclosure) and separate wiring from there to each of the consumers (e.g. as a random example http://www.satec-uk.com/Products/BFM136.aspx) - but in most cases it would be simpler just to use one ordinary meter for each customer.
