Important changes to single phase and polyphase metering

14 September
Urgent advice to electrical contractors: Power and Water has been notified by its supplier that plug-in single phase induction disc meters will no longer be manufactured, effective immediately.
 

The majority of the Australian metering market uses the bottom-connect single phase and three phase meters. Increasingly the electronic meter is replacing the induction disc meter, the exception to this will be the plug-in prepayment meter in remote communities. Plug-in prepayment meters are a bottom-connect meter modified in Australia to plug-in. At this stage Power and Water shall continue with this meter but only in remote communities.

Power and Water will amend the Meter Manual to include information on the installation of bottom-connect meters instead of plug-in meters. As this process will take time, Power and Water is issuing an information package to contractors with drawings of the most common installations they will encounter.

For more information refer to the fact sheet and the following amended standard drawings:
