Project specification

Metering accessories: what the design sets.

A project-configured item: its ratings come from the approved design, not from a published product sheet.

The housing that makes a meter safe to install.

A base or enclosure sits between the service drop and the meter. It sets the socket or terminal arrangement, the sealing and the protection the meter relies on.

Options and differences

What the enclosure must match

An enclosure is chosen after the meter, not before it.

  • Meter form

    Socket type for ANSI meters, or terminal and fixing pattern for panel meters.

  • Service

    Single-phase or three-phase, direct connected or CT operated.

  • Site

    Indoor or outdoor, pole or wall, and the sealing the utility requires.

Application context

Where this product fits.

Typical applications for this product family. Fit still depends on the exact service, duty, operating objective and approved configuration, so treat these as starting points rather than recommendations.

Before an offer

What Metro Power confirms before Metering accessories is offered.

Four steps, in the order they happen: the evidence that identifies the exact unit, what the public record already shows, what your project must confirm, and the controlled documents that close the loop.

01Priority meter evidence package

A credible meter decision needs more than a polished front view.

Before a meter is offered, Metro Power assembles this evidence for the exact unit, from its identity through to project release. A photograph covers only the first line.

  1. 01IDENTITY

    Front, nameplate and model identity matched to the offered unit

  2. 02FIT

    Service form, voltage, current class, wiring and installation arrangement

  3. 03INTERFACES

    Terminal, communications, relay, optical and accessory evidence as applicable

  4. 04AUTHORITY

    Controlled datasheet, drawing, certificates and principal confirmation

  5. 05PROJECT RELEASE

    Terms of reference (TOR) matrix, approved configuration, test evidence and offer revision aligned

02Professional documentation

One product identity. Five controlled evidence gates.

This schedule shows what the public record supports and what Metro Power must still match before the product becomes a technical or commercial commitment.

03Configuration gate

What must be confirmed before an offer.

Exact conventional-meter configuration, approvals, test evidence and accessory compatibility must be confirmed against the utility’s current controlling specification.
