6.6.2 Meter Panel Compartment SpecificationsThe specifications <strong>for</strong> the meter panel compartment shall be as follows:(i) Shall be mild steel of at least 1.6 mm thick or other materials subject to approval by Manager(Meter), Grid.(ii) The meter panel shall be detachable and of a size as given in Appendix 28.(iii) Shall have a minimum depth of 100 mm between cover and base.(iv) Shall have opening(s)with appropriate bushing <strong>for</strong> the meter wires.(v) The cover shall have at least 3 hinges and be able to swing or open out at least 90 o .(vi) Facilities <strong>for</strong> sealing shall be provided. Methods of sealing are illustrated in the drawings inAppendix 29.6.6.3 Meter Installation Requirements(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)(v)The switchboard must be complete and securely mounted in its final position be<strong>for</strong>e meterscan be installed.The top of the meter panel shall not exceed 2.0 metre from the ground.A 50 mm x 50 mm trunking of metal or other approved material between the switchboard andthe meter panel Shall be provided if the latter is installed away from the customer’s mainswitchboard.A 6.0-mm tap-hole plus screw/washer on each busbar shall be provided to facilitateconnection of the voltage supply to the meter voltage coils.If the meter panel is away from the customer’s main switchboard, a sealable 3-pole gangedMCB of 6 amperes 10kA rating shall be provided on the front of the switchboard panel near tothe metering CT enclosure <strong>for</strong> the protection of the meter voltage wiring. The MCB must beappropriately labelled.(vi) Mounting of metering current trans<strong>for</strong>mers shall be as follows: -1. Current trans<strong>for</strong>mers shall be mounted on jumpers <strong>for</strong> easy installation.2. Bakelite clamps shall be provided to secure the meter current trans<strong>for</strong>mers in position.3. Adequate insulation between the metering current trans<strong>for</strong>mers and the busbar mustbe provided.4. The contractor shall install the metering current trans<strong>for</strong>mers and meter voltageconnection point after the incoming supply main protection current trans<strong>for</strong>mers.(vii)A rigid enclosure of mild steel plate of thickness not less than 1.6 mm shall be provided solely<strong>for</strong> housing Grid's metering current trans<strong>for</strong>mers and voltage tap off point. Such enclosureshall be provided with facilities <strong>for</strong> sealing. A typical construction of the enclosure is shown inAppendix 30.6.7 High Voltage Metering6.7.1 General Requirements(i)(ii)The customer is required to provide, install and maintain at his own expense, currenttrans<strong>for</strong>mers, voltage trans<strong>for</strong>mers, a pre-wired metering panel with test blocks, MCBs, pilotlamps and accessories, to Grid's requirements at his receiving high voltage switchboard.Drawings of the metering panel can be obtained from Meter Section, Grid, St James DistrictOffice, Keppel Road.All metering current and voltage trans<strong>for</strong>mers shall be used solely <strong>for</strong> Grid's revenue meteringcircuits. No other apparatus of the customer is permitted to be connected to such meteringcurrent and voltage trans<strong>for</strong>mers. A voltmeter may be allowed to be connected via a 100 mAfuse (sealable) subject to approval by the Manager (Meter), Grid.The customer shall also provide a metering kiosk to be located close to where the meteringcurrent and voltage trans<strong>for</strong>mers are installed such that the route length of the wiring from thecurrent and voltage trans<strong>for</strong>mers to the metering kiosk does not exceed 9 meters. Where thiscannot be complied with because of site constraints, the Licensed Electrical Worker shallconsult the Manager (Meter), Grid concerning the type and size of pilot cables to be providedand installed by the customer.
