Meter management
The meter section tracks all metering changes associated with the electrical work, supporting up to 8 meters per job.When replacing meters, add both the old meter (status: “Removed”) and new meter (status: “Installed”) to maintain complete installation records.
Adding and managing meters
1
Add meters
Click “Add Meter” to create a new meter entry. The system supports up to 8 meters per CCEW.
2
Set meter status
For each meter, select the appropriate status:
- Installed: New meters added during the work
- Removed: Existing meters removed during the work
- Existing: Meters already present and unchanged
3
Remove unnecessary entries
Use the “Remove” button in the top-right corner of any meter card to delete unwanted entries.
Meter specification details
For each meter entry, provide the following information:Identification
- Meter Number: Physical meter serial number
- Register Number: Specific register identification
- No. of Dials: Total number of reading dials
Configuration
- Master/Sub Status: M (Master), S (Sub), or N (None)
- Wired as Master/Sub: Physical wiring configuration
- Tariff: Rate code (e.g., T11, T31, T33)
Common tariff codes
Understanding tariff codes helps ensure accurate billing setup:- Residential
- Commercial
- T11: General domestic supply (single rate)
- T31: Off-peak hot water heating
- T33: Controlled load (pool pumps, storage heating)
Meter Reading: Record the current reading for billing continuity and consumption tracking.
Load and supply assessment
Load calculation requirements
Accurate load assessment ensures grid stability and compliance with network capacity:1
Calculate additional load
Estimated Increase in Load (A/ph): Calculate the additional electrical load in Amps per phase from new installations.
Include all new appliances, lighting, and equipment in your load calculation.
2
Assess existing capacity
Is increased load within capacity? Evaluate whether existing electrical service can handle additional load:
- Yes: Current installation/service capacity is adequate
- No: Service upgrade or load management may be required
Exceeding service capacity can cause safety hazards and compliance issues.
3
Document connection status
Is work connected to supply? Indicate current energisation status:
- Yes: New work is connected and operational
- No: Work awaits network operator inspection/connection
