This section documents meter changes, load calculations, and supply connection details. Accurate job details are essential for network operator records, billing accuracy, and grid capacity management.

​
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:
  • 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
