Installation identification and metering points

The metering points identify the installation towards the grid. The section is filled in on site, and one installation can have several.

How to do it

  1. Click "+ Add metering point". A dialog opens.
  2. Fill in the 18-digit METERING POINT ID, and the meter number from the physical meter.
  3. Choose the earthing system: IT, TT, TN-S, TN-C-S or TN-C.
  4. Choose the voltage: 230V, 400V or 230/400V.
  5. Enter the size of the main fuse in amperes.
  6. Click "Save".
The Add metering point dialog
The dialog requires 18 digits in the metering point ID. Earthing system and voltage are chosen from dropdowns.

Good to know

  • The metering point ID is the 18-digit GS1 number that identifies the electricity meter in Elhub.
  • The meter number is something else: it is the number printed on the meter itself.
  • If the installation has several metering points, you repeat the whole sequence. Each metering point becomes its own card.

Tips

  • Photograph the meter label before you start typing. Then you don't have to stand in the cabinet reading while you type.
  • The earthing system determines how several inspection points are assessed, among them earth fault protection. Get it right the first time.
  • If the main fuse is not marked, note it under Special conditions in Inspection object instead of guessing.

What if I can't find the metering point ID?

It is on the grid company's invoice and in Elhub, and often on a sticker inside the meter cabinet. If you can't get it on site, save the rest of the metering point and fill it in before you submit the report.
