Day/night meter

[SoulkillaH]

Hello guys!

Today a friend asked me if he can have a E7 meter fitted instead of normal meter.

As far as i know he has to ask the electricity company to do that.Am i right or he should change first the wiring and after to call electricity company?

Yes. Contact the supplier. What do they want it for?

 

[SoulkillaH]

it is possible to have everything on E7 or just the storage heaters and immersion boilers?

it is a old house and maybe is not wired for day/night meter.

You can get 4 or 5 wire e7 metres. I work for Southern Electric and fit several. 5 wire are used for a separate board supplying only staorage heaters. 4 wire changes everything over to e7.

Think your post's in the wrong place Liam, welcome to the forum.

If you start a new thread off detailing what you're struggling with I'm sure you'll get all the help you need

Thank you! I will ask for a 4 wire.

One more question,to be sure, this 4 wire meter will fit on the existing wire?

I don t need any extra wiring?

Yeah they wire the same as any normal single phase meter. Its basically a like for like swap over as far as wiring is concerned.

No extra wiring needed.
