Three-Phase Meter Boards

Heavy commercial direct-connect 3-phase metering boards with sealed utility compartments and tenant MCCB protection

Three-Phase Meter Boards — engineering concept

Three-Phase Multi-Tenant Metering Panels

Three-phase metering boards serve premises that need three-phase supplies for plant, HVAC and commercial equipment. The pictured Hager Australian reference provides three prewired three-phase meter positions; it is a metering cabinet rather than a main-switchgear lineup.

The utility and exact meter determine whether direct connection or CT-operated metering is appropriate. Agree the tenant currents, metering layout, neutral arrangement, protective devices and sealing details before manufacture. The reference photograph does not establish KPLC approval.

Three-Phase Group-Metering Boards

Hager VYGMV3W-3P shows an Australian prewired cabinet for three three-phase meter positions. It is a metering-board reference, not an ABB main-switchboard lineup. Revenue meters and final Kenyan utility configuration are selected separately.

Three-Phase Meter Panel Specifications

Selection itemEngineering requirement
Pictured referenceHager VYGMV3W-3P: three three-phase meter positions in an Australian prewired cabinet; meters not supplied.
Direct or CT connectionThe utility and exact meter determine the permitted direct-connected current; obtain the approved metering arrangement.
Kenyan configurationConfirm utility drawings, meter footprint, sealing, incomer, neutral and earthing arrangements before manufacture. Australian references are not KPLC approvals.
Assembly standardSpecify the applicable IEC 61439 part and verification for the actual supplied assembly. AS/NZS references show an IEC-aligned enclosure approach.
Meter supplyRevenue meters, private meters and communication modules are separately defined in the approved schedule.
ProtectionSelect current, fault performance, residual-current protection and isolation from the design; not from the photograph.

Engineering & Build Highlights

  • Form 2b internal separation between main incoming busbars, meter chamber, and tenant outgoing breakers
  • Ample cable spreaders accommodate heavy 4-core armoured cables for each tenant shop or unit
  • Specify conductor identification, terminal numbering and phase colours in the approved wiring schedule
  • UV-resistant polycarbonate viewing windows over every three-phase meter position
  • External padlocking handle with 3-point latching mechanism for heavy commercial security
  • Anti-condensation ventilation louvres with internal fine dust mesh filters

Target Applications & Sectors

Shopping malls, retail plazas & supermarket outletsIndustrial warehouse parks & logistics godownsCommercial office buildings with multi-tenant floorsRestaurant food courts & commercial bakeriesHospitality hotels & conference centresAutomotive service workshops & fuel service stations
Use the limit specified by the utility and the exact approved meter. Confirm the connection arrangement before selecting the board; do not infer a universal direct-connected current limit from a generic product photograph.
Yes. We frequently integrate Lovato Class I+II surge arresters in the incoming section to protect all downstream electronic meters and tenant equipment from lightning overvoltages.
