Three-Phase Multi-User Metering Panels

Overview

Three-Phase Multi-Tenant Metering Panels

Commercial retail centres, industrial warehouse units, and restaurants require three-phase power for HVAC, refrigeration, and light industrial equipment. Nairobi Power Engineers manufactures robust three-phase direct-connect meter boards accommodating up to 18 three-phase KPLC meters (up to 100A per meter).

Featuring heavy tin-plated copper busbar chambers, sealed utility CT/meter sections, transparent polycarbonate viewing windows, and segregated outgoing MCCB tenant compartments, our boards guarantee safety and compliance with KPLC commercial connection codes.

FAQs

KPLC direct-connect 3-phase meters support up to 100 A per phase. For tenant loads exceeding 100 A (approx. 70 kVA), a Current Transformer (CT) metering panel is required.

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.
