I've been asked to confirm that our site electricity meter is accurate!
Easy on a small site, but 6 cable feed,and a few thousand amps, leaves me short on ideas.
To confirm, this is the meter that records electricity usage for our bill.

Have a quote from UKPN - £10K (with us doing the trench and duct work on our property). Actually could be worse I know, but as the substation is literally across the road it is still quite pricey.
UKPN refers to ICPs who can also do the work.
Is it worth worth trying any of these, in which case...
That's a bit annoying that they don't help an existing customer out!
I can default boards for you if that helps. I had a board myself and the company that installed it locked out the NVM then promptly went bust.
No point ripping out a perfectly good alarm eh!

This little radio is 2 or 3 years old and very handy for portable DAB. I use 4 x rechargeable AA batteries. Not mains-operated. There are 3 station presets but I can't erase them or even factory-reset the radio. It will accept a new station to any preset but the memory of it is lost on...
Hi all,
I recently went to install a new circuit & when trying to obtain a ze reading at the origin (TN-C-S) I got 0.01 ohms with a pfc of >19.9kA... This is when testing from the main distribution board which is in a hut next to the building where the work took place 15/20 meters away. Anyone...
Hi there
I rent a works/creator space in an old factory and have a large industrial fan fitted that i'd like to get up and running as it becomes a sauna in summer. I've tried to wire it simply using a standard 3 wired plug in the past but it shorts my fuse box after 10mins or so.
