Hi guys, I have a client who wants to install meters on every power circuit in order to monitor energy consumption etc. Just wondering if there is a specific method to wire up such a configuration on ring mains? As far as I can tell, I'd need to come out of the RCBO to the meter, and then have the two legs of my ring main leaving the meter. Would that not then classify the circuits as radials?

Thank you!
 
They would become, in descriptive terms, a lollipop circuit. Use 4mm out to the meter if you’re keeping the 32A OCPD.

Just note it on the minor works cert
