Un-usual 3 phase problem

[Knobhead]

Tony, I,ve a client who is splitting an old works into a couple of ind. units with individual office units upstairs. Your info leads me to believe that each office would have to be metered individually to comply. Correct? He intends to include costs in rent which would be approx not exact.

Start this as a new thread, otherwise

Well this thread really put all to the test. The latest update is after googling my pc to death i came across this site which has given me a lifeline to recover my sanity. not the best option but not far away. 3 Phase Electric Prepayment Metering

I would like to thank all that put forward their thoughts on this one, it was appreciated, and some good points raised that i would not have thought of.

will also let you know the outcome. good or bad.

Just seen this thread but sorted out similar problem, with light industrial unit, solution via Matrix Metering this morning.
not cheap but more simple than using 3 single phase card meters 2 415v relays and a 3 pole contactor !

Coin operated timer and contactor

The maximum amount landlords or “resellers” are permitted to charge for gas or electricity is the amount they have paid for it, plus VAT at the appropriate rate

If however you are selling heat not power dose this apply

I used to hire our village hall on a regular basis. The hire fee included heating be it summer or winter.

The only thing that wasn’t included was the barman, opening the bar was extra!
