Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why do I need to upgrade my switchboard for smart metering?

    Many older switchboards aren’t compatible with smart meters due to limited space, outdated components or lack of data connectivity. To meet compliance and safety standards, the switchboard may need new enclosures, metering provisions or upgrades to the main protection systems. Without the right configuration, your site may not qualify for metering installation. An upgrade ensures smooth integration and long-term performance.

  • How does switchboard design affect smart meter performance?

    The design of a switchboard plays a crucial role in metering accuracy, remote communication and data flow. Poorly laid out or congested boards can limit visibility, introduce signal interference or delay fault detection. We design for optimal meter placement and cable management. This improves readability, safety and system responsiveness.
