Meter boards are intended for mounting meters. These are specially designed panels that enable easy, solid and safe connection of the meter to the installation. They are widely used in residential buildings and industrial facilities. If you are soon choosing a meter board, be sure to read the short guide prepared by the experts of the Onninen wholesaler.

How to adjust the counter board?
The board should be resistant to mechanical damage and designed to facilitate the installation of meters and various electrical devices and ensure their safety. Meter boards are adapted primarily to the type of meters they are to be equipped with. And yes:
-
meter board 1f (single-phase) is intended for a single-phase electricity meter, often found in single-family houses and smaller commercial facilities; - 3f (three-phase) meter board is intended for a three-phase meter, which most often measures energy consumption in larger residential buildings, commercial facilities and industrial plants.
There are also universal 1/3-phase boards, adapted to the installation of both single-phase and three-phase electricity meters.
Each type of meter board may have a place for security, e.g. in the form of an additional box (housing) with an inspection glass. This solution, in addition to installing an electricity meter, allows for the installation of a certain number of modular protections (usually 6-9 pieces). A special housing facilitates installation and protects devices, e.g. circuit breakers, against unauthorized access and the destructive effects of external factors. Additional safeguards provide protection against overloads and overvoltages, which can lead to damage to electrical equipment and, in extreme cases, even to fire.
Other potentially important parameters of meter tables are:
- dimensions,
- material (metal or plastic),
- presence of mounting screws in the set,
- compliance with standards,
- design/colors.
For people who want to ensure the most effective protection against unauthorized access and at the same time mask the presence of meters in the room, the optimal solution will be meter boxes (or electrical switchboards) - especially those mounted under plaster and secured with a key lock. Depending on the selected model, the lockable switchgear is designed for mounting a single-phase or three-phase meter and a specific number of protections.
What to remember when installing a meter board?
First of all, remember that the meter board is an element that affects the operation of the entire power system, therefore both its selection and installation should be entrusted to a professional electrical company. After completing the assembly and finishing works, connecting the electricity meter, fuses, circuits and power cable, it is necessary to perform measurements of the electrical installation and check the operation of overcurrent protections. The meter board must guarantee stability and safety of the connection and be adapted to installation in specific environmental conditions. It is worth choosing a product that includes all the necessary installation accessories.
