3 phase energy meter wiring/connection/installation in main power distribution board Amjad Electric
Install the energy meter at a central location where all three phases converge.
Ensure proper support and alignment for the meter on a stable surface.
Phase Connection:
Connect each phase (R, S, T) to the corresponding terminals on the energy meter.
Use appropriate-sized wires and ensure tight connections.
Neutral Connection:
Connect the neutral wire to the designated neutral terminal on the energy meter.
Current Transformers (CTs):
If required, install current transformers on each phase before connecting to the meter.
Ensure correct orientation and proper wiring of CTs.
Potential Transformers (PTs):
If needed, connect potential transformers to measure voltage accurately.
Ensure correct wiring and proper voltage ratios.
Earthing:
Provide a proper earth connection for safety.
Connect the earth wire to the designated terminal on the meter.

Seal the meter to prevent tampering.
Follow regulatory guidelines for sealing procedures.
Display and Communication:
Check the display for correct readings and calibration.
If applicable, set up communication modules for remote monitoring.
Documentation:
Maintain a detailed record of connections, including meter serial number, CT/PT details, and installation date.
Compliance:
Ensure compliance with local regulations and standards during the installation process.
Always refer to the specific guidelines provided by the meter manufacturer and consult with a qualified electrician for accurate and safe installation.
Introduction to Automatic Inverter / UPS Wiring
Power failure and emergency breakdown may happen any time due to short circuit, damage to electric transmission lines, substations or other parts of the distribution system, storms and other bad weather conditions etc. In this case, emergency generator or battery backup can be used to restore the electric power to the home and other connected appliances. In some cases, it is very important to restore the power as soon as possible like in Hospital ICU, military, Intelligence and security systems & offices etc. This is where we use the generator and Inverter / UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system with the help of backup batteries and inverter.
For this purpose, we have to shows an automatic UPS / Inverter system connection and wiring to the home or office supply. We have different tutorials on UPS and Inverters wiring & installations to the home distribution boards such as manual, automatic and inverter / UPS with changeover switches.
Why & Where do we need Auto UPS / Inverter System?
As we have mentioned above that emergency breakdown and power blackout may happen anytime due to a number of reasons. In some cases, you may need a continuous and uninterruptible power supply to the connected system such as security networks & systems, operation theater & ICU in hospitals, airports, military and intelligence systems and other important electrical networks. In other ordinary cases where you face load-shedding from the power supplier, unavailability of secondary power i.e. generator, solar, wind power etc, low voltages issues, shortage of stored power in the batteries, where you need an uninterruptible power to your home, office, PC, or particular rooms and load points in home or office in case of failure of main power supply. In all those situations, you need an automatic UPS / Inverter wiring connection to the home panel board.
How to Connect a UPS / Inverter to the Home Supply System?
To connect an inverter / UPS to the home electric supply system, follow the steps below:
First of all, disconnect those Live (Line) wires of two circuit breakers from the main distribution board which are connected to the main double pole switch of those particular rooms (As shown in Fig) which you want to connect to the automatic supply (in both cases of battery and main utility power without any interruption).
Suppose, you need to connect only two rooms and their load with UPS automatic system as shown in fig. You will have to disconnect the live wires of these rooms from the main power supply distribution board. Now connect these two live wires (of those specific room which have to be connected to the UPS System) to the output of UPS through the two single pole MCBs (separated from the main panel board). Done.

Keep in mind that only the two connected MCBs (and their related and connected load) to the inverter will continue to supply power in case of blackout. To charge the Battery via inverter, connect the Inverter / UPS to the outgoing of main double pole (DP) MCB through a 3 Pin Power Plug and 3 Pin Power socket to the main supply.
Note: To be in safe mode, use 6 AWG (7/064″ or 16mm2) cable and wire size to connect the UPS to the main panel board.

Below is a given UPS Inverter connection and wiring diagram to the home supply. The circuit shows that only two rooms of the home are dependent on the UPS and Batteries as well as main supply to maintain the uninterruptible power to the connected appliances and load such as lighting points and fans etc and the other loads are fed up by utility power only. Once you get the basic idea of UPS connection, proceed to know how it works in both cases i.e. Operation of the circuit when utility power is available and battery backup as secondary power in case of power failure.
