Metering and Distribution Panel

A metering and distribution panel (MDP or MDRU) plays a crucial role in ensuring a reliable and safe power supply to buildings, structures, and industrial facilities. It allows you to optimize electricity consumption and conveniently manage the power supply to an apartment or house.

Functional Capabilities

The main functions of a metering and distribution panel include:

1. Metering and monitoring of electricity consumption and distribution. This allows for effective management of energy consumption, detection and elimination of system overloads and malfunctions, as well as optimization of electricity costs.
2. Safety and protection against overloads, short circuits, overvoltages, and other emergency situations. The use of specialized circuit breakers, residual current devices (RCDs), and fuses ensures reliable protection against hazardous electrical phenomena.
3. Flexibility and scalability through various configuration and customization options. This allows the system to be adapted to different needs and operating conditions in residential and industrial facilities.
4. Ease of maintenance thanks to easy access to electrical equipment for servicing, inspection, and repair.

Metering and distribution panels may also include additional devices, such as voltage monitoring relays, which allow for monitoring of power grid parameters.

Types Of Panels

There are several types of panels:

•     wall-mounted panel—mounted on the wall and suitable for spacious rooms;
•     built-in metering and distribution panel—mounted in a wall niche, which saves space;
• plastic meter and distribution panel—made of non-flammable plastic, which ensures safety and reduces the weight of the structure; suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and resistant to corrosion and UV radiation;
• metal panel—made of metal, providing more reliable protection against damage;
• incoming metering panel—designed for receiving and metering electricity and installed at the building’s incoming power supply.

Any type of metering and distribution panel features a universal mounting panel for integration with single- and three-phase meters. This simplifies installation and future maintenance and eliminates the need for additional adapters.

Configuration Features 

The panel’s design features:

• a metal or plastic enclosure;
• transparent or solid doors;
• a protective rain/dirt-shedding channel to prevent the ingress of moisture and contaminants;
• a DIN rail for mounting modular equipment;
• modular devices (including circuit breakers, RCDs, RCBOs, voltage monitoring relays, and electricity meters);
• internal wiring. 

Additionally, grounding systems, cable glands, nameplates, and other devices may be installed. The structure can accommodate a total of 12 to 72 modules. The number of modules should depend on the number of electrical appliances at the facility where it will be installed. The system has an IP40 or IP54 rating.
