Metering/Contractor Panels

Precision Metering & Reliable Disconnection Everytime

At DSH Cables & Controls, our contractor metering panels combine AC isolation, contactor control and MID approved meters in one practical panel. Each enclosure can be built around your equipment, connection details and installation requirements, with CT meters, current transformers, metering data and cable provision arranged so the system is ready for site work.

Metering panels – Where your electrical system requires MID approved metering, CT measurement or current transformers, we can install meters inside an isolator-style enclosure to save time on wiring and connection. This helps customers create a neat, code-conscious and cost-effective route to accurate electricity and energy monitoring, with supply options in mild steel enclosures or GRP with an IP66 inspection window.

Contactor panels – Our contactor panels give another method of isolation instead of a traditional rotary isolator. We can install contactors with a latching state momentary key switch for PV intertrip, backup generator connection or export control equipment, so trained personnel must restart the system before it can re-energise. If your installer, electrician, ICP, electricity supplier or utilities contacts require CT details, metering provision, installation practice notes or code advice, we can help shape a panel that is ready to install on site.

Panels Built Around Your Site

Contractor metering panels are most useful when they match the electrical arrangement already planned for the site. DSH Cables can build bespoke low voltage switchgear and panel assemblies that bring together meters, CT provision, contactors, interlocks and monitoring equipment in a practical enclosure configuration for the building.

That helps customers avoid a generic panel that needs extra adaptation, removal or replacement before connection. If there is equipment left from an earlier arrangement, we can remove avoidable duplication during specification and help you understand what the new enclosure should require. Whether the project sits alongside PV distribution boards, a UPS panel or AC and DC coupled battery storage, the panel can be specified around the equipment, controls and access your electrical team require.

Metering For Renewable Connections

Renewable energy projects often need more than a simple point of isolation. Where export limitation, G99 protection or reverse power relay controls are part of the design, a well specified contractor metering panel gives customers a clearer way to house the relevant control and metering functions.

DSH Cables supports custom PV equipment, PV distribution boards, G99 relay panels and export controls, so the metering panel can be considered as part of the wider electrical package rather than treated as a separate afterthought. This is particularly useful when the connection details, generation metering and control requirements need to work neatly together, with more detail available during the course of specification.

This section of the page is an article-style guide for contractors and project teams who need fewer loose decisions on site and a more organised supply of equipment for final installation, including emergency isolation needs for electricity rather than gas systems.
