Meters

Meter fields in an existing draft from the retired Tradie Forms NSW CCEW

Meter installs, removals, and load figures for the network. The legacy Tradie Forms draft accepts up to 8 meters.

The Tradie Forms CCEW is retired and direct eCert lodgement is not supported. Use these fields only to understand an existing draft, then complete the current CCEW in the BCNSW portal.

Meter management

When replacing meters, add both the old meter (status: "Removed") and new meter (status: "Installed") to maintain complete installation records.

Adding and managing meters

Add meters

Click Add Meter for each meter on the job (up to 8).

Set meter status

For each meter, select the appropriate status:

  • Installed: New meters added during the work
  • Removed: Existing meters removed during the work
  • Existing: Meters already present and unchanged

Remove unnecessary entries

Use the "Remove" button in the top-right corner of any meter card to delete unwanted entries.

Meter specification details

For each meter entry, provide the following information:

Identification

  • Meter Number: Physical meter serial number
  • Register Number: Specific register identification
  • No. of Dials: Total number of reading dials

Configuration

  • Master/Sub Status: M (Master), S (Sub), or N (None)
  • Wired as Master/Sub: Physical wiring configuration
  • Tariff: Rate code (e.g., T11, T31, T33)

Common tariff codes

The legacy draft includes tariff examples. Use the tariff recorded for the actual connection, electricity account or network job. Do not infer it from an example.

  • T11: General domestic supply (single rate)
  • T31: Off-peak hot water heating
  • T33: Controlled load (pool pumps, storage heating)

Meter Reading: Record the current reading for billing continuity and consumption tracking.

Load and supply assessment

Load calculation requirements

Accurate load assessment ensures grid stability and compliance with network capacity:

Calculate additional load

Estimated Increase in Load (A/ph): Calculate the additional electrical load in Amps per phase from new installations.

Include all new appliances, lighting, and equipment in your load calculation.

Assess existing capacity

Is increased load within capacity? Evaluate whether existing electrical service can handle additional load:

  • Yes: Current installation/service capacity is adequate
  • No: Service upgrade or load management may be required

If the load is not within capacity, pause and check the job, network and authority requirements before submitting in eCert.

Document connection status

Is work connected to supply? Indicate current energisation status:

  • Yes: New work is connected and operational
  • No: Work awaits network operator inspection/connection

Complete Installation work types first so meter requirements are clear before filling this section.

Installer section

Installer licence and business details.
