1. Product Overview
The Multi-Unit Steel Meter Panel Board is a heavy-duty, centralized metering enclosure engineered for multi-tenant residential and commercial buildings. Available in configurations for 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, and 25 units, this steel panel board houses energy meters (including prepaid QR code meters) in a single, secure cabinet. Built with thick, powder-coated steel plates and available in both surface and flush mount versions, it offers customizable layouts, component selection, and non-standard designs to meet specific project requirements.
With pre-wired busbars, dedicated circuit breaker sections, and clear meter labeling, the panel board simplifies installation and maintenance. It is widely used in apartment buildings, office complexes, shopping malls, and multi-family housing, providing a safe, organized solution for centralized electricity metering.
2. Key Features

4. Working Principle
The meter panel board acts as a centralized hub for electricity metering and distribution:
- Main Power Input: The main utility power supply is connected to the primary breaker section.
- Distribution to Units: Power is distributed through internal busbars to each individual meter compartment.
- Metering & Load Control: Each tenant’s energy meter measures power consumption, with corresponding circuit breakers for their load circuits.
- Tamper Prevention: The locked enclosure prevents unauthorized access to meter connections and wiring.
5. Applications
- Residential Buildings: Apartment complexes, multi-family housing, and condominiums.
- Commercial Facilities: Office buildings, retail malls, and shopping centers.
- Rental Properties: Student housing, shared accommodations, and multi-tenant offices.
- Public Facilities: Government buildings, community centers, and municipal housing projects.
- Custom Projects: Industrial parks, mixed-use developments, and special-purpose buildings.
6. Installation & Operation Instructions
- Location Selection: Install the meter panel board in a dry, well-ventilated, accessible indoor area, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Mounting:
- Surface Mount: Secure the board to the wall using the pre-drilled mounting holes.
- Flush Mount: Recess the board into the wall cavity, ensuring the front panel is flush with the wall surface.
- Wiring:
- Connect the main utility power supply to the primary breaker section.
- Install each energy meter in its designated compartment and connect the tenant load circuits.
- Ensure all busbar and terminal connections are tightened to the manufacturer’s recommended torque.
- Verification: Energize the system and verify each meter is operational, with no signs of overheating or loose connections.
- Security: Install locks on the panel board to prevent tampering.
7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How do I choose the right capacity?
Select the number of units based on the number of tenants or circuits you need to meter. Always add 10–20% extra capacity for future expansion. For example, a 12-unit building would typically use a 15-unit board.
Q2: Can I use prepaid QR code meters with this panel?
Yes, the meter compartments are designed to fit standard and prepaid QR code meters. We can also customize the layout to accommodate specific meter models.
Q3: What is the difference between surface and flush mount?
- Surface mount: The board sits on the wall, ideal for retrofits and existing buildings.
- Flush mount: The board is recessed into the wall for a clean, built-in look, common in new construction.
Q4: Can I customize the layout or size?
Yes, we offer full customization, including non-standard sizes, layout configurations, and component selection to meet your project’s specific requirements.
Q5: Is the panel lockable?
Yes, the door can be fitted with locks to prevent unauthorized access and tampering with meter readings or wiring.
Q6: Does the panel come pre-wired?
Standard models include factory-prepared busbars and terminals, but full pre-wiring with meters and breakers can be customized upon request.
