Guide to NITP-14 electricity meter verification in Australia. Learn NMI compliance requirements, testing procedures and certification processes for utility meters.
National Instrument Test Procedures (NITP) form part of the legal quality assurance systems, as mandated by the National Measurement Institute (NMI). NMI works to assure accuracy verification is done for all electricity meters used within Australia for Trade Measurement or Billing. National Instrument Test Procedures for electricity utility meters is known as NITP-14. Electricity metersRead more
Electricity energy meters for use in the Australian market must be Pattern Approved, this involves a process of assessing and testing the electricity energy meter to comply with metrology conditions per NMI M 6-1.
Many sceptics thought it was impossible to achieve NMI Approval for a Multifunction Electricity Meter designed in a compact DIN rail footprint. In fact many doomsday forecasters predicted electrical switchboard enclosures, distribution boards, riser/cupboard spaces for multifunction metering would have to be increased in size to accommodate larger electrical metering to be in compliance for Energy Meters per NMI M 6-1.
One of the many technical and metrology requirements for obtaining pattern approval and verification from The National Measurement Institute (NMI) for any active-energy electricity meter to be used for trade is for the energy meter to pass the 12KV impulse test.
