The Alfako ALFA-TL-12,0-OZ is a professional surface-mounted meter cabinet engineered to accommodate up to 12 three-phase electricity meters. This robust enclosure is specifically designed for multi-tenant residential buildings, commercial complexes, and industrial facilities where centralized and secure energy monitoring is required. The cabinet features a durable construction that protects sensitive metering equipment from environmental factors while ensuring organized cable management and efficient electrical distribution.
Advantages
The primary advantage of this meter cabinet is its specialized design for individual sealing of each meter compartment, which enhances security and prevents unauthorized access to the metering infrastructure. The surface-mounted configuration allows for flexible installation on various wall types without the need for deep wall recesses, making it an ideal choice for retrofitting existing electrical systems. Its spacious interior facilitates easy access for technicians during installation, maintenance, and meter reading, thereby reducing operational time and improving overall system reliability.
Suitable for
- Multi-tenant residential buildings
- Commercial office complexes
- Industrial facilities requiring centralized metering
- Large-scale electrical infrastructure projects
When it may not be suitable
This cabinet is not intended for outdoor environments that are directly exposed to harsh weather conditions, such as heavy rain or extreme humidity, unless additional protective measures are implemented. It is also not suitable for installations where space is extremely limited, as the dimensions are optimized for housing 12 three-phase units.
Key specifications
- Capacity: 12 three-phase electricity meters
- Mounting type: Surface-mounted
- Security: Individual sealing compartments
- Application: Indoor electrical distribution
How to use
The cabinet should be mounted securely to a flat, vertical surface using appropriate hardware suitable for the wall material. Once fixed, the internal mounting rails allow for the organized installation of the 12 three-phase meters. Wiring should be routed through the designated cable entries to ensure a clean and safe connection. After the meters are installed and wired, each compartment can be individually sealed to comply with local utility regulations and security standards.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the available wall space for the cabinet dimensions
- Ensure the installation site meets indoor environmental requirements
- Confirm compatibility with the specific type of three-phase meters being used
- Check local electrical codes and utility company requirements for meter housing
Usage recommendations
Regular inspections of the cabinet and the sealing mechanisms are recommended to ensure ongoing security and compliance. Keep the area around the cabinet clear to allow for easy access by authorized personnel during routine maintenance or meter readings.
