If your property requires a higher level of electricity, typically more than 76 amps per phase, a Current Transformer (CT) connection is needed. 

Why CT Metering?

Standard meters aren’t designed to handle high electrical loads. CT meters work by using transformers to reduce the current to a manageable level, allowing the meter to record usage safely and accurately. This is essential for larger homes, commercial buildings, and industrial sites.

What to Expect Based on Your Load

• 76 to 152 amps: Jemena will install a CT meter directly on your site.
• 153 amps and above: You’ll need an external CT meter, which is arranged separately, usually by your retailer or electrical contractor.

How It Works:

• CTs are installed around the incoming power cables.
• They measure the current flowing through the cables and send that data to the meter.
• The meter then calculates your electricity usage based on the CT readings.

This setup ensures your connection is safe, compliant, and tailored to your energy needs.
