Single Installation up to 16A per phase
In most instances the installation of a single SSEG unit connected in parallel with our system will have negligible impact and there will be no need for us to carry out a detailed assessment. This is called 'fit and inform'. We do not charge for this process.
The installer must inform us within 28 days of commissioning a SSEG. They can do this by submitting:
- An Installation Commissioning Confirmation form.
In accordance with G83/1 the installer has 30 days from commissioning to provide us with relevant details of the SSEG. The relevant information is:
- A manufacturer's type verification test report;
- A copy of the circuit diagram;
- A computer print out (where possible) or other schedule of protection settings; and
we recommend that the installer sends the Commissioning Confirmation form together with the rest of the relevant information.
Please click
here for our version of the Installation Commissioning Confirmation Form.
If we are satisfied that all information is correct we will dispatch a letter acknowledging the commissioning and operation of the SSEG.
The installer will be expected to provide, adjacent to the installation:
- Safety labelling at the fused cut-out, meter positiion, consumer unit and at all points of isolation within the customer's premises to indicate the presence of a SSEG;
- A circuit diagram showing the circuit wiring, including all protective devices, between the SSEG and WPD's fused cut-out. The diagram must show by whom all apparatus is owned and maintained;
- A summary of the protection settings incorporated within the equipment.
Our acknowledgement is given on the basis that the installer will comply with these requirements.
Further information is available from the Electricity Networks Association website in the form of a booklet called
A Guide for Connecting Generation that falls under G83/1-1 Stage 1 to the Distribution Network. To view the guide please click
