Energy Meter for main fuse board

lamaq · 07-05-2026 07:25PM #1

I'm looking to get an energy meter installed on my fuseboard (63 amps) by an electrician. There are energy meters for 63 amps, but they all say they are 3-phase. I'm assuming I don't have 3-phase, as that seems to be rare in Ireland?

Meter I'm looking at is the Shelly Pro 3EM

have you a smart meter? if yes, they will be enabling the P1 Port later in the year

you can use these type devices:

Yes, I have a smart meter. I guess I'm wondering if it really will be this year that ESB enable the P1. Anything I can find on it seems to be that the ESB keep delaying it.

The Shelly website seems to suggest it works fine for single phase.

This might be overkill for your application but the Emporia Vue 3 can monitor up to 16 circuits plus the main feed on your fuse board, just in case you hadn't considered it: https://shop.emporiaenergy.com/products/emporia-vue-3?srsltid=AfmBOop5zcgsCduNBoDgOAQRL_HZRNVuMAP0jggISnx_aTG5AuAsUly4

I installed the refoss smart energy meter, allows me to track 6 circuits. Works very well and is quite close to what I see on the meter.
