Multiple Earthed Neutral (MEN) systems when

more than one meter is used.

The MEN should always be maintained
to the electrical installation, and should
not be dependant upon the principle
meter being intact. The MEN also needs
to be accessible and cannot go on the
ActewAGL unmetered neutral link since
this link is sealed.
Reference Neutral
The drawing below (fig. 1) is the solution
to maintaining an MEN to an electrical
installation when multiple meters are
used and a reference neutral is supplied
to the meters.

Full Neutral Load
The drawing below (fig. 2) is the solution
to maintaining an MEN to an electrical
installation when multiple meters are used
and full neutral load is put through the
principle meter.
