How to change the circuit breaker or electric meter
First of all, it should be noted that climbing without the need for an electric board is unacceptable and dangerous! But there are situations in life when an electrician is unbearably long to wait, or there is no such thing in stock, in general. To replace the machine in the electricity meter, Energonadzor permits are not needed, but the rules of electrical safety practice are very important. In order to change the machine itself in the electric meter it is necessary:
- cut off the voltage on the electric shield, it is necessary, otherwise it will knock with an electric current - it does not seem a little;
- the shield will have to be dismantled to dismantle the old machines;
- in a convenient place screw the DIN plate, which can be bought together with the switches;
- on the plate, into the slots, slide in the double automatic machine for receiving electricity, next, the number of additional switches you need;
- wires from the point of supply electricians attach to the machine, and from it to the counter;
- according to the scheme depicted on the meter, connect the wires to the remaining switches.

Once again, it's worth recalling that changing the meter yourself, without the electrical safety group and without the permission of the service organization is fraught with penalties. The master to replace the electric meter needs a special tool, namely: a digital multimeter, a set of screwdrivers, wire cutters and electrical tape. The main stages of replacement:
- to disable the introductory machine;
- check the absence of voltage with a multimeter, or other indicator;
- we unscrew bolts on a cover of the electric meter and we remove it;
- check by the pointer the absence of voltage on the terminals;
- disconnect the wires( after marking them with a marker or in another way) from the meter and dismantle the meter itself;
- in the reverse order we install a new electric meter, correctly assembling the circuit.
After all the manipulations performed, and if everything works properly, you need to call an inspector, which will seal the new counter. Replacement of the old electricity meter by two or even three-tariffs entails the renewal of the maintenance contract with the organization engaged in supplying electricity in your area.
