IZCO Electricals’ experienced Level 2 electricians provide MPD installation services for residential and commercial properties. The meter protection device is crucial for safeguarding electricity meters during system trips and offers individual circuit protection.
Furthermore, when multiple meters are present within a property, the installation ensures that one meter can be worked upon without affecting others. Our comprehensive level 2 electrical services cover the efficient installation of MPDs in any property, ensuring reliable and safe electricity management.
What is a Meter Protection Device?
The MPD device is installed alongside a new or upgraded meter. Electricity meters need replacement or upgrade every 10 years, making it a suitable time for MPD installation or upgrade.
MPDs are crucial to providing individual circuits for electricity meters. When multiple meters exist within a property, the MPD isolates each circuit, allowing work on one meter without affecting others. This feature benefits commercial and residential properties with multiple dwellings – For instance, apartments.
Moreover, the MPD’s connection to the circuit breaker offers protection against electrical surges. If a surge occurs, the circuit breaker shuts off power to the electricity meter, preventing damage. Meanwhile, the other meters continue operating smoothly. It ensures reliable and safe electricity management for various properties.
Who Can Perform an MPD Installation?
Local electricity networks can perform an MPD installation service, but it is often best to contact a level 2 electrical contractor. Level 2 electricians have the necessary certifications and licenses to carry out the installation, including connecting the device to the circuit breaker and conducting electrical tests to ensure protection against surges and individual power disconnection.
Choosing a level 2 electrician is crucial as they possess the required skills and certifications and follow all rules and regulations. Proper installation of the MPD is vital to avoid electrical defects. In case of any issues, a level 2 electrician can promptly address and resolve them following the electrical defect notification and MPD-related guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can perform isolations & Meter Protection Device (MPD) installations?
Your local electricity network can conduct isolations on behalf of your meter provider. Later, your meter provider comes and installs the MPD. Alternatively, IZCO Electrical, an authorised Level 2 Electrical Service Provider Company, can carry out isolations or MPD installations privately. Our team of level 2 electricians possesses the necessary certifications, training, and experience to handle residential and commercial electrical supply networks efficiently.
What is an MPD, and why is it important?
An MPD (Meter Protection Device) safeguards electricity meters from overload and ensures independent circuit isolation, enhancing electrical safety for residential and commercial properties.
How long does MPD installation take?
In most cases, installation takes 1–2 hours, depending on the site conditions and number of meters. IZCO Electrical provides efficient and compliant MPD setup services.
Are MPDs mandatory in NSW?
While not every old property has one, new and upgraded electrical installations must comply with current NSW safety standards, requiring MPD installations for protection and compliance.
Who can request an MPD installation?
An MPD installation request is typically triggered when your electricity meter provider issues a notice stating, “We were unable to change your electricity meter due to shared fuse or isolation,” indicating their inability to isolate the meter. An accredited Level 2 electrician must install an approved MPD to proceed with the meter replacement.
Do I need an MPD for every electricity meter?
Yes. Each meter should have its own MPD to allow maintenance or isolation without disrupting power to other circuits.
Can an MPD reduce downtime during maintenance?
Absolutely. An MPD allows electricians to isolate one meter while keeping others operational, ideal for apartment blocks, strata, or multi-tenant properties.
Does IZCO Electrical provide MPD upgrades for commercial buildings?
Yes, IZCO’s Level 2 electricians handle MPD installations, replacements, and upgrades for offices, retail outlets, and multi-unit developments across Sydney.
