At what height should the meter be located?

The recommended height for locating an electric meter is typically between 5 to 6 feet from the ground. This height ensures that the meter is accessible for reading and maintenance while also being positioned at a level that makes it difficult for unauthorized individuals to tamper with it. If the meter is placed too low, it may create challenges for accessibility and increase the risk of damage, while placing it too high could make it difficult for utility workers to read or service it properly. Adhering to the standard height of 5 to 6 feet helps ensure compliance with safety guidelines and facilitates efficient operation and monitoring of electrical consumption.
