Meter Panels

Meter Panels

Accurate, safe, and standards-compliant metering solutions for all applications

Overview

Meter Panels are a critical part of any electrical installation — and Chadwick delivers panels that are not only robust and secure, but also tailored to the needs of energy providers, contractors, and building owners.

Our panels are designed to comply with local electricity distributor requirements and AS/NZS standards. We manufacture both main switch and metering enclosures, including those for group metering, CT metering, and sub-metering applications.

Each meter panel is fabricated with long-term durability in mind, offering easy access for installation and maintenance, and compatibility with various meter types and layouts. We can supply custom configurations for large developments, multitenant buildings, or industrial facilities with complex metering needs.

FAQs

How long does it take to manufacture a switchboard?

Lead times vary depending on the complexity of your board and current production capacity. Standard boards can be completed in 2–4 weeks, while fully custom solutions may take 6–8 weeks. For urgent requirements, speak with our team — we’ll do our best to accommodate your timeline.

Do you offer site inspections or on-site switchboard modifications?

Yes. Our technicians regularly attend shutdowns and site visits for maintenance, upgrades, or compliance modifications. We also offer thermal imaging and grading studies as part of our service options.

Can Chadwick supply switchboards for projects outside NSW?

Absolutely. We supply to VIC, QLD, ACT, and other regions nationally. Freight, crating, and delivery options can be discussed during quoting to ensure safe and timely arrival.

Are your switchboards built to Australian standards?

Yes — our boards are engineered in alignment with AS/NZS 61439 standards and built in accordance with NESMA best practices. If you require project-specific compliance documentation, we’re happy to provide it.

Do you offer spare parts or support for non-Chadwick boards?

We do. Our team can help source or recommend compatible components and provide alternatives if your original parts are obsolete or discontinued.

Can I send through drawings or specs for a custom quote?

Yes — we encourage it. You can upload drawings directly through our quote request form or email them to [email protected]. Our estimators will get back to you promptly.
