Can I get some help with understanding metering?

Hi, 

Just a bit of background, I've been working for a meter operator for 3 months now, primarily assisting in commissioning meters and investigating revenue protection cases.

 

Embarrassingly there's so much I still don't know. And I've noticed your expertise and would really appreciate any simple explanations you might have to offer.

 

Specifically I just want to a clearer understanding of smets in general. What is the DCC? What's a hot shoe? When a new tenant comes in what happens to them with a tampered meter from the previous resident (Revenue Protection). How do comms hub work. Why only 1 smart meter to 1 MPAN? Just a lot of general stuff.

 

I just want to be able to feel like I have a firm foundation so I can confidently advise in metering. Would appreciate any help, thanks in advance

Wrong ben! XD

Looks like you accidentally pinged a random Ben rather than ​@Ben_OVO ! :D

If you have ​@Ben_OVO then I may have just summoned ​@Ben_OVO . If so, sorry ​@Ben_OVO . XD

Don’t worry, it happens sometimes. With over 100,000 registered users on here, there’s only so many possible Ben username combinations available. :)

But yeah, feel free to stick around and keep asking questions - or even answer a few! We can teach you a lot if you want, plus if you help out… Good things may happen...
