CHAMBERS METERCARE

Chambers Metercare is an electrical engineering consultancy which offers all types of specialist technical work, both on-site and off-site, concerned with MWh and MVArh tariff metering systems in power stations. Similar work can be undertaken for sub-stations and other bulk supply points of electricity. The company is available for work internationally... Chambers Metercare also offers the service of a "friendly audit" of a chosen sample of metering systems. The audit is as strict, and as wide-ranging, as the official one, but there is no official penalty if a fault is found. The work has two aims. Firstly, the audit might find an error that is causing a generator meter to under-register; a base-load 500MW generator earns around $170M per year, so an under-registration of 0.1% might well cost the generating company $170,000 annually. Secondly, the prudent company would always wish to ensure the accuracy of its meters before any possible surprise visit by the official tariff metering..
