| In pursuant to the Order No. P/42/2016 dated 27-09-2016 issued in appeal petition No. P/42/2016 filed by Sri. John Vilangadan, now it has come to the notice of this Authority that an error was crept in the said order. In the “Analysis and findings” part of the order, in paragraph 4 of page 8, it has been stated that “As per Clause 82 of Central Electricity Authority Regulation (Installation and Operations of Meters), “it is the duty of the respondent to check the meter and associated apparatus and to ensure any defects in the installations so as to ascertain the possibility of earth leakage”. There is a clerical error occurred due to oversight on the above portion of the Analysis and findings which has to be corrected. Hence the above portion is deleted and it is corrected as follows: According to Clause 18(2) of Central Electricity Authority (Installation and Operation of Meters) Regulations, 2006, “the testing of consumer meters shall be done at site at least once in five years. The licensee may instead of testing the meter at site can remove the meter and replace the same by a meter duly tested in an accredited test laboratory. In addition, meters installed in the circuit shall be tested if study of consumption pattern changes drastically from the similar months or season of previous years or if there is consumers complaint pertaining to a meter. The standard reference meter of better accuracy class than the meter under test shall be used for site testing of the consumer meters up to 650 Volts.” There is no other modification in the said order dated 27-09-2016 except the portion modified above. Having corrected as above it is ordered accordingly. Dated the 25th October 2016. |
