Our Projects
What is a Meter Protection Device?
The MPD device is installed alongside a new or upgraded meter. Electricity meters need replacement or upgrade every 10 years, making it a suitable time for MPD installation or upgrade.
MPDs are crucial to providing individual circuits for electricity meters. When multiple meters exist within a property, the MPD isolates each circuit, allowing work on one meter without affecting others. This feature benefits commercial and residential properties with multiple dwellings – For instance, apartments.
Moreover, the MPD’s connection to the circuit breaker offers protection against electrical surges. If a surge occurs, the circuit breaker shuts off power to the electricity meter, preventing damage. Meanwhile, the other meters continue operating smoothly. It ensures reliable and safe electricity management for various properties.
Who Can Perform an MPD Installation?
Local electricity networks can perform an MPD installation service, but it is often best to contact a level 2 electrical contractor. Level 2 electricians have the necessary certifications and licenses to carry out the installation, including connecting the device to the circuit breaker and conducting electrical tests to ensure protection against surges and individual power disconnection.
Choosing a level 2 electrician is crucial as they possess the required skills and certifications and follow all rules and regulations. Proper installation of the MPD is vital to avoid electrical defects. In case of any issues, a level 2 electrician can promptly address and resolve them following the electrical defect notification and MPD-related guidelines.

Testimonials
Fantastic!
Fantastic!
A large family in a large house needs a large air-con. Izco Electrical upgraded my power supply so we could run our new ducted air-conditioning keeping the sweat, and complaints about the heat, to a minimum.
5 Star Service
After our children moved out, we wanted to subsidise our income by converting their rumpus room into a granny flat to rent out. Izco took the nightmare of working out how much to charge for electricity out of our hands by installing a separate meter for the granny flat. Now our tenants receive their own bill and we don’t have to worry about someone else running up our bills.
Neat and Tidy Job
Our electricity bills have decreased substantially since upgrading our meter. Not only are we now charged off peak rates, but we can keep a closer eye on our usage. Thanks Izco!
Fantastic!
Izco helped me work out the cheapest method of connecting my home to the overhead powerlines in the street. A real relief to my tight budget!
Fantastic!
Connecting our new home up to the grid was a simple process with the Izco team at the helm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can perform isolations & Meter Protection Device (MPD) installations?
Your local electricity network can conduct isolations on behalf of your meter provider. Later, your meter provider comes and installs the MPD. Alternatively, IZCO Electrical, an authorised Level 2 Electrical Service Provider Company, can carry out isolations or MPD installations privately. Our team of level 2 electricians possesses the necessary certifications, training, and experience to handle residential and commercial electrical supply networks efficiently.
What is an MPD, and why is it important?
An MPD (Meter Protection Device) safeguards electricity meters from overload and ensures independent circuit isolation, enhancing electrical safety for residential and commercial properties.
How long does MPD installation take?
In most cases, installation takes 1–2 hours, depending on the site conditions and number of meters. IZCO Electrical provides efficient and compliant MPD setup services.
Are MPDs mandatory in NSW?
While not every old property has one, new and upgraded electrical installations must comply with current NSW safety standards, requiring MPD installations for protection and compliance.
Who can request an MPD installation?
An MPD installation request is typically triggered when your electricity meter provider issues a notice stating, “We were unable to change your electricity meter due to shared fuse or isolation,” indicating their inability to isolate the meter. An accredited Level 2 electrician must install an approved MPD to proceed with the meter replacement.
Do I need an MPD for every electricity meter?
Yes. Each meter should have its own MPD to allow maintenance or isolation without disrupting power to other circuits.
Can an MPD reduce downtime during maintenance?
Absolutely. An MPD allows electricians to isolate one meter while keeping others operational, ideal for apartment blocks, strata, or multi-tenant properties.
Does IZCO Electrical provide MPD upgrades for commercial buildings?
Yes, IZCO’s Level 2 electricians handle MPD installations, replacements, and upgrades for offices, retail outlets, and multi-unit developments across Sydney.

We moved into our new home because it had a large shed at the bottom of the garden, perfect for me to work on cars. But I couldn’t run my arc welder without upgrading to three-phase power. The team at Izco explained exactly what I would need to do, provided me with a free quote and competed the job when they said they would. Even installed some new power points in the shed for me while they were here. I would highly recommend Izco Electrical to anyone needing any kind of work done.
