Composed of 80% overhead lines and 20% underground lines, the low-voltage electricity grid is used to distribute electricity to the house. The power lines used to connect subscribers to the network can be made of copper or aluminum. The shapes and characteristics of the conductors vary according to the applicable standards: round, sectoral, cable, multistrand, solid… All this information must be taken into consideration when connecting the network to the box in the home. In addition, the nature of the cable influences the installation.<\/p>\n

Connecting the premise to the grid<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The house is therefore connected to the grid via a meter and protections that differ from country to country. The electrical cabinet that groups these elements is commonly referred to as a meter box. The dimensions of the latter vary according to the elements that compose it.<\/p>\n

In general, the size of this box remains small and is likely to decrease further in the coming years due to ever smaller, more profitable and efficient emerging technologies. For the consumer, the small size of the electrical panel is a rather positive aspect, but this can make it difficult to install or maintain the connections between the network cables and the electrical panel.<\/p>\n

There are three emerging issues with the connection of the network to the subscriber:<\/p>\n
