Replacement of electricity meter, asbestos?
Hello!
I'm having my electricity meter replaced next week.
I wonder if this board that the electricity meter is mounted on might contain asbestos? If it does, can the electrician avoid unscrewing it and instead mount the new meter in a different location, or does it need to be removed to access cables and such?

That is not an eternitskiva, looks like regular chipboard.
The electrician hasn't been here yet. Got a message that he would come next week. Just worried about spreading fibers, there have been some mishaps with asbestos spreading in this house already so now I've become extra concerned about it.Jonatan79 said:

It is usually chipboard. The panel's function is to serve as a mount for the meter. It should be possible to screw the meter in with different placements of its screw holes. An asbestos cement sheet is difficult to screw into, and hard to make anything stay attached.
Something is a bit strange,
The meter has nothing to do with load balancing. Unless you want to use the han-port, and it exists on the meter.
And who has brought the electrician there? Is it you or the utility company?
Possibly, if the electrician is hired by you, he might want to install current transformers behind the meter, but it's not certain that the network owner allows customer-owned equipment behind the sealed area.
Current transformers measure the current and adjust the charging using load balancing for the car.
So I guess the electrician is hired by you and not sent by the utility company.
Ps current transformers can also be installed in your electrical panel above, which is the correct placement.
Hmm. The utility company might need to come and plug in an adapter in the meter so you can access the han-port.

The electrician who was here and installed the charging station said he couldn't connect the load balancing because it was the wrong meter. He got in touch with our electricity company and that's how it started. I have no more insight than that, but according to you, is this a meter that doesn't need to be replaced?H HSP said:Something is a bit strange,

It's not that the electrician sees it as a great opportunity to push you to replace the central with a new plastic central? Some electricians convince unaware customers that fuse box centrals are outdated and need to be replaced.
But sure, some electricians need drink support due to increased prices in Thailand.
