The rule of thumb is: one building, one transformer, one NMC-100/PPC-600. If there are multiple transformers and/or multiple electrical rooms in the building, contact Mircom Technical Support for guidance before quoting ! Multiple transformers and meter banks with no direct connection for the phase coupler(s) through a house panel will require special installation instructions if deemed feasible by Mircom Technical Support.
