Step 1 (Smart Meter On Check)

Is the digital display of your smart meter switched on?

YES

If it is switched on and showing the consumption readings, then you are not disconnected from the network. There is an electricity supply up to the meter, as otherwise the display would not be working. The cause of your power cut is probably located in your property's internal installation.

Step 2 (Smart Meter Display Check)

What text do you have on your smart meter display?

Disconnection

If the text on your meter display reads "Disconnection", then your electricity supply is disconnected due to unpaid bills or other irregularities. Contact ARMS to resolve these difficulties and request a reconnection of your electricity service. Read more information about our billing and non-payment procedures here.

Consumption readings

If the meter display is showing consumption readings only and no other words of warning, the cause of your power cut is definitely located in your property's internal installation. There is no need to contact us. Here's what you should do:

1. Make sure that the circuit breaker forming part of the meter (beneath the display) is switched on.

2. Check your distribution board to make sure that your residual current device (RCD/salvavita) and your main circuit breakers are switched on.

3. If switching on these devices does not restore your electricity supply, ask your authorised electrician or engineer to test your internal electrical installation and identify the cause of the outage.

Reduce load / Risk disconnect / Power exceeded

If you have any of these warnings on your meter display, you are exceeding the maximum load allowed for your service. Switch off some of the electrical devices you are using to reduce the load to within the applicable limits, and then try to switch on your meter's circuit breaker again. Ask your authorised electrician or engineer to review your internal installation and the electrical power it requires and if necessary, apply to upgrade your electricity service to a higher load.

Three phase connections

Applicable for three-phase connections only Is the display of your three-phase electricity connection showing "L1 L2 L3" as indicated in the photo above?

YES

If you can see these three symbols, none of the phases you are being supplied with is disconnected from the network. The difficulty is probably related to a fault in your internal circuit. Ask your authorised electrician or engineer to test your internal installation and identify the cause of your power cut.

If any of the three symbols in your three-phase meter display is missing. (for example, display showing "L1" and "L2" only) proceed to Step 4.

Step 4 (Report Issue)

If your meter's digital display is switched off and your street is not highlighted in the power cuts map, or if any of the phases of your three-phase connection is disconnected, you need to contact us to dispatch our technicians to resolve your difficulty. To report your difficulty, you would need to provide us with the account number or the meter number of your service. The two numbers are printed on your ARMS electricity bills, whilst the meter number is also printed on your meter.
