NOTE: The Panel Extender can only connect breaker panels off of the same
transformer. Be sure that the SAME phases are connected to each other through the
Panel Extender. This can be done with off the shelf electrical testing equipment and by
your qualified electrician.

Figure 10 Mass Metered Building with Panel Extender Capacitive Coupling
4.2.3 Individually Metered
Typically found in apartments and condominiums, the individually metered building is
sometimes referred to as “Garden Style.” The electrical distribution will have a large
distribution area, typically located in the basement of the building, followed by one or
more areas that break off to meter banks. Meter banks are groups of meters that
individually monitor power consumption per user premise.

Installation of Powerline MU in individually metered buildings may be accomplished using
capacitive coupling or inductive coupling. The ideal way to install Powerline MU in an
individually metered building is with inductive coupling, which typically requires less time
because there is no need to create additional outlets and provides better signal
penetration because there is less area for signal loss to occur.
