How to find your connection type

You need this for the connection calculator. It's printed right on your equipment — you just need to know where to look. Takes about 2 minutes.

1. Find your meter cupboard

Dutch homes call this the meterkast. It's usually a narrow cupboard near the front door, in the hallway, or in the garage/basement of older homes. You're looking for a grey or white metal box containing your smart meter and a row of switches.

2. Count the fuses in the main fuse block

Look near the top of the cupboard for a sealed block (hoofdzekering) — don't touch the seal, but you can read it. Count how many fuse holders are bundled together:

1-PHASE one fuse Usually: 1x25A or 1x35A 3-PHASE three fuses, side by side Usually: 3x25A, 3x35A or 3x50A

One fuse = single-phase. Three identical fuses bundled together = three-phase.

3. Read the amperage

The rating is printed on the fuse holder itself — look for 25A, 35A or 50A.

One fuse, "25A" 1x25A
One fuse, "35A" 1x35A
Three fuses, "25A" each 3x25A
Three fuses, "35A" each 3x35A
Three fuses, "50A" each 3x50A
