MPAN State
The supply identified by the MPAN can exist in one of three states: disconnected, de-energised, live.
- Disconnected: The service cable has been removed and the MPAN will not be reused.
- De-energised: The service cable is in place, but the fuse has been removed. The meter remains connected to the distribution network, but no electricity can be used.
- Live: Both the service cable and the fuse are in place. The supply is fully operational.
These terms are by no means standardised. For example, a disconnected supply might be referred to as a 'dead' supply.
