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.

Famous quotes containing the word state:
“While you are nurturing your newborn, you need someone to nurture you, whether it is with healthful drinks while you’re nursing, or with words of recognition and encouragement as you talk about your feelings. In this state of continual giving to your infant—whether it is nourishment or care or love—you are easily drained, and you need to be replenished from sources outside yourself so that you will have reserves to draw from.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
