Talk:Meter Point Administration Number

message: I've said that the core MPAN is the last 13 digits rather than the last 11 as the last 11 are only unique within that distribution area, but the last 13 uniquely identify any supply. I've also added a section on how to calculate the check digit.
Do you think we need to say something about import / export MPANs?

message: Completely unreasonable CSD, there are hundreds of millions of these in operation in the UK, their adoption is being considered in the states, ever UK home will have one. --BMT 13:10, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The article is not a speedy deletable article; I don't see which of the criteria it would fall under. It is true that it is unsourced, though if sourced, would (in my view) be notable. However, those sort of problems need to be sorted out at an AFD. Note that "Where reasonable doubt exists, discussion using another method under deletion policy is recommended". List it if you want it deleted, source it if you want it kept, but either way, its not speedyable. --Robdurbar 17:39, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Half-Hourly meter is by NO means mandatory in these circumstances, unless the supply generates 120kVA in the 3/4 year flow.--TheEditor20 09:08, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You'll need to provide a source, there are two supporting the 100 kVA / kWh argument. There are dozens available on the internet. If you ever had worked in the industry, you would know that. --BMT 11:53, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I've now removed the Supply Capacity by Profile Class table. PC is not driven by supply capacity, as is shown by the PC table, and explained in the source of the PC table. TonyLocke (talk) 21:55, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Well, the supplied example code for the MPAN core check digit is not correct. I checked the algorithm in three separate languages against several hundred known valid MPANs today and it is most definitely not correct. Either this entry is incorrect (heaven forbid) or the entire domestic UK electricity market is incorrect. I'll find out the correct one. -- Ed, 17:14 18 April 2007
In advance of the above, I ran my large list of valid and real MPANs in the UK above against one of the algorithms in a previous edit of this section. Spot on. I work for a large electricity company so I can confirm that the edit I have made is correct and that 11 is NOT in the list of prime numbers used when calculating a check digit. Why it isn't, I don't know, but I do know for a fact that it isnt used at all.  -- Ed 20:25 19 April 2007

message: I've added in a definition of load factor. However, I think there should perhaps be a link to the 'demand factor' article, or perhaps a 'load factor' article should be created. I don't have the knowledge to do this, could an electrical engineer help? TonyLocke 12:54, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The red link to Meter Point Reference Number has been removed, and I think it should be put back. I've read the red link guideline and it seems a red link here wouldn't be out of place. TonyLocke (talk) 09:55, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The numbers on the map of DNO licences don't correspond to the DNO ids. Am I missing something, or shall I change the numbers on the map? TonyLocke (talk) 11:54, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I was about to post the same comment as TonyLocke. This needs someone who understamds these things to either correct it or to explain why it is as it is. Very confusing. -- SGBailey (talk) 10:30, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  The numbers are wrong, the image is used elsewhere, where they make sense, I think. --BMT (talk) 12:05, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  The key to the numbers is on the Distribution Network Operator page. I've transcribed these numbers into the DNO table in a 'Map Ref.' column. This is just a temporary fix as I don't understand the significance (if any) of the numbers on the map. TonyLocke (talk) 15:07, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The Export MPANs section is incorrect. It implies that Export MPANs are a new invention whereas they have been around for a very long time. What certainly is new is the extension of Export MPANs into the Non-Half Hourly market but they have been in the HH market for some time.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrphewitt (talk • contribs) 12:18, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
