❓Why isn’t my meter showing up as an option in my project?

If you can see a meter inside your Component Editor but it doesn’t appear as an option when you are working on an active project design, it is failing one of these four rules:

- **The phases don't match:** A 3-phase meter will not show up if your project has a single-phase supply design. - **The current rating is too low:** The meter's *Max Current (A)* must be equal to or greater than the project's main site fuse rating. - **It lacks hybrid compatibility:** If your project design uses a hybrid inverter, the meter must have the **Hybrid** box ticked in its settings. - **It has been hidden:** Hiding a meter removes it from your dashboard view *and* completely disables it from the Electrical task selection. Check for hidden components by clicking **Filter** and toggle on 'Show hidden'.
