Feature · Fast Track applications

DNO Fast Track, get connected sooner.

Where Fast Track applies, CLRD routes you straight to it, automatically. Less back and forth with the DNO. Quicker decisions. Faster jobs through.

First job free. No card to start.

What it is

Where the install qualifies for Fast Track, CLRD routes the DNO application straight to it and assembles the right pack. On an SSEN or UK Power Networks SGI-3, unless export is already limited to 16 A per phase, it asks the loop impedance question before the application is generated, so you decide up front: record the reading, limit export to 16 A per phase (3.68 kW for a single phase inverter), or file as standard Type A. The last two are one click each, and any of the three stops the letter that used to arrive three to four weeks later.

Why it matters

Different DNOs have different practices, and what unlocks a faster decision varies between them. SSEN want the reading on their own form with two photographs and a published 180 mΩ threshold. UK Power Networks want the same reading with no form and no published figure, so CLRD files its own one page Loop Impedance Measurement Statement, and if they ask after the application has gone in, it goes back on the same thread with an amendment. Which operator wants what is built into CLRD, so the right thing is captured before you submit rather than chased afterwards.

Especially powerful for export limited installs, battery retrofits included.

  • Auto detected from site details. No checklists to memorise.
  • Right pack, right route, every time.
  • Captures the loop impedance readings SSEN and UK Power Networks ask for on an SGI-3, on the operator's form or CLRD's own statement.
  • Asks the question before the application is generated: record the reading, limit export to 16 A per phase, or file as Type A, the last two one click each.
  • Falls back to standard G99 cleanly if Fast Track doesn't apply.

In practice

What changes on the next job.

Route resolved first

The submission route is worked out from the job data, so Fast Track is spotted rather than remembered.

Loop impedance captured

Phase to neutral and phase to earth readings recorded against the job, with the voltage as the tester displayed it.

Photographs attached

Where the operator asks for them, the meter mid measurement and the cut-out are held with the job rather than lost in a phone gallery.

Each DNO's own requirements

What one DNO asks for is not what the next one asks for. CLRD knows the difference and asks for the right things.

Verdict where there is one

Against SSEN's published threshold the reading is judged as you type it. UKPN publish none, and CLRD says so rather than borrowing SSEN's figure.

Clean fallback

If the job doesn't qualify it routes to the standard application, with nothing to redo.
