Factory prewired meter socket with a bottom-door lockout enables faster commissioning and reduces on-site wiring errors, translating to safer energization in underground service work. The 20 A, 600 V current and voltage rating supports standard underground feeder loads without upsizing equipment, lowering material costs and labor time. A Weatherproof Type 3R enclosure provides outdoor durability against moisture and temperature fluctuations, minimizing downtime and corrosion risk. The 13 jaw design and single-phase configuration broaden metering-gear compatibility and simplify retrofits with established meter stacks. CSA 27716 certification and WEEE compliance ensure regulatory alignment and responsible end-of-life handling, reducing audit risk and disposal costs. Compact dimensions and packaging information (19-1/8 in H x 11-13/16 in W x 5-7/16 in D) support fit in standard enclosures and scalable logistics, improving planning and field deployment.
