FAQs
For overhead and underground metering, ensure the system conductor sizing and protective devices align with a 400 A rating and 120/240 V single-phase supply. Use the 5 jaw configuration with the automatic circuit closing device to minimize wiring errors and leverage the CT provisioning capability when CT-based metering is required. Verify enclosure placement complies with Type 3R outdoor mounting guidelines.
Yes. The meter socket is designed to meet CSA 27716 standards, supporting regulatory compliance for North American metering installations. Its Weatherproof Type 3R enclosure further enhances suitability for outdoor use, providing robust protection against weather while simplifying documentation and audit processes.
This meter socket is ideal for overhead or underground metering in commercial and light industrial settings, especially where CT-based metering is planned or required. The 400 A rating and 120/240 V single-phase specification suit most general service entrances, while the 5 jaw configuration supports reliable connection in compact spaces.
Key specs include 400 A current rating, 120/240 V voltage rating, single-phase operation, 5 jaw meter socket configuration, and a Weatherproof Type 3R enclosure. It also offers CT provisioning for metering applications and CSA 27716 compliance, with compatibility for overhead and underground installations in Canada and the US.
The automatic circuit closing device reduces manual re-closure steps after faults, while CT provisioning supports accurate monitoring without rework. The Weatherproof Type 3R enclosure minimizes weather-related degradation, lowering maintenance frequency. CSA 27716 compliance and a robust design translate to fewer field failures and clearer regulatory alignment for procurement and servicing teams.
