FAQs
This ABB meter socket is designed for overhead and underground metering installations, providing a weatherproof single‑phase solution suitable for 120/240 V systems. The unit’s Type 3R enclosure supports outdoor exposure, while its 400 A rating accommodates larger loads common in industrial and commercial facilities. It is compatible with Microlectric components and field-configurable with a 200:5 current transformer ratio for precise energy measurement.
Key specs include 400 A current rating, 120/240 V voltage, single phase operation, 5‑jaw cover, and a 200 CT / 5 CT current transformer setup. The product is CSA 27716 compliant and intended for meter socket applications. The unit is designed for overhead and underground installations, with a weatherproof Type 3R enclosure to manage outdoor conditions.
The 200:5 current transformer ratio means the meter socket can accurately measure high fault currents by stepping them down to a manageable level for metering without compromising accuracy. This configuration simplifies wiring and improves energy accounting for high‑load circuits, reducing measurement error and enhancing billing integrity in commercial and industrial settings.
Yes, the unit lists CSA 27716 as a standard, ensuring regional compliance for meter sockets used in Canada. The enclosure is described as Weatherproof Type 3R, which supports outdoor deployments. The product also references a Data Sheet JS4B-200/5 for technical validation, enabling traceability and audit readiness for regulated environments.
Because the socket is designed for outdoor use (Type 3R), periodic inspection of the enclosure seals and test switches is recommended to maintain weatherproof performance. The 400 A rating and CT setup require periodic verification of wiring integrity and CT accuracy. The Canada origin and CSA compliance simplify warranty and service support through authorized ABB channels.
