Weatherproof Type 3R enclosure protects a robust 1‑phase meter socket in exposed outdoor and underground environments, reducing weather‑related service interruptions and extending field life. The 400 A current rating supports large loads while maintaining safe, controlled connections in towers, substations, or curbside enclosures. In practical terms, it translates to fewer site visits for re-termination and fewer parts replacements over the equipment’s lifetime. The compact footprint also assists with space-constrained installations in utility closets or cabinet bays used for power management. Equipped with test switches, this unit enables safe, on‑site verification without removing the cover, accelerating commissioning and diagnostic testing. The integrated 300:5 CT ratio simplifies metering wiring by providing the correct secondary burden and reducing field calibration steps. This translates to faster project turnover and more reliable energy data for demand management and billing accuracy. With 120/240 V single‑phase operation, it aligns with standard utility and building electrical designs, enabling straightforward integration with existing breakers and meter blocks. The standard 1‑unit packaging and 1 EA level-1 unit reduces procurement complexity and helps coordinate logistics for large-scale deployments. The unit’s Canada origin supports regional procurement strategies and ensures compatibility with local codes and installers. CSA 27716 certification and the weatherproof enclosure address critical compliance requirements for North American markets, minimizing risk during audits and easing procurement for utilities, contractors, and OEMs who demand documented safety and performance. The unit’s dimensions, including 209.55 mm width, 762 mm height, and 514.35 mm depth, support accurate space planning in new or retrofit installations. Finally, the meter socket is designed for overhead/underground applications and integrates smoothly with Microlectric labeling and ABB components, reducing part count and maintenance complexity.
