FAQs
Compatibility hinges on the unit’s 1-phase 120/240 V service, 4-jaw connection, and the use of a built-in test switch. It is designed to pair with Microlectric labeling and ABB system components. Confirm enclosure Type 3R, CSA 27716 compliance, and the UPC 624871036151 for traceability to ensure a seamless fit with your existing metering hardware.
Key specs include a 400 A current rating, 120/240 V single-phase operation, 4-jaw configuration, and an integrated test switch. These features enable safer, faster testing, reduce switching losses, and support high-load metering without multiple devices. Outdoor durability is ensured by Weatherproof Type 3R, improving uptime in harsh environments.
Yes. The JS4 underground 4-jaw configuration is specifically designed for underground installations while the Weatherproof Type 3R enclosure also performs well in overhead deployments. Its 400 A rating and 120/240 V single-phase design align with common utility service drops, making it versatile for mixed-use sites.
The unit is CSA 27716 compliant, ensuring adherence to established Canadian standards for meter sockets, safety, and performance. This certification helps with regulatory approvals, reduces risk during audits, and simplifies procurement. The Weatherproof Type 3R rating further supports outdoor use in demanding environments.
The integrated test switch enables on-site verification of metering circuits without exposing technicians to live power, reducing downtime during commissioning and maintenance. This improves safety, speeds fault isolation, and lowers labor costs over the life of the installation while maintaining measurement accuracy.
