FAQs
This meter socket is designed for outdoor use with a Weatherproof Type 3R enclosure and single-phase 120/240 V service at up to 400 A. Plan for overhead or underground routing, ensure proper mounting with compatible support, verify CSA 27716 compliance, and prepare for Newfoundland service conditions. Include the built-in test switch in commissioning procedures and confirm UPC 624871008899 during procurement.
The 400 A rating supports high-load service connections without frequent upgrades, while the 120/240 V specification covers standard split-phase utility feeds. In practice, this enables reliable single-phase metering for commercial and industrial loads, reduces the need for intermediate transformers, and aligns with typical Canadian distribution schemes, improving accuracy and response times in monitoring.
Yes. The unit is designed for overhead/underground Newfoundland installations and carries CSA 27716 validation for metering equipment. Its 400 A capacity, 120/240 V rating, and weatherproof Type 3R enclosure make it well-suited for outdoor service entrances in Canadian climates, while the built-in test switch simplifies commissioning.
It meets CSA 27716 standards for meter sockets and is supplied in a Weatherproof Type 3R enclosure suitable for outdoor service. The device is a single-phase, 400 A metering solution rated for 120/240 V, designed for Canadian electrical installations with field-test capabilities to streamline compliance and testing workflows.
The built-in test switch speeds commissioning and fault verification, reducing maintenance downtime. The rugged Type 3R enclosure minimizes weather-related service calls, lowering lifecycle costs. Its CSA 27716 compliance and standardized design support faster project approvals and predictable long-term performance, delivering measurable return on investment through reduced field visits and improved reliability.
