ABB 7TBA050280R0086 Meter Socket - CSA 27716
Part Number: 7TBA050280R0086
Quick Summary
ABB 7TBA050280R0086 Meter Socket enables reliable, high-current metering connections for industrial and utility service feeds. In practice, project teams face rugged environments and crowded install spaces that slow commissioning; this unit delivers a durable aluminum construction, a twin-cover design, and provisions for current transformers to streamline metering. The assembly meets CSA 27716 certification and uses a Weatherproof Type 3R enclosure, making it suitable for outdoor, overhead, or underground Manitoba Hydro installations. By combining robust enclosure protection with a 400 A rating and 120/240 V capability, it reduces field rework and speeds installation while maintaining regulatory compliance and long-term reliability. For engineers and procurement teams, this translates to clearer BOMs, fewer vendor handoffs, and lower lifecycle costs through standardized, field-ready equipment.

Feature: 400 A current rating and 120/240 V single-phase capability → Business Impact → Application: Supports high-demand service feeds with a single, CT-ready meter socket, reducing the need for multiple devices and simplifying protection schemes in industrial facilities and utility feeders. This accelerates commissioning and lowers initial hardware costs in utility-grade installations. Feature: Weatherproof Type 3R aluminum enclosure → Business Impact → Application: Outdoor, wet-location resilience combined with corrosion resistance enables reliable operation in Manitoba Hydro corridors and rooftop or street-side installations, minimizing maintenance and downtime. Feature: Provision for current transformer (CT) → Business Impact → Application: CT-ready metering streamlines revenue-grade measurement and data capture for utilities, enabling accurate monitoring without rework in existing CT networks. Ideal for underground/overhead service connections in large facilities. Feature: CSA 27716 certification and Canadian origin (Canada CA) → Business Impact → Application: Regulatory compliance and traceability support procurement adherence to Canadian electrical standards, reducing risk for project handoffs and ensuring utility-grade acceptance in North American markets. Feature: Aluminum construction with dual-cover design and 1 phase operation → Business Impact → Application: Lightweight yet robust design simplifies handling, installation, and maintenance in constrained spaces, making it suitable for Manitoba Hydro and other utility installations requiring durable, accessible meter sockets. Overall, the unit’s compatibility with overhead/underground installations and its 400 A rating deliver measurable efficiency, safer field operations, and a lower total cost of ownership for industrial and utility programs.
