Feature: The 100 A amperage rating with four line and load jaws delivers robust conductor terminations and a secure, low‑voltage drop path. The impact: reduces field rework and improves connection integrity across service feeders. Application: ideal for overhead/underground lineups in commercial and light industrial metering installations. Feature: Galvanized steel construction with ANSI 61 gray finish provides corrosion resistance and long‑term durability in outdoor and damp environments. The impact: lowers maintenance costs and extends service life of meter centers. Application: suitable for outdoor racks, weather‑exposed sites, and utility installations. Feature: Overhead/underground feed capability and surface‑mount mounting method enable flexible deployment in compact spaces. The impact: simplifies retrofits and new builds by fitting existing bus and conduit layouts without trenching. Application: meter packs within electrical rooms or utility corridors. Feature: Ring cover type and 4‑jaw, 3R enclosure combination delivers enclosure protection and easy access for routine inspections. The impact: enhances safety, reduces stray entry, and speeds metering maintenance. Application: service equipment in 3R rated environments. Feature: 1 position, #14‑2/0 lugs on both line and load sides with 12 in width and 12 in height, 4.63 in depth and 10 lb weight. The impact: provides a compact yet capable footprint that supports standard feeders while minimizing space. Application: practical for space constrained meter centers and retrofit projects.
