Eaton 173 HSHDB Meter Pack - UL Listed 3R Enclosure
Part Number: 173 HSHDB
Quick Summary
Eaton 173 HSHDB Meter Pack provides rugged horizontal meter mounting for industrial feeders. For many facilities, space constraints and installation complexity slow commissioning and inflate costs. UL-listed certification, 3R protection, and galvanized steel with ANSI 61 gray paint enhance safety and long-term durability. This solution minimizes field wiring headaches by offering a surface-mount enclosure with a 100 A rating and compatible lugs for varied conductor configurations. By aligning with B-Line series metering standards, it delivers faster installation, reduced maintenance, and scalable metering across multiple feeders and sites.

The 100 A amperage rating provides reliable service for mid-size industrial feeders, reducing the need for upgrades or replacements as demand grows. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and faster project commissioning on new builds or retrofits. The galvanized steel construction with ANSI 61 gray paint delivers corrosion resistance in outdoor or damp environments, increasing service life and reducing maintenance cycles. Line lug size of #6-250 MCM and load lug size of #14-2/0 enable flexible conductor configurations, cutting the need for adapters and simplifying field wiring. Four jaws support multiple wiring schemes across three positions, improving circuit organization and safety. Surface-mount installation paired with overhead/underground feed flexibility minimizes space requirements and accelerates installation in crowded electrical rooms. UL certification and 3R enclosure protection provide regulatory compliance and dependable protection in harsh environments, aligning with Eaton’s B-Line series for scalable, factory-ready metering.
