FAQs
The 174 HSHDB is designed for overhead and underground service installations, making it ideal for commercial and industrial metering centers. Its surface-mount design and four-position layout support fast, organized wiring in tight equipment rooms, while the galvanised steel enclosure and ANSI 61 gray finish provide reliable protection in demanding environments.
This meter pack accepts line lugs sized #6-250 MCM and load lugs sized #14-2/0, enabling flexible, high-capacity feeders and smaller control conductors in the same enclosure. With four jaws and three wires per position, it supports multi-branch configurations and simplifies field terminations without compromising safety.
Yes. The enclosure uses galvanized steel with an ANSI 61 gray finish and carries UL certification, along with a 3R rating for weather resistance. This combination supports safer outdoor operation and compliance with standard electrical safety codes for service equipment in varied climates.
Applications include meter centers, service disconnects, and distribution hubs in both new builds and retrofit projects. Its four-position, four-jaw design and overhead/underground feed capability enable flexible deployment across facilities, reducing construction time and inventory complexity while ensuring reliable electrical distribution.
The ring cover provides secure access and protection, while the rugged galvanized steel enclosure minimizes corrosion-related maintenance. UL listing adds confidence in safety compliance, and the compact, surface-mount design reduces installation labor. Over time, this translates to lower maintenance costs and faster commissioning, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership.
