The 204 F MS73 leverages a four-jaw configuration to securely clamp #6-250 MCM conductors, delivering a stable, low-resistance connection that translates to consistent metering accuracy and reduced heat rise in high-load installations. This feature directly impacts reliability and long-term service life, especially in overhead feed scenarios where vibration and environmental exposure are common. The steel construction with ANSI 61 paint coating provides rugged durability and superior corrosion resistance, which lowers replacement and maintenance costs in moisture-prone or outdoor environments. Front-mount design simplifies installation and field servicing, enabling quick access for wiring checks and lug replacements without removing the enclosure cover—resulting in reduced labor time and safer maintenance. With UL Listed certification, you gain regulatory confidence, regulatory alignment, and easier approval during audits. The 1-pole, 3-wire configuration supports common metering architectures, improving compatibility with standard utility and building distribution systems. This model is compatible with other B-Line series components, enabling streamlined assemblies and scalable metering solutions for growing facilities.
