FAQs
The 217 MTBH is designed for Eaton B-Line series meter sockets and meter-mounting equipment. It supports surface-mount installations and 3Ø/4W configurations, with a test block and conductor range up to #14-2/0. For best results, verify enclosure dimensions (4.63 in depth, 12 in width, 38 in height) and ensure mounting provisions align with the facility’s panel layout.
The unit is rated for 100 A continuous operation and delivers a 65 kAIC interrupt rating. These specs provide strong fault protection for medium-sized metering circuits, enabling reliable service continuity in commercial and industrial installations while meeting typical utility and code requirements.
Yes. The 217 MTBH carries UL certification and is EUSERC approved, streamlining compliance with utility meter installations and building codes. This reduces inspection time and mitigates regulatory risk during new builds or retrofit projects.
Dimensions are 4.63 inches in depth, 38 inches in height, and 12 inches in width, with an approximate weight of 38 pounds. These metrics help quantify space requirements for meter enclosures and ensure compatibility with enclosure backs and mounting rails within the installation footprint.
The 217 MTBH offers reliable protection, code-compliant metering solutions, and a straightforward installation workflow. Its rugged galvanized-steel construction and 3Ø/4W compatibility reduce maintenance interruptions, shorten commissioning times, and support long service life in challenging environments, delivering measurable return on investment through lower lifecycle costs and improved system uptime.
