Eaton 217 MTBH MS15 Meter Breakers - 42 kAIC
Part Number: 217 MTBH MS15
Quick Summary
Eaton 217 MTBH MS15 Meter Breakers provide reliable protection for commercial and industrial metering applications. The challenge of fitting robust protection into compact meter centers and crowded panels is common, but these breakers offer a straightforward, space-conscious solution. They carry UL certification and EUSERC approval, underscoring compliance with safety and utility-grade metering requirements, while the 42 kAIC interrupt rating supports high fault tolerance. Built from galvanized steel with ANSI 61 gray finish, they withstand demanding environments, and the 100 A rating paired with a surface-mount design streamlines installation and future service. This combination reduces procurement risk and enables easier field maintenance for electrical teams and engineering procurement professionals.

FAQs
The 217 MTBH MS15 is designed for 3Ø/4W metering configurations and supports ring or ringless jaw options. It features seven jaws and a built-in test block to simplify commissioning. Confirm socket compatibility with your specific Eaton B-Line meter mounting equipment and panel design before installation.
The 42 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the maximum fault current the breaker can interrupt safely without damage. This rating supports robust protection in utility-grade and commercial metering installations, reducing the risk of insulation damage and improving overall system reliability under fault conditions.
Yes. The unit carries UL certification and is EUSERC approved, ensuring compliance with safety standards and utility requirements for metering equipment, which is critical for utility interconnections and procurement processes.
The meter breaker measures 4.63 inches in depth, 12 inches in width, and 38 inches in height, with an approximate weight of 38 pounds. These dimensions support space planning for meter centers and help ensure proper clearance in enclosures and panels.
Surface-mount installation simplifies setup by reducing enclosure depth requirements and enabling straightforward mounting on compatible panels. Consider the 1 Position configuration, ring/jaw options, and the integrated test block to streamline commissioning. Ensure proper spacing, ventilation, and adherence to UL and local code requirements for meter protection devices.
