Quick Summary

Eaton 242 MCC Meter Pack is a compact horizontal meter pack designed for reliable service-entry metering in commercial and light-industrial environments. If space is tight or wiring becomes a maze in meter rooms, this solution organizes lugs, leads, and components for easier maintenance. The unit is UL listed and built to a 3R enclosure standard, with galvanized steel and ANSI 61 gray paint to endure demanding environments. Overhead/underground feed capability, a 200A rating, and surface-mount installation streamline setup, reduce field errors, and support future expansions. With 4 line jaws and 2 wiring positions, it accepts #4 - 600 MCM line lugs and #6 - 250 MCM load lugs for scalable metering.

200A amperage rating delivers full service capacity for most commercial feeders, reducing the need for downstream panels and simplifying coordination with utility metering. In practice, this means fewer sub-feed taps and better protection coordination, especially for mid-rise buildings and facilities with updated energy metering requirements. With four line jaws and two load positions supporting #4–600 MCM line conductors and #6–250 MCM loads, installers can accommodate a wide range of feeders without custom adapters. This plug-forward design speeds wiring, minimizes mis-termination risk, and improves pull efficiency in congested meter rooms. Galvanized steel with ANSI 61 gray paint delivers weather resistance and a durable finish that helps resist corrosion across indoor and outdoor installations. The 3R enclosure rating adds protection against impact and environmental exposure, enabling safe service-entry mounting in utility corridors and exterior walls. Surface-mount mounting simplifies installation on existing enclosures or wall surfaces, reducing required labor and messy field fabrication. The ring cover and manual circuit closing option provide straightforward operation and improved fault isolation during commissioning. Designed for overhead/underground feeds and B-Line series compatibility, the 242 MCC integrates smoothly with standard distribution equipment while helping meet NEC and UL requirements. This translates to faster project approvals, lower lifecycle costs, and easier maintenance planning.

FAQs

The 242 MCC is designed for surface-mount installation with overhead/underground feeds. It features two wiring positions and four line jaws, allowing flexible lug configurations. Plan for adequate wall space, ensure pour clearance for the enclosure, and verify UL compliance in the service entrance. This setup reduces field fabrication and accelerates commissioning while maintaining code conformity.
The unit supports line lugs sized #4 to #600 MCM and load lugs sized #6 to #250 MCM across four line jaws and two load positions. This wide range enables compatibility with diverse feeders and minimizes the need for adapters. It also improves pull efficiency in congested meter rooms and reduces termination errors during installation.
Yes. The 242 MCC uses galvanized steel with ANSI 61 gray paint and carries a 3R enclosure rating, providing resistance to weather, corrosion, and impact. This makes it suitable for both indoor service entrances and protected outdoor wall installations, ensuring ongoing reliability in varying environmental conditions.
The 242 MCC is UL listed and designed to meet 3R enclosure standards, which supports safe operation and regulatory compliance in electrical distribution. This combination helps streamline approvals for commercial and light-industrial projects and provides a clear reference point for code alignment in NEC-based installations.
The meter pack delivers space-efficient, organized metering with straightforward wiring and maintenance. Its 200A capacity, rugged finish, and UL/3R certification reduce installation time and post-installation risk, while compatibility with overhead/underground feeds supports scalable upgrades. Overall, it lowers lifecycle costs by simplifying maintenance and improving reliability in service-entry metering.
