Eaton 3MM420R12 Residential Meter Stack - UL Listed
Part Number: 3MM420R12
Quick Summary
Eaton residential meter stack provides compact, multi-tenant metering for outdoor electrical feeders in multi-unit dwellings. Field installations often struggle with weatherproofing, space constraints, and serviceability; this module delivers modularity, durable aluminum bus, and outdoor-ready enclosure to reduce downtime. UL Listed ensures safety compliance for outdoor metering, while utility approvals from Idaho Power, Seattle City Light, PG&E, SMUD, and others enable faster permit-to-install cycles. The 200 A main, 1200 A bus rating, and five-jaw, four-socket layout drive scalable metering for three-phase in, single-phase out systems in mixed-use and multi-family projects, offering predictable performance and simplified procurement. For engineers and procurement teams, this solution translates to faster deployment, easier maintenance, and consistent metering outcomes across complex electrical installations.

Eaton Specification Sheet - 3MM420R12
Three-phase in, single-phase out configuration is built into the meter stack, enabling efficient grouping of loads across a building while ending every feeder on a single, organized phase path. This reduces neutral and phase balancing risks and simplifies protection coordination for developers and property managers. In practice, it suits mid- to large-scale residential complexes where staggered metering and utility settlement matter for monthly billing precision. With a 200 A main and a 1200 A bus rating, the unit delivers ample headroom for growth without replacing the enclosure. The higher bus rating supports multiple subfeed breakers and future load increases, helping engineers avoid retrofit costs. This is ideal for new-builds or major renovations in multifamily housing where metering capacity must scale with occupancy. Constructed with an aluminum bus and an outdoor enclosure, the meter stack withstands exposure to weather while delivering robust electrical performance. Five-jaw and four-socket configurations provide modularity for feeder connections, easing wiring management and serviceability. The enclosure design supports surface or pedestal mounting in exterior spaces common to apartment complexes, mixed-use developments, and shared meter rooms. Ring security features and secondary breaker compatibility (CCV2_X/CCVH2_X/ CVS2_XMM/ CV2_XMM/ CVH2_XMM) enhance safety, while ensuring long-term reliability and simplified maintenance. From an installation perspective, rugged outdoor-ready design and standardized dimensions streamline field mounting and commissioning, and Eaton’s warranty policy provides a clear maintenance horizon. This combination translates into lower lifecycle costs and predictable ROI in multi-tenant developments.

FAQs
Installers should plan for outdoor mounting in a weather-protected location, ensuring adequate clearance for five-jaw connections and the four service sockets. Verify the enclosure is rated for outdoor use and that the meter stack is wired for three-phase in and single-phase out. Use compatible secondary breakers (CCV2_X family) to maintain protection coordination and simplify spare parts management.
The unit is designed with three-phase in and single-phase out to support grouped metering while maintaining a straightforward protection scheme. This arrangement accommodates scalable distribution for multi-tenant buildings, reducing circuit complexity and improving load balancing. It also aligns with utility metering practices, enabling efficient subfeed management and accurate energy accounting.
Yes, the 3MM420R12 is UL Listed, confirming safety for outdoor metering installations. Utility approvals include a broad range of providers such as Idaho Power, Seattle City Light, LADWP, PG&E, SMUD, NV Energy, CenterPoint Energy, Puget Sound Energy, and Tacoma Public Utilities, which supports faster permit approval and deployment in many regions.
The meter stack supports secondary breaker compatibility with CCV2_X, CCVH2_X, CVS2_XMM, CV2_XMM, and CVH2_XMM families. This broad compatibility simplifies specification, enables standardized stocking of spare parts, and helps ensure protection coordination across various configurations while maintaining a compact footprint.
Eaton provides a warranty under policy 25-000: one year from installation or 18 months from shipment, whichever occurs first. For maintenance, prioritize outdoor enclosure inspections, verify ring security integrity, and ensure CCV2_X breakers remain properly aligned. The robust outdoor design minimizes routine upkeep, supporting lower lifecycle costs and predictable performance in multifamily and mixed-use developments.
