The unit’s four-jaw grounding and compatible Type CH breakers simplify mounting and expansion without sacrificing safety or performance.
A 200 A main with 36 circuits provides ample headroom for high-demand residences or small commercial spaces, enabling centralized protection and metering in a single enclosure. This arrangement reduces panel sprawl, lowers wiring complexity, and speeds commissioning. It also supports scalable protection coordination as loads grow or configurations change.
Yes, the unit is designed to be used with Type CH breakers and includes a CSR2200 main breaker option. It supports surface mounting with top and bottom feed, enabling flexible installation in existing or new panels. Four-jaw grounding and copper bus enhance reliability for large feeders, while maintaining straightforward retrofits for CH-based protection schemes.
The CMB2436B200BTS carries UL Listed certification for safety and performance. It also aligns with utility-approved configurations (MEG) across multiple states, including Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, and South Carolina, ensuring compatibility with common utility metering and service equipment requirements.
Total cost of ownership combines initial procurement, installation labor, and ongoing maintenance. The all-in-one design reduces wiring and labor time, while the limited lifetime warranty lowers replacement risk. Regular inspection of copper bus connections and enclosure seals, plus periodic verification of MEG approvals in your locality, helps sustain reliability and compliance over the service life.
