All-in-one design combines meter and protection in a single enclosure, reducing enclosure footprint and simplifying procurement. This translates to faster installations and lower labor costs on residential projects while maintaining reliable metering integration for service feeders and load centers. The 200 A rating supports typical single-phase residential service profiles, with 24 spaces ready for future circuit expansion and metering needs, improving scalability and long-term planning. In practice, engineers gain a streamlined supply chain, fewer field modifications, and improved project predictability when coordinating metering products with distribution gear. Long-term business impact includes lower total cost of ownership and better upfront compliance with utility standards for residential developments and multifamily buildings. The device’s 22 kAIC interrupt rating provides robust fault protection in higher-demand service drops, supporting safer operation in areas with elevated fault currents. This capability is crucial for OEMs and installers aiming to meet code requirements while minimizing nuisance tripping on peak load days. The surface-mount installation, NEMA 3R enclosure, and overhead/underground feed compatibility make it a versatile choice across indoor and outdoor installations, reducing site-specific accommodations and accelerating handoff to operations teams. Copper bus material delivers dependable current transfer and mechanical durability, with four-jaws and a single socket simplifying wiring and field acceptance tests. The combination of UL Listed certification and a limited lifetime warranty enhances procurement confidence, reducing risk for specifiers. CH Non-EUSERC compatibility further supports utility coordination and compliant metering configurations across jurisdictions, ensuring the solution fits a wide range of building codes and utility requirements. Overall, this Eaton meter breaker aligns with industry best practices for reliability, safety, and ease of maintenance, delivering measurable improvements in project timelines and service reliability for residential metering projects.
