320 A amperage rating delivers robust metering capacity for large panels, reducing upstream backfeed risks and expanding the range of applications. Feature → Business Impact → Application: High current capability translates to fewer components and tighter, safer electrical distribution in industrial facilities; ideal for commercial feeder metering and service disconnects. Ringless door and four-jaw design minimize installation complexity and touchpoints, speeding field wiring and improving safety by reducing live-handling opportunities; great for retrofit projects in constrained spaces or crowded equipment rooms. Surface mounting compatibility supports quick integration into existing enclosures and architectural meter bus layouts, lowering retrofit costs and enabling modular metering upgrades in plant modernization programs. Lever bypass provides simple, reliable service isolation during maintenance, cutting downtime and enabling faster, safer maintenance cycles. Galvanized steel with ANSI 61 gray finish offers corrosion resistance and a durable exterior suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, reducing maintenance intervals and total ownership cost. The unit’s 1Ø/3W configuration and ringless, 1-position design align with common utility metering practices, delivering predictable performance in standard electrical distribution schemes. Compatibility with overhead and underground feed solutions ensures flexible deployment across multi-site facilities, supporting consistent metering strategies and compliance across portfolios. Overall, the EL32T46GRST combines rugged construction with installation efficiency to improve project timelines, regulatory compliance, and total cost of ownership for B-Line series meters.

FAQs
The EL32T46GRST is designed for surface mounting and ringless metering with a 1Ø/3W configuration. It accommodates overhead and underground feed, uses 3/8”-16 stud lugs for both line and load, and requires a compatible enclosure with a 3R rating. Plan space for 7.125 in depth, 18.25 in width, and 36.625 in height, ensuring adequate access for terminations and maintenance.
A 320 A rating supports higher service demands and reduces the need for multiple smaller sockets in large panels. This simplifies metering topology, lowers hardware counts, and improves reliability by providing a single, robust metering point. It’s particularly beneficial for commercial and light industrial feeders where peak loads approach higher levels.
Yes. The special features include overhead and underground feed capabilities, making this meter socket versatile across site installations. Its 4-jaw design, ringless door, and surface-mount compatibility streamline integration into existing or new underground and overhead feeder systems while maintaining UL compliance.
The EL32T46GRST is UL-listed and features a 3R enclosure rating, suitable for outdoor or industrial environments. The galvanized steel construction with ANSI 61 gray finish provides corrosion resistance and durable performance in challenging conditions, helping with regulatory compliance and long-term maintenance planning.
Investing in the EL32T46GRST can reduce installation time due to its lever bypass and ringless design, lower maintenance costs with a durable galvanized finish, and consolidate metering into a single, higher-capacity unit. The result is faster project timelines, fewer field repairs, and improved reliability across a multi-site portfolio.
