Eaton MBX816B150BTS Residential Meter Breaker - UL Listed
Part Number: MBX816B150BTS
Quick Summary
MBX816B150BTS residential meter breaker provides integrated metering and service disconnect for residential service entrances. In many projects, coordinating separate metering sockets, disconnects, and feeders creates schedule delays and potential non-compliance. This unit carries UL Listed certification, a rugged NEMA 3R enclosure, and a 22 kAIC interrupt rating, ensuring safe outdoor installation and utility compatibility. The all-in-one design minimizes field wiring and inventory, delivering faster installs and reduced lifecycle costs, while supporting Ameren and Xcel Energy utility requirements for metering products and energy management applications. By consolidating functions into a single enclosure, it also simplifies maintenance planning and reduces the risk of inter-component incompatibility.
