The 100 A amperage rating paired with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating provides robust protection for feeders and meters, reducing the risk of nuisance trips and equipment damage during faults. In utility metering and industrial power panels, this translates to higher uptime and safer fault clearing, while meeting NEC or local code requirements for meter equipment in moderate to heavy duty systems. A galvanized steel enclosure with ANSI 61 gray finish delivers corrosion resistance and long service life in challenging environments, including damp basements and outdoor meter canopies. This durability lowers maintenance cycles and repaint costs, supporting cost-of-ownership reduction for building owners and panel manufacturers. The configuration features 3Ø/4W metering with 7 jaws, MCB, 1 position, ring, 3R, and test block, enabling flexible meter racking and test access in compact footprints. This compatibility and modular design simplify installation in meter sockets and distribution panels, while supporting ring vs ringless metering strategies. Physical dimensions and weight, 4.625 in depth, 18 in width, 24 in height, and 38 lb, support stable mounting in standard enclosures and allow straightforward wiring. The UPC 782051451580 and the UL listing along with EUSERC approval streamline procurement, inventory control, and regulatory compliance for project teams running commercial and industrial metering installations.

FAQs
Begin by verifying panel rating and compatibility with 3Ø/4W metering configurations. Mount the unit in a single position, align and tighten the 7 jaws, and connect the service conductors using the #14 to 2/0 sizing. Install the test block per the Eaton guidelines, then route conductors to the terminal block with proper torque. Finally, perform insulation checks, recheck clearances, and verify proper alignment before energizing.
The unit is rated for 100 A with an interrupt rating of 10 kAIC. It supports 3Ø/4W metering configurations with a MCB style mechanism and 7 jaws. Construction uses galvanized steel with an ANSI 61 gray finish, and the device ships with a UPC of 782051451580. It is UL listed and suitable for meter mounting applications in commercial and industrial panels.
Yes. The meter breaker is designed for meter mounting equipment and supports ring and ringless metering architectures, aligning with both 3Ø/4W systems and compatible test blocks. This flexibility facilitates various metering schemes in distribution panels and utility meter racks while maintaining code compliance and ease of installation.
The U217 MTB MS15 is UL listed and EUSERC approved, indicating compliance with recognized safety standards and utility engineering requirements. These certifications support regulatory acceptance across utility metering installations and ensure compatibility with approved metering equipment in commercial and industrial settings.
The galvanized steel construction and durable ANSI 61 gray finish minimize corrosion and repaint needs, reducing maintenance cycles. UL listing and EUSERC approval simplify audits and commissioning, while reliable 10 kAIC fault interruption lowers the likelihood of service interruptions. Overall, the unit contributes to higher uptime, reduced field labor, and improved lifecycle cost in metering projects.
