Eaton U217 MTBL Meter Breakers - UL Listed, 100 A 10 kAIC
Part Number: U217 MTBL
Quick Summary
Eaton U217 MTBL meter breakers protect meter sockets and service entrances in commercial and light industrial panels. Many installers struggle with mounting space, fault-current ratings, and selecting compatible jaw configurations for 3Ø/4W systems. These units carry UL approval, signaling compliance with essential safety and performance standards for metering equipment. The galvanized steel construction and ANSI 61 gray finish deliver robust durability in indoor and semi-exposed environments, while the surface-mount design simplifies installation in crowded panels. By matching the U217 MTBL with Eaton B-Line meter sockets, teams can reduce commissioning time and avoid wiring errors, delivering predictable performance and lower total cost of ownership.

FAQs
The U217 MTBL is designed for surface mounting in 3Ø/4W networks and accepts conductors up to #14-2/0. When installing, align with standard meter socket jaw configurations and verify compatibility with ring or ringless metering options using Eaton literature. Ensure the enclosure footprint fits a 28 in width, 26 in height, and 4.625 in depth to avoid fit issues in crowded panels.
The U217 MTBL provides a 100 A amperage rating and a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, enabling reliable protection in typical commercial and light industrial metering applications. It is UL-listed, which confirms conformance to established safety and performance standards for meter breakers used in distribution systems.
Yes. The U217 MTBL is designed for surface-mount installation and is compatible with Eaton B-Line meter socket assemblies. Its 4.625 in depth, 26 in height, and 28 in width support practical installation in constrained spaces, while its 3Ø/4W configuration offers flexible metering layouts for diverse panel designs.
U217 MTBL carries UL certification, reflecting compliance with essential electrical safety and performance standards. This certification supports code conformity in most North American installations and is a key factor in project approvals and inspections.
The combination of UL-listed safety, galvanized steel durability, and a robust 10 kAIC rating translates to reduced maintenance needs and lower downtime. The compact, surface-mount design also accelerates installation, shortening project timelines and improving total cost of ownership for meter socket and service-entry applications.
