Eaton Specification Sheet - U224 MTBP
The U224 MTBP uses a 200 A amperage rating to provide appropriate protection for meter mains, enabling facilities to safely manage load without overprotection that can drive costs. This feature translates to measurable business impact: reduced nuisance trips, improved energy management, and longer component life in panel enclosures used in commercial settings. In addition, the 200 kAIC interrupt rating offers enhanced fault protection for high-current events, supporting safer startup and faster fault isolation in industrial plants and data centers where downtime is costly. UL listing and EUSERC compliance deliver regulatory confidence, smoothing procurement and permitting processes for building projects and retrofits while supporting quality assurance across facilities. The galvanized steel construction and ANSI 61 gray finish resist corrosion in variable environments, extending service intervals and lowering maintenance costs. Compatibility with 1Ø/3W configurations and surface-mount installation simplifies retrofit projects, reducing installation time and labor costs for electricians and integrators. Finally, the overall rugged build aligns with common industry practices for meter sockets, ensuring reliable performance in outdoor or semi-exposed locations.

FAQs
The U224 MTBP is designed for Eaton B-Line series meter sockets and supports surface-mount installation in 1Ø/3W configurations. This compatibility ensures straightforward mounting, consistent alignment with existing enclosures, and reduced field modification time, helping electrical teams meet project schedules with fewer fitment challenges.
It is rated for 200 A continuous service with a 200 kAIC interrupt rating, providing strong fault protection for meter mains. The combination of amperage and interrupt rating supports reliable protection for typical commercial and light-industrial metering applications while maintaining regulatory compliance and safe fault clearing performance.
Yes, the U224 MTBP is UL listed and EUSERC approved. UL listing confirms electrical safety and performance to recognized standards, while EUSERC approval aligns the product with utility and regulatory requirements for metering installations, simplifying procurement, inspections, and interconnection with utility-supplied equipment.
When installing for 1Ø/3W service, ensure correct alignment with the meter socket, use surface-mount mounting where specified, and verify conductor sizing (#6-250 MCM for main feed in certain configurations). The unit’s galvanized steel housing and ANSI 61 gray finish provide robust protection, while the 200 A rating matches typical service feeders used in small to mid-size facilities.
The 200 A/200 kAIC protection minimizes downtime from fault events and reduces nuisance trips, lowering maintenance costs and improving uptime. UL and EUSERC compliance streamline approvals, while galvanized steel construction extends service life in challenging environments. Overall, this translates to lower lifecycle costs, faster project completion, and greater system reliability for metering enclosures.
