FAQs
The UTE7203BCH is designed for overhead feed, 200A three‑phase, four‑wire service with a 3-5/16 inch hub opening. It accepts #6-350 kcmil conductors and uses a seven‑jaw, seven‑terminal configuration with ringless grounding and lever bypass. This combination simplifies retrofit and new-construction metering work while maintaining a compact footprint in standard meter enclosures.
Key specs include a 200A amperage rating, three-phase, four-wire configuration, 600V voltage rating, 3-5/16 in hub opening, and seven jaws/terminals. It is UL Listed and rated for overhead feed. The load and line use #6-350 kcmil conductors, with a ground connection suitable for Cu #14 to #2. These details drive compatibility with common commercial/industrial metering setups.
Best suited for commercial and light-industrial metering applications requiring reliable 200A service, overhead feeds, and 600V operation. Its ringless ground, lever bypass, and 4-wire configuration support safe fault clearance and service continuity. Utilities approving CMP, Emera Maine, and PNM make it a solid choice for utility-specified metering at new facilities or retrofit projects.
The unit is UL Listed, ensuring recognized safety compliance. It also lists utility approvals including CMP Central Maine Power, Emera Maine, and PNM (Public Service Company of New Mexico), which validate compatibility for specific utility districts and streamline permit and inspection processes in those regions.
Maintenance is straightforward due to ringless grounding, lever bypass for quick fault isolation, and robust mechanical design that tolerates heavy service conditions. ROI benefits include reduced downtime during maintenance, easier upgrades to larger feeders, and faster installation times thanks to clear conductor ranges (#6-350 kcmil) and a compact 4.94 in depth with a 19 in height.
