FAQs
For overhead service installs, plan for a single-position, 200A, 600V meter socket with #6-350 kcmil conductors. The five-jaw, ringless design supports precise alignment, while the lever bypass enables safe maintenance without removing the meter. Consider utility approvals and mounting space to ensure quick commissioning and minimal downtime.
The UTH5203BCH is UL Listed, ensuring safety and compliance with standard electrical practices. It also aligns with utility approvals from CMP, Emera Maine and NIPSCO, facilitating field acceptance and smoother permit processing in applicable regions.
This unit is ideal for 1-phase, 200A overhead services in residential and light commercial settings. It supports #6-350 kcmil conductors and a 600V rating, making it suitable for new installations, service upgrades, and retrofit projects where space and efficiency matter.
Lever bypass lets technicians isolate or bypass the service without disconnecting the meter, reducing outage time and improving safety during testing, inspection, or panel work. This feature is particularly valuable in facilities that require high availability and rapid service restoration.
Although the socket is a standard component, UL Listing, large-conductor compatibility, ringless hub design, and quick-access bypass collectively reduce installation time, regulatory delays, and maintenance downtime. Over the life of the asset, these factors translate to lower labor costs and faster project completion.
