FAQs
Begin by confirming the service rating and conductor sizes (#6-350 kcmil). Mount the meter socket in a suitable enclosure, align the top and bottom feed entries, and connect line/load conductors to the five jaws per Eaton's installation instructions. Engage the lever bypass only after all terminations are secured and the circuit is de-energized; verify torque and labeling during commissioning.
The UTH5213TCH supports line and load conductors from #6 to 350 kcmil, enabling a wide range of service configurations. This makes it suitable for 200A service and allows for flexibility in upgrading feeders without replacing the meter socket, simplifying installation in both new builds and retrofit projects.
Yes. The UTH5213TCH carries approvals from multiple utilities, including Central Maine Power, Dayton Power and Light, Northern Indiana Public Service Company, South Carolina Electric and Gas, and Entergy. These endorsements help streamline procurement and align with utility interconnection requirements for commercial and industrial projects.
Lever bypass provides a rapid means to isolate the load and perform maintenance without fully disconnecting service, reducing downtime and improving technician safety. This is particularly valuable in busy commercial meters and during commissioning or testing where minimizing outage duration matters.
The UTH5213TCH combines robust construction, durable materials, and flexible feed options to minimize maintenance intervals. Its compatibility with standard conductor sizes and utility approvals lowers project risk, accelerates commissioning, and reduces lifecycle costs by extending service intervals and limiting field rework.
