Eaton Specification Sheet - UTRS2138BCH
The UTRS2138BCH is a 200A, single-phase meter socket designed for residential service. This capability supports heavy home loads and light commercial applications with dependable performance, reducing the likelihood of nuisance trips during peak demand. Installers benefit from standard residential service equipment that aligns with common code requirements, improving bid reliability and project timelines. Precision hub and termination design: with a 3-5/16 in hub opening and four-jaw configuration, terminations are secure and repeatable. The ringless interface enhances safety by eliminating exposed rings during installation, which translates to faster service connections and lower install risk in crowded meter bays. Flexible feed options: top/bottom feed, 600 V rating, and three-wire configuration provide installation versatility for varied panel layouts. This adaptability reduces field modifications, accelerates commissioning, and supports compliance with utility and local electrical codes across residential and light commercial projects. Maintenance and reliability features: horn bypass enables safe meter changes or bypass scenarios without de-energizing downstream circuits, minimizing downtime and service interruptions. The rugged construction supports long service life in demanding environments, lowering lifecycle cost for building owners and operators. Utility and certification compatibility: UL Listed ensures recognized safety standards, while TX Oncor approval confirms grid compatibility in Texas; together they simplify procurement and enable smoother utility tie-ins. The unit accepts large conductors: line terminals rated to #8-350 kcmil and load conductors up to two runs of #8-250 MCM, enabling robust feeder design for varied loads. Form factor and dimensions: 4.94 in depth, 20 in height, 13 in width, and a 22 lb weight. These specs fit standard meter sockets in common enclosure footprints, reducing the need for custom fabrication and supporting faster site readiness.
