1 Scope<\/b><\/p>\n

1.1 These requirements cover meter sockets for use with:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    a)\u00a0Watthour and similar meters;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    b)\u00a0Test switches;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    c)\u00a0Metering transformer cabinets; and<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    d)\u00a0Metering transformer cabinet interiors<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    for installation in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.<\/p>\n

    \n

    1.2 Meter sockets are marked with a continuous duty ampere rating and may in addition have a maximum use (intermittent) ampere rating of 125 percent or less of the continuous duty ampere rating.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    \n

    1.3 A meter socket, as covered by these requirements, is an assembly of wiring terminals and jaw type contacts for one or more plug-in watthour meters in an enclosure having provisions for securing the meter to the socket.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    \n

    1.4 Some meter sockets may be housed in a metal pedestal enclosure intended for mounting on a concrete slab or in a metal post enclosure intended to be sunk in the ground with or without concrete poured around the post at ground level and either self-supported or intended for separate support. Such posts or pedestals are not intended to serve as the sole support of masts for overhead wiring.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    \n

    1.5 Some meter sockets may be intended for mounting on a mounting post or pedestal for distribution equipment.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    \n

    1.6 Except as indicated in 10, as covered by these requirements, a meter socket does not include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      \u00a0a) A meter,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      \u00a0b) An overcurrent device,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      \u00a0c) An instrument transformer,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    4. \n

      \u00a0d) An arcing or switching part, or<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    5. \n

      \u00a0e) A similar component.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      A meter socket does not have provision for installation of instrument transformers within the meter socket enclosure.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

      \n

      1.7 These requirements cover meter sockets rated:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        a)\u00a0300 volts alternating current or less, or 600 volts alternating current and<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      2. \n

        b)\u00a0400 amperes maximum per meter position.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \n

        1.8 These requirements cover metering transformer cabinets and metering transformer cabinet interiors rated maximum 6000 amperes at maximum 600 volts.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

        \n

        1.9 As covered by these requirements, a metering transformer cabinet or metering transformer cabinet interior does not include the current transformers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

        \n

        1.10 This Standard contains requirements in Supplement SA that cover meter socket adapters, including adapters with provisions for connection of alternative energy sources, that may contain overcurrent protection.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
