B-LINE U224 MTBP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Eaton B-Line U224 MTBP meter socket work on a 3-phase 4-wire service?
Yes. The U224 MTBP is a 7-jaw, 3-pole, 1-position meter socket configured for 3-phase/4-wire service at 200 A. If your service is single-phase 3-wire, you want a 4-jaw socket instead, not this one.
2) What size conductors will the 200 amp U224 MTBP meter socket lugs accept?
Both line and load lugs take #6 through 250 MCM, copper or aluminum range as listed. That covers the usual 4/0 aluminum or 2/0 copper runs on a 200 A service, and it tops out at 250 MCM, so parallel or oversized feeders won't land here.
3) Can this B-Line meter socket be installed outdoors?
Yes. It's a Type 3R enclosure in galvanized steel with an ANSI 61 gray painted finish, which is the standard outdoor rain-tight rating for a service meter mounted on an exterior wall. 3R is not for washdown or submerged locations.
4) Is this a ring type or ringless meter socket?
Ring type. The meter is retained by a sealing ring, so confirm your serving utility accepts ring-type sockets in your area before ordering; many utilities specify ringless and the two are not interchangeable in the field.
5) Does the Eaton B-Line U224 MTBP meet utility submittal requirements?
It's UL listed and EUSERC approved, which is what the western utilities look for on service equipment submittals. Interrupt rating is 200 kAIC.
6) How much wall space do I need for the U224 MTBP meter socket?
Plan on 30 inches high by 22 inches wide with a 6 inch depth off the wall. It weighs 52 lb, so it's a two-person set on the wall or a solid unistrut/backboard mount before you land conductors.
7) Does this meter socket include a test block?
Yes, the U224 MTBP is furnished with a test block, so the utility can test or bypass the meter without pulling conductors. Hub is side entry.
8) What fault current can this 200 A meter socket withstand?
200 kAIC. That's high enough for most commercial service points fed from a large utility transformer, so a separate series-rating study on the socket itself is rarely the constraint.
