B-LINE U214 MTBH MS45 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line U214 MTBH MS45 meter breaker work on a 120/240V single phase residential or small commercial service?
Yes. The U214 MTBH MS45 is a 1 phase, 3 wire meter breaker rated 100 A, which is the standard single phase service arrangement for a house, duplex unit, or small commercial tenant. It uses a 5 jaw meter socket, so the utility meter must be a 5 jaw form; a 4 jaw socket will not accept the same meter and vice versa. One breaker position, main circuit breaker type.
2) Can this meter breaker be mounted outdoors?
Yes. It is a NEMA 3R enclosure, rain tight for outdoor wall mounting, in galvanized steel with an ANSI 61 gray painted finish. It is a surface mount unit, so it lands on the face of the wall rather than recessing into it.
3) What size service conductors will the lugs on this 100 A meter breaker take?
The terminals accept #6 through 250 MCM, so copper or aluminum service entrance conductors sized for a 100 A service land directly without adapters or reducers. That range also leaves room if the feeder was oversized for voltage drop on a long run.
4) Is this meter breaker acceptable to west coast utilities that require EUSERC?
It is EUSERC Approved, which is what most western US utilities require on metered service equipment before they will set a meter. It is also UL listed. Confirm the specific socket form and sealing requirements with your serving utility as part of the service application.
5) What does ring type mean on this meter socket, and does it affect how the utility seals it?
Ring type means the meter is retained by a sealing ring around the meter rim, and the utility seals that ring. Ringless sockets instead use a removable cover that the utility seals, and the two are not interchangeable, so order to match what your utility specifies. The U214 MTBH MS45 also includes a test block, letting the utility test or bypass the meter without pulling service conductors.
6) How many circuits can I feed out of this meter breaker?
One. It has a single position with a main circuit breaker, so it meters the service and provides the service disconnect only. Branch circuits need a separate downstream panelboard or load center fed from that 100 A main. If you want the meter and the branch breakers in one can, you need a combination meter main load center instead.
7) What wall space do I need to lay out for this meter breaker, and can one person hang it?
Plan for 24 inches high by 18 inches wide, with 4.625 inches of depth off the wall. It weighs 35 lb, so it is a one-man lift onto the mounting fasteners but easier with a second set of hands while you hold it plumb.
8) Is the B-Line U214 MTBH MS45 the same as an Eaton meter breaker?
Yes. B-Line is an Eaton brand, and this is catalogued as an Eaton B-Line series meter breaker. Order it by the model and manufacturer part number U214 MTBH MS45.
