B-LINE VELMP20433LGRST5K9 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many meter positions does the B-Line VELMP20433LGRST5K9 group metering stack have?
Three meter positions, each a 5-jaw single-phase socket wired 3-wire. That makes it a fit for a triplex or a three-unit section of a larger multi-family building. Each position is rated 200A.
2) Is this Eaton B-Line group meter stack rated for outdoor installation?
The enclosure carries a Type 3 degree of protection, so it is suited to outdoor walls (rain and windblown dust). It is galvanized steel finished in ANSI 61 paint and UL listed.
3) What size conductors will the load lugs on the VELMP20433LGRST5K9 take?
Load lugs accept #6 through 350 MCM, so you can land anything from a small 100A feeder up to full 200A copper or aluminum service conductors per position. The line side is not a lug connection, it lands on 3/8 inch studs, so you will need compression terminals sized to a 3/8 inch bolt hole.
4) Can this meter stack be fed from the bottom, or does the service have to come in overhead?
Feed type is Both, so the same unit works for an overhead (top) feed or an underground (bottom) feed. That is what lets one part number cover a retrofit where the utility drop changes side.
5) Will the VELMP20433LGRST5K9 work for a three-phase apartment service?
No. It is a single-pole, 3-wire, 5-jaw arrangement, which is single-phase 120/240V metering. For three-phase tenant metering you need a 7-jaw socket configuration instead.
6) Is this a ringless or ring-type meter socket, and does it have a bypass?
Ringless cover door, which is what most utilities in North America now specify, and it has a lever bypass at each socket so the utility can pull a meter without dropping the tenant's power. Confirm the ringless/lever combination against your utility's service standard before ordering.
7) What wall space do I need for the B-Line VELMP20433LGRST5K9 and how heavy is it?
Plan on 60.25 inches high by 29 inches wide with a 6 inch depth off the wall, and 156.241 lb of enclosure before conductors. At that weight it is a two-person set and needs backing or unistrut into structure, not just sheathing.
8) How does this group metering enclosure mount?
Side mounting, so the fixing points are on the sides of the enclosure rather than through the back pan. With a 6 inch depth it sits close to the wall, which suits a surface mount on a masonry or framed exterior wall.
