B-LINE 217 MTBP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line 217 MTBP meter breaker be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The 217 MTBP is a Type 3R enclosure, which is the rain-tight rating used for exterior service equipment on the side of a building. It is galvanized steel finished in ANSI 61 gray paint, and it surface mounts rather than recessing into the wall.
2) Is the 217 MTBP a single phase or three phase meter socket?
Single phase. It is a 1 phase, 3 wire, 4 jaw socket at 100 A with one breaker position. If you are feeding a three phase service you need a different unit; a 4 jaw single phase socket will not accept a 3 phase meter.
3) Does this Eaton B-Line meter breaker take an overhead or underground service?
Overhead feed. The 217 MTBP is built for a service drop coming in from above; for a lateral coming up from a trench or conduit riser you want the underground feed version of the series.
4) Is this meter socket approved for utilities that require EUSERC equipment?
The 217 MTBP is EUSERC approved and UL listed. Utilities across the western US specify EUSERC construction on service equipment, so this unit is submittable where that is a condition of the meter set.
5) Does the 217 MTBP need a meter ring, and does it have a test block?
It is a ring type socket, so the utility's sealing ring retains the meter. A test block is built in, which many utilities require for metering verification without pulling the meter. Confirm ring type versus ringless with your serving utility before ordering, since the two are not interchangeable.
6) What wall space do I need for a 217 MTBP meter breaker panel?
Plan on a 38 inch tall by 12 inch wide footprint with 4.63 inches of depth off the wall. It weighs 38 lb, so a single installer can set it, but back the mounting into studs or unistrut rather than sheathing alone.
7) Will the 217 MTBP accept 2/0 aluminum service conductors?
Yes. The lug range is #14 through 2/0, which covers the usual copper and aluminum conductor sizes run for a 100 A single phase service.
8) What is the model number for this Eaton B-Line combination meter main?
Order it as B-Line 217 MTBP. That is the Eaton B-Line series catalog number for the 100 A, 4 jaw, 1 position, overhead fed 3R meter breaker with main circuit breaker.
