Milbank U1980-XL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Milbank U1980-XL meter socket work for a 200 amp residential service upgrade?
Yes for a single phase 200 amp service. The U1980-XL is a 4 terminal, 1 position ringless socket rated 200 continuous amps at 600 VAC, 60 Hz. It has no main breaker built in, so the service disconnect has to be a separate panel or breaker enclosure downstream. Always confirm the socket you install is on your serving utility's approved list before you set it.
2) What size conductors can I land in this Milbank ringless meter socket?
Lay-in terminals take 6 AWG through 350 kcmil on both the line side and the load side, so 4/0 aluminum or 2/0 copper service entrance conductors for a 200 amp service land without an adapter. The lay-in design means you drop the conductor into the terminal rather than threading it through a hole, which is faster on stiff 350 kcmil.
3) Can this meter socket be fed overhead, or do I need a different one for an underground lateral?
Same socket either way. Cable entry is rated for overhead, underground, and side wireway, so one part covers a weatherhead drop, an underground lateral from a pad transformer, or a side gutter feed into an adjacent panel.
4) Is the Milbank U1980-XL rated for outdoor mounting on an exterior wall?
Yes. It is UL Listed with a Type 3R enclosure rating, which covers outdoor exposure to rain, sleet and ice, and it is a surface mount unit meant to be fastened to the exterior wall or a meter pole. Body is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish for corrosion resistance.
5) What is the difference between the standard, horn bypass, and quadplex ground versions of the U1980?
Three build options, and the utility usually dictates which one. U1980-XL is the plain socket with no bypass. U1980-XL-KK adds a horn bypass so a meter can be pulled without dropping power to the load. U1980-XTL-QG-CAPL is a horn bypass with quadplex ground built to Carolina Power and Light requirements. If your utility is CP and L or Duke's Carolina territory, order that one; otherwise match whatever bypass your utility specifies.
6) Does this Milbank socket include a main breaker or a disconnect?
No. It is a meter socket only, with zero main breakers and no receptacles. For a combination meter main you need a different unit. Here the service disconnect has to be installed separately, typically a 200 amp main breaker panel or a fused disconnect immediately downstream.
7) Will a 4 terminal socket work for my 120/240V single phase service?
Yes. Four jaws is the standard configuration for a single phase, 3 wire 120/240V self contained residential or light commercial service, and this socket is single phase with a 600 volt insulation class. If you are metering a three phase service you need a 7 jaw socket instead, not this one.
8) How much wall space do I need for this 200 amp Milbank socket?
The enclosure measures 4.5L x 13W x 15.25H inches. That 4.5 inch depth off the wall matters most on tight siding returns and behind gates, and the 13 by 15.25 inch face is what has to clear siding trim and any adjacent disconnect.
9) Does a ringless meter socket need a sealing ring, and why would I pick ringless over ring type?
No ring required. A ringless socket uses a hinged or removable cover that seals over the meter instead of a separate sealing ring band, which is what most utilities in ringless territories require. The choice is not really yours to make, it is set by your serving utility, so check their meter base spec before ordering. This U1980-XL is the ringless version.
10) What insulates the jaws in this meter socket?
Glass polyester. That is the molded block the meter jaws are set into, and it is what holds dielectric strength at the 600 volt rating and resists tracking in a damp 3R enclosure.
