Milbank M401-UG-BS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Milbank M401-UG meter socket work on 200A underground service, or do I need a full 320A service?
The Milbank M401-UG is built as a 320 continuous ampere service entrance device (400A main breaker inside), single phase, up to 240 volts AC, 60 Hz. You can install it on a smaller service, but the line side lugs take 6 AWG through 350 kcmil, so the conductors a 200A feed uses land fine. The limiting factor is the utility: the socket is a 4 terminal ring type, 1 meter position, underground cable entry. If the utility wants an overhead lever bypass socket or a different jaw count, this is the wrong can.
2) What is the difference between the Milbank M401-UG and the M401-UG-BS?
Bypass. The M401-UG has no bypass; the M401-UG-BS is the link bypass version, which lets the meter be pulled and the service kept energized through the bypass links. Everything else is the same 320A, 4 terminal ring type, underground, plain top socket with the 400A main and 12 circuit load center. Most utilities specify one or the other by name, so check the utility's approved meter equipment list before you pick.
3) Can I feed a subpanel from the Milbank M401-UG, and what size conductors will the load side lugs take?
Yes. Load side wire range on the M401-UG is 3/0 AWG through 300 kcmil, which covers the usual 320A service feeders run to an interior panel. Note the minimum: 3/0 is the smallest conductor the load lugs are rated for, so you cannot land a small feeder directly. Line side terminals are 1/2 inch studs taking 6 AWG to 350 kcmil.
4) Is the Milbank M401-UG rated for outdoor mounting on the side of a building?
Type 3R and UL Listed, so it is made for outdoor service entrance work. The enclosure is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, and the internal insulation is glass polyester. It is a plain top with underground cable entry, so there is no hub opening for a weatherhead riser.
5) Can I use a plain top underground meter socket for overhead service if I punch a hub in it?
Not as furnished. The M401-UG ships plain top for underground entry, which means no factory hub opening and no closing plate provision for a riser. For an overhead drop you need the overhead version of the socket with a hub opening, not a field modification of this can. Cutting a top entry into a Type 3R enclosure voids the UL Listing on it.
6) Will a single phase 320A meter socket work for a 3 phase commercial service?
No. The M401-UG is 1 phase, 4 terminal, up to 240 volts, 60 Hz, which is the standard 120/240V single phase residential and light commercial configuration. A three phase service needs a 7 jaw socket sized to that system. Check jaw count against what the utility specifies before ordering, because 4 terminal is the tell here.
7) How much wall space do I need for a 320A Milbank meter main combo?
Plan on 38 inches high by 24.88 inches wide for the M401-UG enclosure, surface mounted. That is the can alone, before working clearance in front of it. It is a one piece assembly, so you are not stacking a separate load center beside it.
8) How many breaker spaces does the Milbank 320A meter main have, and how many circuits can I actually run from it?
The built in distribution section is a 12 circuit load center, fed by one 400 ampere main breaker. That is the panel capacity in the can itself; anything beyond it has to come off a feeder to a remote panel, landed on the 3/0 AWG to 300 kcmil load lugs.
9) Does the Milbank M401-UG have GFCI outlets and a light built in, or do I add those separately?
Both are integral. Four NEMA 5-20 ground fault receptacles are built into the unit, and it comes with a light kit with photocell that switches on automatically at dusk. For a pedestal or jobsite power application that is the outlet group and the yard light already handled, with nothing to add.
10) Where do the grounding and bonding conductors land in the Milbank 320A meter main?
The M401-UG comes with two barrel ground lugs for equipment grounding, so the grounding electrode conductor and the equipment ground have factory terminations rather than an added kit. Since this is service entrance equipment with the main breaker in the can, the neutral to ground bond is made here and downstream panels are kept isolated.
11) Can the meter on a Milbank M401-UG be sealed and locked for utility service?
Yes. It is a ring type socket, so the meter is secured with a sealing ring, and there is a 7/16 inch knockout for a barrel lock provision if the utility or the owner wants a barrel lock on the cover. For a property manager worried about tampering on a tenant service, that knockout is the piece to point the electrician at.
