Milbank U1493-X – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Milbank U1493-X 7-terminal socket work for a 3-phase 4-wire 208/120V service?
The U1493-X is a 7-jaw, 3-phase socket rated 600 VAC at 60 Hz, which covers 208/120V and 480/277V 3-phase 4-wire services. Seven terminals is the standard jaw count a utility specifies for 3-phase 4-wire self-contained metering. For a 3-wire delta service the utility typically calls for a 5-jaw socket instead, so confirm the jaw count on the utility's meter spec before ordering.
2) What size service conductors will fit the lugs on this 200A Milbank meter socket?
Both line and load terminals accept 6 AWG through 350 kcmil, and they are lay-in style lugs, so you drop the conductor in rather than threading it through a barrel. At 200 amps that range comfortably covers 3/0 copper or 250 kcmil aluminum feeders, and it also lets you parallel down to smaller taps on a lighter load. A ground lug is provided for the equipment grounding conductor.
3) Does this Milbank ringless socket include a main breaker or disconnect?
No. The U1493-X is a meter socket only, with no main breaker and zero breaker positions. You will need a separate service disconnect or panelboard downstream to satisfy the service-entrance disconnect requirement. The lever bypass is for meter work, not a load disconnect.
4) Does the U1493-X come with a hub for overhead service, or do I need to add one?
It ships with a large closing plate, not a hub. That plate covers the opening for underground or side wireway feeds. If you are coming in overhead with conduit, pull the closing plate and fit a hub sized to your raceway, since the socket itself supports overhead, underground, and side wireway cable entry.
5) What is the difference between the standard U1493-X and the U1493-X-ALT version?
Two versions of this Milbank 7-terminal socket are built: the standard U1493-X and the U1493-X-ALT, which is the Alliant Energy utility-approved configuration. If your service territory is Alliant Energy, order the ALT so the socket matches their approved equipment list. Everywhere else the standard U1493-X is the one to specify.
6) What does the lever bypass on a meter socket actually do for me on the job?
The lever bypass shunts current around the meter jaws so the meter can be pulled, tested, or swapped without dropping the load. For a property manager with tenants on the service, that means meter changes don't become an outage. Many utilities now require bypass on commercial 3-phase sockets, so if your utility spec calls for it, this one has it built in.
7) Can a ringless Milbank U1493-X be installed outdoors on an exterior wall?
Yes. The enclosure is Type 3R rated and UL Listed, built from G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, so rain and sleet exposure on an exterior wall is within its rating. It is a surface-mount unit, not flush or semi-flush, so plan for a flat mounting surface and backing capable of carrying it.
8) Is a ringless meter socket the right choice, or do I need a ring-type socket?
Ringless versus ring-type is dictated by the utility, not by preference. A ringless socket like this one uses a sealable cover over the meter rather than a separate retaining ring, and the utility seals the cover. Many utilities now standardize on ringless for commercial self-contained metering. If the utility's meter spec calls for ring-type, a ringless socket will be rejected at inspection, so match the spec sheet.
9) Is this socket self-contained metering or does it need current transformers?
It is a self-contained socket: one meter position, 7 jaws, rated 200 continuous amperes, with the service conductors landing directly on the lugs. No CTs involved. Above 200 amps the utility generally moves you to CT-rated metering with a separate cabinet, so for services larger than this you want a CT cabinet and transformer-rated socket instead.
10) Can this Milbank socket be used for multiple tenants or separate metering?
No, it is a single-position socket with one set of 7 jaws and no receptacles for additional meters. For multi-tenant metering you need a multi-position meter stack or a meter main pack. Use this one where a single 3-phase service is being metered.
11) What insulates the meter jaws in this Milbank socket?
The jaw block is glass polyester, a thermoset insulating material that holds up to heat and tracking better than a general-purpose plastic. That matters on a 200A 600V socket where the jaw assembly carries continuous current and sees outdoor temperature swings inside a Type 3R shell.
