Milbank U5797-O-400-CB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Milbank U5797-O-400-CB meter socket work on a 480V single-phase service?
The U5797-O-400-CB is built for 480V 1-phase, 60 Hz service, with a 4 terminal jaw configuration and a 600 VAC insulation rating on the enclosure components. It is a single meter position with one main breaker. If the service is three phase, this is the wrong socket, a 4 terminal single phase can will not accept a 3-phase meter form.
2) Is the Milbank U5797-O-400-CB a 400 amp service or a 320 amp service?
Both numbers are real and they mean different things. The breaker is one 400 ampere main, which is the interrupting device size, while the socket carries a 320 continuous ampere rating. 320 continuous is the number the utility and the load calculation work from on a 400A class residential or light commercial service. Size the service as 320 continuous, not 400.
3) What size conductors land in the Milbank U5797-O-400-CB line and load lugs?
Line side takes two conductors per phase, 3/0 AWG through 500 kcmil. Load side takes a single 4 AWG through 600 kcmil, or two conductors of 1/0 AWG through 250 kcmil. Lugs are single mechanical type. So a parallel 350 kcmil feed on the line side lands fine, but a parallel 350 on the load side does not, the dual-conductor load lug tops out at 250 kcmil.
4) Do I still need a separate panel after the Milbank U5797-O-400-CB, or does it feed branch circuits?
You still need a panel. This is a meter socket with main only, one main breaker and zero receptacle or branch breaker positions in the can. It gives you the meter, the service disconnect and overcurrent protection at the service point, then a single load-side feeder out to a distribution panel or panels downstream. If you want metering and branch breakers in one enclosure, that is a meter load center, not this.
5) What is a lever bypass meter socket and do I need one?
Lever bypass lets the meter be pulled and the socket stay energized through the bypass, so the building keeps power while the utility swaps or tests the meter. That matters on anything you cannot dark down: occupied multi-family, medical, refrigeration, data closets. Many utilities also mandate bypass at 320 continuous ampere class services. The U5797-O-400-CB carries lever bypass as standard. If the utility does not require it and the load tolerates an outage, a non-bypass socket is the simpler can.
6) How much wall space does the Milbank U5797-O-400-CB need?
Plan on 6 x 26 x 36 inches, surface mounted, with the 36 inch figure the height and the 26 inch figure the width. It hangs on the wall rather than recessing into it, so the 6 inches stands proud of the finished surface. Add your working clearance in front per code, and remember the meter center has to land in the utility's readable height window.
7) Can this Milbank 400A meter main be mounted outdoors on an exterior wall?
Type 3R, so yes, outdoor wall mounting is what it is built for. The enclosure is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, and the whole assembly is UL Listed. Type 3R sheds rain, sleet and snow, it is not a washdown or hosedown rating, so keep it off of pressure-wash zones and out of standing water.
8) Does a ringless meter socket need a ringless meter, or is that about the cover?
Ringless refers to how the cover is retained, not to the meter. A ringless can uses a hinged or lift-off cover that clamps the meter in place, instead of a separate sealing ring around the meter collar. The meter itself is selected by form and jaw count, and the U5797-O-400-CB is a 4 terminal socket. Utilities in a given territory usually specify ringless or ring type, so match whatever the utility's service requirements call out before ordering.
9) I need one meter can per tenant on a multi-tenant building, is this the right one?
Only if each tenant gets a separate can. The U5797-O-400-CB is a single meter position with one main, so on a multi-tenant property it serves one metered service at a time. For several tenants fed from one point, a multi-position meter stack or a group metering package is the right equipment. Where this fits multi-family is the house service, or a large single 480V 1-phase load at 320 continuous ampere.
10) How is the equipment ground and neutral bonded in the Milbank U5797-O-400-CB?
Ground terminates on a grounding stud in the enclosure, and the current-carrying parts are isolated on glass polyester insulation. That stud is where your grounding electrode conductor and equipment grounding conductors land at the service point. Bonding of the neutral to the can is a service-entrance decision made per NEC by the installer, not a feature of the socket.
