Milbank U5883-X-KK-K1-PED-CECHA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Milbank U5883-X 3-position meter socket handle 200 amps per meter, or 200 amps total?
The U5883-X is rated 200 continuous amperes, single phase, up to 240 volts AC at 60 hertz, with three meter positions and three branch circuits. Each position carries a breaker provision, so the socket is built around 200A service equipment rather than a single 200A bus split three ways. Line side lugs take 6 AWG through 350 kcmil and load side lugs take 1 AWG through 300 kcmil, which is the wire range you size to when you pull service conductors and the three feeders.
2) Does the Milbank U5883-X come with main breakers, or do I have to buy them separately?
Breakers are not included. The U5883-X is supplied with a main breaker provision, meaning the mounting and bus are there and you install the branch breakers yourself. Plan on ordering three breakers to fill the three branch circuit positions, plus the meter sockets themselves are 4-5 terminal ringless. Budget the breakers as a separate line on the job.
3) How much wall space do I need for a Milbank 3-position ringless meter socket?
Lay out for 5.125L x 34.563W x 30H inches. That is a wide, relatively shallow surface mount enclosure, so the constraint on most jobs is the 34.563 inch horizontal run of clear wall, not the depth. It surface mounts, so no recess pocket or backbox cavity is needed, and the 5.125 inch depth is what projects off the finished wall.
4) Can a Milbank U5883-X meter socket be mounted outdoors on an exterior wall?
Yes. The enclosure is UL Listed and Type 3R, which is the rainproof outdoor rating used for service equipment on an exterior wall. The shell is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish for corrosion resistance. Type 3R is not a washdown or submersion rating, so keep it out of direct spray and standing water locations.
5) Does the U5883-X work for an underground service lateral, or only overhead?
Both. Cable entry is overhead or underground on the U5883-X, and it ships with the large hub closing plate so you can open the top for a service mast hub on an overhead drop, or leave the top closed and bring conductors up from below on a lateral. The line side terminals accept 6 AWG through 350 kcmil either way.
6) My utility requires a barrel lock on the meter socket. Which Milbank U5883-X version do I order?
Order the U5883-X-KK-BL. That variant carries the 9/16 inch knockout and angle bracket for barrel lock provision, which is what a utility means when they ask for barrel lock capability on a ringless socket. Ordering the plain U5883-X and adding a lock in the field is how these fail inspection at the utility, so specify the -BL suffix up front when the meter authority calls for it.
7) What is the difference between the U5883-X and the U5883-X-KK horn bypass version?
The -KK suffix adds horn bypass. Horn bypass lets the utility pull a meter without dropping power to the tenant, and many utilities require it on multi-position sockets. The plain U5883-X is the standard no-bypass build. Beyond those two, the family runs to U5883-X-KK-5T for a 5 terminal horn bypass horizontal, and U5883-X-KK-K1 for horn bypass with a single connector. Check the serving utility's meter spec sheet before picking, because the bypass style is their call, not the installer's.
8) Is there a Milbank U5883-X version approved by Alliant Energy or CECHA?
Yes, two utility-specific builds exist. The U5883-X-KK-K1-ALT is the horn bypass single connector version listed as Alliant Energy approved, and the U5883-X-KK-K1-PED-CECHA is the horn bypass pedestal mount horizontal version listed as CECHA approved. If you are working in either service territory, order the matching suffix rather than the generic build, since the utility will reject a socket that is not on their approved list.
9) Will the Milbank U5883-X work on a 3-phase service?
No. The U5883-X is single phase, up to 240 volts AC, 60 hertz. For a 3-phase commercial service you need a 3-phase multi-position socket instead, so do not spec this one for a 208Y/120 three-phase building panel feed.
10) Can I set a Milbank 3-position meter socket on a pedestal instead of a building wall?
Yes, but you have to order the pedestal build. The base U5883-X is a surface mount enclosure meant for a wall. For a freestanding installation, the U5883-X-KK-K1-PED is the horn bypass pedestal mount with single connector, and U5883-X-KK-K1-PED-CECHA is the horizontal pedestal version approved by CECHA. This matters on manufactured housing parks, RV sites, and detached multi-unit projects where there is no wall to hang 34.563 inches of enclosure on.
11) Should I use a 3-position meter socket or three individual meter sockets for a triplex?
A 3-gang socket like the U5883-X gives you one service entrance, one set of line side taps rated 6 AWG to 350 kcmil, and one enclosure to mount, instead of three separate services. That is the usual choice on a triplex or a small strip center where all three tenants feed off one utility drop and each needs its own bill. Individual sockets make sense when the units are physically separated, when the utility wants distinct service points, or when you are adding one unit to an existing building. The tradeoff is that all three meters land in one 34.563 inch wide enclosure, so you need the contiguous wall space and the utility clearance in front of it.
12) What size feeder conductors can I land in the Milbank U5883-X load side lugs?
Load side terminals accept 1 AWG through 300 kcmil, so each of the three tenant feeders has to fall in that range. If your feeder calc lands smaller than 1 AWG, you will need a reducer or a pigtail to make a proper termination. Line side, the service conductors can run 6 AWG up to 350 kcmil.
13) Is the U5883-X ringless or ring type, and does it matter for my meters?
It is a ringless socket, meaning the cover retains the meter rather than a sealing ring around the rim. Utilities specify one or the other and will not accept the wrong style, so confirm the meter authority wants ringless before ordering. The socket takes 4-5 terminal meters across the three positions.
14) I need to standardize meter sockets across a portfolio of small apartment buildings. What identifies this Milbank unit on a submittal?
Cite it as Milbank U5883-X, a ringless 3-position meter socket, 200 continuous amperes, single phase, up to 240 volts, UL Listed Type 3R, G90 galvanized steel with powder coat. The UNSPSC code is 39121102 if your procurement system classifies by that. For repeat orders across a portfolio, lock in the suffix as well as the base number, since the bypass, barrel lock, and pedestal options change the part.
15) Does the Milbank U5883-X have a ground lug, or do I add a ground bar kit?
A ground lug is included for the equipment ground, so no separate bonding kit is required to land the grounding electrode conductor at the socket. That is one less accessory to chase on the material list for a service change.
16) Does the Milbank 3-position meter socket include a receptacle for house loads?
No receptacles are built into the U5883-X, the count is zero. House loads such as site lighting or a common area circuit have to be fed from a separate house panel or a fourth metered position on a different socket, since all three positions here are tenant branch circuits.
