Residential Meter Breakers
Product Description
A meter breaker is service
entrance equipment that
consists of a single meter
socket and loadcenter (circuit
breaker distribution section)
or meter socket and main
breaker combined in one
enclosure. Sometimes called
Combos, All-in-Ones, Meter
Centers or Meter Mains,
these units are increasing in
popularity as the socket and
loadcenter or main breaker
are located in one location,
thus providing the contractor
with a labor and material
savings when installing.
Application Description
In addition to residential
installations, meter breakers
are equally applicable for rural
service entrance, mobile
homes and construction site
temporary power. Meter
breakers are most often sold
in the western, southwestern
and southeastern United
States. The popularity of
meter breakers is continuing
to increase as more utilities
deregulate and pass the
responsibility of supplying
watthour meter sockets on
to the electrical contractor.
