Frequently Asked Questions
What is a test block bypass meter socket?
A test block bypass meter socket includes an integrated switching mechanism that allows the utility to bypass the revenue meter during testing or replacement, maintaining uninterrupted electrical service to the customer while the meter is being serviced.
What does "ringless" mean on a meter socket?
Ringless refers to the cover design — instead of a separate locking ring holding the meter in place, a ringless socket uses a cover that latches over the meter jaw assembly. Many utilities require ringless sockets as they provide better tamper resistance and access control.
What is NEMA 3R?
NEMA 3R is an enclosure rating that indicates the unit is suitable for outdoor installation, providing protection against rain, sleet, and ice without compromising equipment operation.
