Meter socket base is a device used in electrical installations to house the electric meter and provide a secure and weather-resistant connection point for the service entrance conductors. It is typically a metal box with a hinged cover, located on the outside of a building near the main electrical service entrance.

The meter base is an essential component of the electrical system, as it serves as the point of connection between the utility company's power lines and the customer's electrical service. The electric meter is installed in the meter base, and it measures the amount of electricity used by the customer.

Performance Parameters

Rated Current

125A, which handles most low to medium power demand scenarios. It stably carries the corresponding current, ensuring steady current transmission during operation and preventing safety issues and equipment failures caused by overloads.

Rated Voltage

Compatible with multiple common voltage systems, with a maximum withstand voltage of 600V. It adapts well to different voltages, working normally in 120V/240V single-phase power supply systems and other standard voltage environments, ensuring accurate power metering and safe distribution.

Wiring Specifications

Supports wire sizes from #14 to 2/0 AWG. This wide compatibility allows it to fit wires of different thicknesses, making it easy for users to choose the right wires based on actual power needs and wiring conditions, ensuring good electrical connections and low-resistance transmission.

Frequency

Supports the standard 50/60Hz frequency, matching the power grid frequency in most regions. This ensures stable operation in regular electrical environments without abnormalities due to frequency mismatches.

Design Features

01/

5-Terminal Design: The unique 5-terminal structure provides a more stable and reliable connection for the meter. The four contact points are evenly distributed, increasing the contact area with the meter, effectively reducing contact resistance, minimizing heat generation, improving power transmission efficiency, and ensuring accurate meter readings.

02/

Protection Rating: Achieves NEMA 3R protection rating, effectively preventing the intrusion of rainwater, dust, and foreign objects. Whether used in open-air environments exposed to wind and rain or in dusty industrial sites, it ensures the safety of internal electrical components, guarantees stable equipment operation, and reduces the risk of failures caused by environmental factors.

03/

Housing Material: The housing is made of 1.2-1.5mm thick galvanized steel, coated with electrostatically sprayed epoxy and polyester resins, giving it a durable light gray finish. This material not only has excellent mechanical strength to resist certain impacts and external forces but also offers good corrosion resistance. Even when used long-term in outdoor damp, dusty, or harsh environments, it effectively prevents rusting, extending the product's service life.

04/

Wiring Convenience: It has ample wire trough space for easy wiring. Wires can be neatly arranged in the trough, avoiding messy tangles, reducing installation difficulty and time costs. Meanwhile, convenient knockouts are provided on the sides, back, and bottom. Users can easily open the appropriate knockouts according to the actual installation location and wiring direction for flexible wiring. Additionally, it uses clamp-type terminals – simply place the wire in the designated position and tighten the clamp for a secure electrical connection, which is easy to operate without complex tools or professional skills.

Application Areas

Residential Electricity Metering

Serves as the connection socket for household meters, accurately measuring household electricity consumption and providing a reliable basis for electricity bill calculation. Its stable performance and safety design ensure the normal operation of the home power system, allowing users to use electricity with confidence.

Commercial Building Power Distribution

Suitable for small commercial stores, offices, and other places. It can be used to connect meters and distribute power to various electrical areas, meeting the diverse power needs of commercial premises, supporting the normal operation of lighting, office equipment, small appliances, etc., and facilitating the smooth conduct of business activities.

Industrial Facility Auxiliary Power Connection

In some industrial facilities with high requirements for power stability, it can be used as an auxiliary component for power metering and distribution, providing power connections for specific small equipment or areas, ensuring the reliability of power supply and accuracy of metering during industrial production.

Customization

We understand that every project may have unique requirements. Our 125A meter sockets offer customization possibilities as follows:

Color Customization

While the standard baked gray powder polyester paint provides excellent corrosion resistance, we can customize the paint color to match your project's aesthetic or branding needs. Whether you need a specific shade to blend with the electrical panel's surroundings in a high-end commercial space or a color that aligns with your home's exterior theme, we are able to accommodate such requests.

Terminal and Wiring Configurations

Depending on your specific electrical system setup, we can customize the terminal types and wiring configurations. If you have special requirements for wire connections, such as unique terminal sizes or arrangements for easier installation in a compact electrical panel, our team will work with you to create a tailored solution.

Conduit Hub Adaptations

If your project requires non-standard conduit hub sizes beyond the range, or specific hub designs for specialized conduit systems, we can customize the meter socket to fit. This ensures seamless integration with your existing or planned conduit infrastructure.

Enclosure Customization

We can customize various sizes of meter base according to customers' requirements.

Replacement Block Assemblies Compatibility

For related maintenance and upgrades, our replacement block assemblies like PB125- 5J.
