1. One side of the clamp may be larger for the “main” or “run” conductor, referring to
the existing load side service entrance neutral conductor within the meter socket.
Often there is no need to disconnect the existing wire provided there is enough slack
to manipulate the conductor.
2. Termination point for the “tap” conductor, in this case the ConnectDER neutral
pigtail.
Check to see that the connector you select is
available in sizes to accommodate the correct range of run and tap conductors
suitable for use for either copper or aluminum conductors
UL listed or otherwise approved by the utility and AHJ.
If a neutral pigtail other than the furnished AWG size is required, it must be
furnished by the installer. Wire terminations at the ConnectDER must be made with
copper conductors only.
WARNING Install this and other neutral termination options in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions.
