Meter Breakers
Residential Meter Breakers
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 load-
center 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 tempo-
rary power. Meter breakers are most
often sold in the western, southwest-
ern and southeastern United States.
The popularity of meter breakers is
continuing to increase as more utilities
deregulate and pass the responsibility
of supplying watt-hour meter sockets
on to the electrical contractor.
