Product Description
A meter base, also known as a meter socket or electric meter enclosure, is a housing that contains the electric meter for a residential or commercial building. The meter base is typically located outside the building and is connected to the electric utility company's power grid.
The meter base is responsible for measuring the amount of electricity that is used by the building and is often connected to the main circuit breaker panel. The electric meter itself typically consists of a spinning disk that is turned by the flow of electricity, and this spinning motion is used to measure the amount of electricity that is used.
Meter bases are usually constructed of a durable and weather-resistant material, such as aluminum or plastic. They are also designed to be tamper-resistant to prevent unauthorized access to the electric meter.
In addition to the meter base itself, there may be additional equipment installed on the housing, such as a disconnect switch or surge protector. These devices are designed to protect the building's electrical system from power surges and other electrical hazards.
Overall, the meter base is a crucial component of the electrical system for any building, as it is responsible for accurately measuring the amount of electricity that is used and ensuring the safe and reliable delivery of power.
