HI Marco,

that might indeed be true.

But there are many references to batteries, battery relay control for battery 
charging, 

pages below all reference to different battery parameters

Curious.

It is not Square D, but a Milbank U5168-XTL-200 would do the trick.

Cheers,

Re: [RE-wrenches] Optimal 200 or 225 Amp Square D MSP All-in-One meter for CT Clamps

2016-02-17 Thread Patrick A. Shortell 
Hi Gregory
If your installing a new load center
Try inserting a 2" "C" condulet
Ahead of the service panel
I'm assuming pvc conduit from meter to panel
Install solid core 200:5 ct's while you pull your cable through
Route the ct leads into the panel along with the phase conductors
Or if you have a meter main
Most have bolted buss connections that you can open and if you stagger the ct's 
and support them with a few cable ties
That could work
But
Your meter probably requires voltage sense and meter power conductors so 
nippling the meter to the panel might be a better solution just so you don't 
have to install additional oc protection in the meter main
Which might be sketchy
Hope I understood your question
Pat

All-in-One meter for CT Clamps 
Wrenches -

Does anyone know of a good spec for a 200 or 225A Square D Main Service Panel 
which has feeders between the meter and Main Disconnect and would be ideal for 
150A CT clamps for monitoring whole house consumption?

I'm finding most MSPs have a short, flat bus between the meter and Main 
Disconnect which requires the Rigowski Coil (requiring more expensive and 
unreliable hardware).

Thank you for your help in advance.
