Selection Information

Class 4100 / Refer to Catalog 4100CT0701

Selection Information

  • Review local utility requirements to ensure that metering equipment meets their standards.

  • Check local utility to determine available fault current at the meter center.

  • Using the SCCR table:

    • Select meter center configuration, main lugs only (Six Disconnect Rule), or remote main, main circuit breaker, or main fusible switch.

    • Read down to select SCCR equal to, or greater than desired rating.

    • Read across to select branch unit tenant circuit breaker type.

    • Continue reading across to select EZM main device type.

Footnotes

  1. Tenant circuit breakers of same frame size having higher AIR values may replace tenant circuit breakers as listed in this table and maintain the series rating.
  2. Meter center short circuit current rating is equal to the lowest short circuit current rating given in table for any circuit breaker installed in any meter panelboard in the meter center.

  3. Short circuit current rating is measured at the LINE SIDE terminals of the integral mounted or remote mounted main providing overcurrent protection for the EZM metering equipment lineup.

  4. For three-tier series ratings refer to Data Bulletin 4100DB0301.

  5. Requires use of EZM125QOA adapter (order separately).

  6. 3P only tenant circuit breaker(s) are limited to: 100 kA Max. at 208Y/120 Vac or 65 kA Max at 240/120 Vac.

  7. Supplied with factory-installed circuit breaker(s), with an adjustable trip range of 125–400 A.
