3Ø–1Ø OUT EZM Branch Unit Phase Balancing Flexibility

Starting Position

Possible Ending Position
(By moving only one “Z” connector)

AØ and BØ can be changed to AØ and CØ
AØ and CØ can be changed to AØ and BØ or BØ and CØ
BØ and CØ can be changed to AØ and CØ

The major benefit of factory phase balancing is that most jobs will not require field phase balancing. To see if meter socket phase balancing in the field is required, do the following (refer to wiring diagram for complete instructions):

A. Determine if the load in amperes on each phase of the transformer using handle rating of tenant circuit breakers installed at each number of meter sockets. Use Phase Balancing Chart to determine total number of connections each meter socket makes on each phase of transformer.

B. If phase balancing is required, determine which meter sockets should be changed to properly phase balance metering equipment lineup.

C. Once meter socket(s) is selected to be phase balanced, remove individual meter socket cover from each meter socket to be phase balanced. The vertical bus bars running top to bottom in the branch unit behind each meter socket are phased: AØ, BØ, CØ, left to right.

D. By moving only the line side meter socket “Z” shaped connectors per meter socket to be changed, phase balancing can easily be accomplished on-site:

Example: To change an AØ and CØ meter socket to a BØ and CØ socket

Starting Position
Meter Socket Phaseing: AØ and CØ

Step 2: Loosen hex nut from AØ line side meter socket jaw and slide “Z” connector down to free connector from stud.

Step 1: Remove hex nut from AØ line side connection to vertical bus.

Step 3: Rotate “Z” connector to right and align with stud on BØ vertical bus.

Step 4: Slide “Z” connector up to engage stud on BØ vertical bus. Torque hex nut of meter socket jaw to 75 lb-in (8 N•m).

Step 6: Replace hex nut (removed in Step 1) onto stud of BØ vertical bus and torque to 75 lb-in (9 N•m).

Phase balancing of meter socket is complete: BØ and CØ.

Footnotes

  1. Snap-On aluminum sealing rings supplied as standard.
  2. 800 A rated Horizontal Cross Bus is standard for most configurations. 1200 A cross bus is available for most configurations and is typically noted with an X suffix. Cross bus may be Copper or Aluminum unless CU appears in the part number, as "CU "indicates all bus is copper.
  3. Supplied with removable drip hood and equipped with an indoor top endwall with knockouts provided.
  4. Compatible with a branch terminal box accommodating a maximum conductor size of 300 kcmil when voltage drop calculations require sizes over 2/0, see Table 1.35: Accessories.
  5. Distance between meter sockets as measured from centerline to centerline is 10 inches.

  6. 2P Type QO (40–125 A, 10 kA max. meter center SCCR) or QO-VH and QO-H (40–60 A, 100 kA max. meter center SCCR) may be installed using EZM125QOA adapter kit, see Tenant Circuit Breakers.
  7. For 240/120 Vac Delta Systems add Suffix “CA” to catalog number (Example: EZM316125CA). All meter sockets are phased A and C only. Price remains the same as the base catalog number. Order only branch units, not stocked in PDS (6-week delivery).
  8. Supplied with bondable neutral, suitable for use as service equipment. Use main lugs terminal box type EZM-TBU for Six Disconnect Rule applications to feed this device. Supplied with copper horizontal bus bars and aluminum vertical bus bars.

  9. Does not meet EUSERC 48 in. minImum / 75 in. maximum meter height requirements for outdoor installations. The bottom meter socket is 37 inches above ground when the device is mounted with the top meter socket at 75 inches above ground. EUSERC indoor requirements are 36 in. minimum / 75 in. maximum.

    For 400 A maximum Commercial Branch Units, see Branch Units—400 A Maximum Commercial .

  10. Supplied with Class 320 lever bypass meter socket. Use anti-inversion clip kit, catalog number MMLRK, if required. See Tenant Circuit Breakers and EZM Accessories.
  11. LJL circuit breaker has adjustable trip settings from 125-400 A. Use seal kit MICROTUSEAL, if required. LJL circuit breaker terminal lug kit factory-installed and accommodates (2) 2/0-500 kcmil Cu-Al per phase. Alternate lug kit AL400L61K3 for LJL circuit breaker is available, see Tenant Circuit Breakers and EZM Accessories.
  12. For 240/120 Vac Delta Systems add Suffix “CA” to catalog number (Example: EZML311400CA). All meter sockets are phased A and C only. Price remains the same as the base catalog number. “Order only” branch units, not stocked in PDS (4–6 week delivery). Order point Lexington.
