Leviton Telcom 1R277-41 Meter Socket 1-phase 2-wire

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 1R277-41 is a single-element meter socket designed for single-phase, 2-wire outdoor electrical metering applications. This unit serves as the interface between the utility service entrance and the downstream electrical system, providing a secure, weather-exposed mounting point for a utility kilowatt-hour meter. It is installed by licensed electricians during new service construction or service upgrade work. The outdoor-rated housing is built to withstand exposure to the elements while maintaining the electrical integrity required at the service entrance point.

This meter socket is suited for residential or light commercial single-phase service installations where outdoor mounting is required. It is appropriate for use at the utility service entry point on the exterior of a structure, typically mounted on the meter base panel or exterior wall. Electricians working on service entrance upgrades, new construction metering setups, or utility-required replacements will encounter this product type in standard single-phase distribution configurations.

Key Features

• Single-element design for single-phase metering applications
• 2-wire configuration suitable for standard service entrance wiring
• Outdoor-rated for exterior installation at the service entry point
• Sold as an individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation meter socket for single-phase 2-wire outdoor service entrance metering applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 230 governing service entrance equipment. The utility service must be de-energized by the serving utility before any work is performed on the meter socket, as the line-side terminals remain live until the utility pull the meter or disconnects at the transformer. Verify local utility socket acceptance requirements before installation, as some utilities specify approved meter base models. Ensure proper weatherproofing of conduit entries to maintain the outdoor rating of the installation.
