Leviton Telcom 2R208-21 3-element Meter Socket

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 2R208-21 is a 3-element meter socket designed for use on 120/240/208-volt, 3-phase, 4-wire electrical services. Meter sockets provide the utility-side enclosure and jaw contacts that accept a plug-in kilowatt-hour meter, allowing accurate measurement of electrical consumption at the service entrance. This type of socket is typically installed by licensed electricians on commercial and light-industrial services where 3-phase power distribution is required. The 3-element configuration supports metering across all current-carrying conductors in a wye or delta service arrangement.

This meter socket is suited for commercial and light-industrial electrical service entrance installations where 3-phase, 4-wire metering is required. It is commonly installed at the point of utility interconnection on panel boards and service entrance equipment that operate on 120/240 or 208-volt 3-phase systems. Electricians working in multi-tenant commercial buildings, small manufacturing facilities, or mixed-use structures will encounter this type of metering hardware during new construction and service upgrade projects.

Key Features

• 3-element design supports full metering of 3-phase, 4-wire electrical services
• Compatible with 120/240-volt and 208-volt 3-phase service configurations
• Accepts standard plug-in kilowatt-hour meters for utility or submetering applications
• Single-unit packaging for individual service point installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation meter socket for 3-phase, 4-wire commercial electrical service entrances rated at 120/240 or 208 volts.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local utility requirements. The service entrance must be de-energized and cleared with the utility provider before any work on the meter socket enclosure or jaw contacts. Verify that the service voltage and phase configuration match the socket rating before mounting. Do not install a meter into the socket until all wiring connections have been inspected and approved by the authority having jurisdiction.
