Midwest Electric r281cb1 200A Metered Ringless Panel

Product Description

The MIDWEST ELECTRIC PRODUCTS r281cb1 is a 200-amp, single-phase, metered ringless power outlet panel designed for service entrance applications at residential and light commercial structures. Built from G90 galvanized steel with a zinc-coated finish, it is housed in a NEMA 3R enclosure rated for outdoor use. The unit operates at 120/240 volts and accepts wire sizes ranging from 6 to 350 KCMIL stranded copper or aluminum at the line meter socket. Surface-mount installation and factory-assembled wiring make this unit suitable for licensed electricians performing new-construction or replacement service entrance work.

The r281cb1 is intended for outdoor surface-mount installations on single-family residences and mobile homes where the National Electric Code requires service entrance-rated electrical distribution equipment. The cabinet measures 14-3/8 inches wide, 28-5/8 inches tall, and 4-3/4 inches deep, fitting standard surface-mount applications. The first-position circuit breaker type is CB4200H. Multiple wire configurations are supported across load base lug, neutral, and ground positions, accommodating copper and aluminum conductors in both solid and stranded form.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electric Code and applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out all upstream power sources before beginning any wiring work. The NEMA 3R enclosure requires proper weatherproof conduit fittings at all entry points to maintain its outdoor rating. Verify conductor sizing and termination torque requirements per NEC Article 230 and the equipment labeling before energizing.
