It is designed for residential and light commercial electrical service installations where the utility meter and main disconnect are integrated into a single enclosure. Built from G90 galvanized steel with a zinc-coated, polyester powder coat finish, the enclosure meets NEMA 3R requirements for outdoor use and carries UL listing. All components arrive factory wired and assembled, which reduces on-site installation time. The dead front construction prevents accidental contact with energized parts, and a padlock provision secures the enclosure against unauthorized access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R281C1 is suited for surface mounting on exterior walls in residential new construction and service upgrade applications. It accepts a wide range of wire sizes across multiple termination points, including conductors up to 350 KCMIL at the line meter socket and load base lugs accepting 1 to 4 AWG stranded copper or aluminum. Loop-feed terminals and a broad range of concentric knockouts allow flexibility in conduit routing and wiring configurations. The unit accommodates copper or aluminum conductors at all terminals, making it compatible with both legacy and current utility service conductor materials. The removable door simplifies installation in tight service locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMetered ringless type with 200-amp current rating at 120\/240 volts, 1-phase\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eG90 galvanized steel construction with zinc-coated polyester powder coat finish resists corrosion, chipping, and fading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNEMA 3R enclosure rated for outdoor, weatherproof installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll components factory wired and assembled to reduce field labor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDead front construction prevents accidental contact with live parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLoop-feed terminals and concentric knockouts provide flexible conduit and wiring entry options\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts copper or aluminum conductors at all terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePadlock provision for tamper and unauthorized access prevention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style surface mount service entrance unit for residential and light commercial 200-amp, 1-phase electrical service applications.
