2 Before You Begin... System Parameters Mounting: Indoor only Input: 208Y/120V AC, 3 Phase, 4 Wire or 120/240V AC, 1 Phase, 3 Wire Maximum line terminal - (2) 500 kcmil/phase Output: 120/208Y, 1 Phase, 3 Wire or 120/240V AC, 1 Phase, 3 Wire, 100 amps continuous/meter position (125 amps maximum) Meter Sockets: 5 jaw, with 5th jaw located at 9 o clock and electrically connected to neutral bus Tenant Circuit Breakers: Use Siemens Type QP 2-pole plug-on circuit breakers, (100 amps maximum) Product Descriptions Siemens New York City Apartment Metering is a versatile, unassembled modular metering product comprised of separate modules that may be assembled to produce a variety of configurations. Only those standard modules shown in this publication will be sold. Installation instructions are shipped with the product. The modules are: Meter Stacks Meter stacks are available from 2 to 5 meter positions, arranged vertically and pre-bussed on the line side. Each meter position is rated 100 amps continuous (125 amps maximum), 5 jaw, with the 5th jaw located at 9 o clock and connected to the stack neutral bus. For indoor mounting only. Line Troughs Line troughs are indoor horizontal wireways that support the meter stacks and supply unmetered line power to meter stack bus. Line trough is available from 2-5 stack positions and may be ganged by means of couplers to accommodate 6 or more stacks. Phase blocks and line terminals are required to terminate line conductors and to provide means to field wire each stack. Trough end walls are ordered separately. Phase Blocks Phase blocks are required to terminate line conductors and provide terminals for field connection to each stack bus. Phase blocks are available with 3, 6 or 12 take-off lugs. 2

3 Line Terminal Kits Line terminals are available in kits of 4 terminals each. The terminals are tang lugs which mount on threaded studs provided on the phase blocks. Terminals are available in 3 sizes: (1) 350 kcmil (1) 500 kcmil (2) 500 kcmil maximum End Wall Kits These kits each contain 4 end walls; 2 end walls for the line trough and 2 end walls for the breaker trough. Coupler Kits These kits each contain 2 trough coupler straps; one for the line trough and one for the breaker trough. These couplers mount using the same mounting screw holes as the end walls. Breaker Troughs Breaker troughs are horizontal indoor wireways that contain provisions for plug-in circuit breakers used as tenant mains. The troughs bolt to the top of the meter stacks. Field wiring connects each meter socket to a circuit breaker mounting block. Breaker troughs are available in 2 to 5 stack positions and can be ganged to accommodate 6 or more stacks. Trough end walls are ordered separately. Circuit Breakers New York City Apartment Metering uses standard 2-pole plug-on circuit breakers, Siemens Type QP, 100 amps maximum. Getting Started Line Trough Spacer Kits These kits may be used to increase wire bend space between the first phase block and line entrance end wall, if necessary. They connect to line troughs with a standard coupling kit. Trough end walls are ordered separately. Before ordering components, the following should be known: installation instructions are shipped with the product. number of meter positions amp rating of each meter position voltage and phase of incoming line line conductor size and quantity per phase vertical and horizontal space limitations, if any Meter stacks are 10 wide and are 10 high for each meter position, or blank position. (A 3-high stack with no blank positions would be 10 wide and 30 high). When considering the overall height of an installation, you must add the height of the line trough (12 ) and the breaker trough (16 ) to the stack height. An installation of 3-high stacks would be 58 in overall height ( = 58 ). All meter stacks in the same meter bank must be the same height to allow the breaker trough to fit on top of the stacks. 3

7 Meter Sockets / Load Centers Product Descriptions Meter Sockets: Design / Performance Features Steel enclosures are fabricated from 16, 14 or 12 gauge, commercial grade G90, zinc coated steel which is mill phosphatized to assure finish adhesion. Enclosure finish is a 2-3 mil organic polyester resin base. Finish is applied inside and outside to clean, and dry metal as an electrostatic charged powder to grounded assemblies. The finished assembly is then oven cured. Enclosure covers (except for ring style sockets) are supplied with a 300 series stainless steel rotary latch with a slot for ribbon or wire seals and a 3/8 diameter hole for a padlock. Ring style sockets have an internal slide latch. Meter socket jaws are fabricated from high conductivity, tin plated, copper alloy. Insulating jaw support blocks are fabricated from a high impact, non-tracking thermoset polyester. Meter socket connectors are fabricated from extruded high conductivity aluminum for lay-in style with either steel (100 ampere) or extruded aluminum (150 and 200 ampere) lug tops. Choice of top endwall options hub openings, closure plates, blank endwalls, hub installed. Complete selection of accessories including hubs, fifth jaws, and meter opening covers. Safety guide reduces chance of accidental contact with energized line jaws during installation or removal of meter or cover. Aligns meter in socket. Performance Engineered Meter Sockets Siemens offers a complete line of single and multiple meter sockets encompassing ring and ringless types in both normal duty and heavy duty construction. Sockets are available to satisfy the mounting requirements for both self-contained and transformer rated meters. Meter Sockets A meter socket is an enclosed device which has jaws to accommodate the matching blade terminals of an S base watthour meter and has connections for terminating the circuit conductors. Siemens offers single-position sockets for one meter or multiple-position sockets for two or more meters. Multipleposition sockets may be fabricated as one complete unit with two or more socket positions, or fabricated as one or more separate socket positions with removable sidewalls, and coupling straps for ganging into a multiple position socket assembly. Ring Type Meter Sockets A ring type meter socket has a socket curl for use with a sealing ring which holds the watthour meter in place. The socket curl is an integral part of the meter socket cover. The cover may be a latch type, secured in place by a latch; or a cross bar type, secured through the cross bar. Ringless Type Meter Sockets A ringless type meter socket has no provision for a socket sealing ring but uses the cover to hold watthour meter in place. The cover is sealable by the utility. Meter Bypass A meter bypass permits changing or testing a meter without interrupting the service. Siemens offers two types of bypasses. Manual bypasses for ringless type meter sockets are factory installed. The lever type is used on 200 ampere devices (200 and 320 Amp Heavy Duty Ringless Socket have Jaw Release - Lever Bypass) and the horn type is used on 125 and 200 ampere devices. Load Centers: Siemens main lug 3-phase load centers are designed specifically for New York City. These panels comply with the New York City Electrical Code (Title B, Article 13, Chapter 30) bulletin 124 and are approved by the Bureau of Electrical Controls Advisory Board. These load centers are designed for use with Siemens circuit breakers. These panels are equipped with wide gutters to allow for wire bending and easier installation. Some features and benefits of the New York City Load Centers are: 3-phase main lug only Wide gutters - load centers over 100 amps; meets New York City Electrical Code; easier installation Dielectric testing - load centers over 100 amps are tested to meet New York City Electrical Code requirements.
