Features and Benefits

Direct Tap Feature

When using Siemens' direct tap Main Lug Feed Kit for services at 600A, no tap box is required. This allows for the connection of main incoming cables directly to the Meter Stack main bus and eliminates the need for a sub service tap box saving considerable installation room.

Flexibility

Siemens service entrance equipment can be top or bottom fed for single connection or feed through applications. A user-friendly combination of knockouts is factory installed at the top to minimize installation time.

Modular Design

Each individual slide-in module design allows for fast installation and provides flexibility for future needs. If the branch requirement changes, the module can be interchanged without changing the complete stack.

Meter Stacks

All meter stacks are designed for “cold metering” in which individual subservice breakers are connected on the line side of the meter sockets thereby protecting the meter and all electrical equipment installed subsequent to it. Main bus connector kits are available to allow the connection of two meter stacks.

240V Meter Stacks can be offered with or without meter sockets.
600V Meter Centers are offered with four 7-Jawed meter sockets rated at 200A each.

Dimensions

Meter Stack Dimensions
Meter Stack Family	Height - Inches (mm)	Width - Inches (mm)	Depth - Inches (mm)
240V Meter Stacks (1PH & 3PH)	78" (1981mm)	14" (356mm)	7 1/4" (184mm)
600V Meter Stack	76 1/4" (1937mm)	20 5/8" (524mm)	13 15/16" (354mm)

Meter Sockets

Meter socket jaws consist of tin plated copper with steel spring reinforced clips for reliable contact pressure. The positive alignment of jaws and stabs is assured by bus straps which are bolted in place for 240V meter centres and factory installed for 600V meter centres.

240V Meter Stacks can fit sockets with 4 to 7 Jaws and rated up to 200A each
600V Meter Stacks can fit up to four 7 Jawed Sockets rated at 200A each

Tap Boxes

A Tap Box mounts directly next to the Meter Stack and is required to accommodate the incoming main service cable, unless a Main Lug Feed Kit is used for a 240V Meter Centre at 600A.

Standard and Feed Through tap boxes are availble at 600A or 1200A with connecters included. They can be offered with punched or unpunched aluminum or fiber entry plates.
