Electric utility meter

[hhsting]

I have plans that say 240/120V, 200A, 2P, Nema 3R utility company meter.

Do electric utility meter has poles? It says 2P?

Sounds like your bog-standard single-phase meter. (Yes, they have poles if you want to call them that- look up all the different meter socket arrangements.)

Be sure to check your local utility requirements.

The local orange box sells several that are not approved.

The POCO sets the rules for the cash register. If they want it painted purple, then so be it. Our POCO has a very well done customer service handbook, its well coordinated with the NEC

Yes. Your utility company will have an approved supplier like Milbank that we have here. Go to their website and see if they have a catalog section for wherever you are and whoever your POCO is.

You cannot use any meter pan other than who and what they specify.
