When I am searching for a Eaton 6-position horizontal ganged meter socket online, there is no mains rating listed in the catalog or datasheet. The page 17 of the catalog (https://www.eaton.com/content/dam/e...stems/metering-products-v1-t4-ca08100002e.pdf) only lists ampere rating as 100/150/200A. But I think it is the rating for each socket.
How do I know the mains, main bus rating of the multi-position horizontal ganged meter sockets? If I have a 5-unit multifamily building with one house meter. The main calculated electrical service is 450A. How do I know if the Horizontal Ganged Meter Sockets has enough main bus capacity for my application. I am just very curios the why they don't need to list the main bus rating.
I do find the mains rating in the page 4 of the Square D catalog (https://download.schneider-electric...CT2401-SEC-02.pdf&p_Doc_Ref=0100CT2401-SEC-02).
I am wondering is this kind of multiple Position Horizontal Ganged Meter Sockets being discontinued? I do only see them in very old installation. I am planning to use this kind of meter sockets with individual separate service disconnect switches to meet the NEC 2020 230.62 & 230.71 requirements. I think may be it's better to just use a 6-position meter pack with a stand alone main service disconnect or a 1MM series meter bank with a main service breaker section. Any thoughts?
