      What this product is for

      The Hydel CT4-WS-BC is a transformer-rated underground meter socket assembly for 120/240V single-phase 3-wire 400A services in British Columbia. It combines the meter socket and breaker in one enclosure for installations where BC Hydro accepted equipment is required.

      Use for

      • 400A underground residential services
      • Large custom homes, duplexes, and multi-service residential projects
      • Light commercial buildings requiring a 120/240V single-phase 3-wire service
      • Projects where BC Hydro accepted meter equipment must be specified before connection

      Avoid for

      • Overhead service applications
      • Services outside BC Hydro territory without confirming local utility approval
      • Applications requiring a different voltage, phase configuration, or jaw arrangement

      Best for

      Best for electricians and contractors needing a 400A underground meter socket with integral breaker that aligns with BC Hydro accepted equipment lists. It is especially useful when service approval, enclosure consolidation, and single-phase 120/240V compatibility are the main buying factors.

      Installed in

      Typically installed outdoors in residential and light commercial service entrances. The legacy listing indicates an enclosure size of approximately 42 in H x 26 in W x 8.5 in D (about 1067 x 660 x 216 mm), which can help with wall space and conduit planning.

      Why this product exists

      This model exists to provide a utility-accepted 400A underground metering solution with integrated overcurrent protection in one assembly. For contractors, that can simplify equipment selection on BC projects compared with piecing together separate metering and disconnect components.

      Compared with similar products

      Compared with overhead meter socket assemblies, this model is intended specifically for underground service. Compared with lower-amp meter bases, a 400A assembly is commonly used where service capacity is higher, such as larger homes or light commercial loads. Actual service sizing depends on calculated demand, installed loads, and local electrical code.
