Meter Socket · 3-Gang 200A Main · 200A per Position Underground · Hydel JAL23R-HI
What this product is for
This Hydel multi-position meter socket is used to meter and distribute 120/240V single-phase service where three tenant or service positions are required in one factory-bussed assembly. The JAL23R-HI is intended for underground service entry and is suited to Canadian residential and light commercial metering applications where utility-approved equipment is required.
Use for
Use for underground-fed multi-unit residential services, duplex-to-triplex style service groupings, and small commercial installations requiring three self-contained meter positions. It is commonly selected when a 200A main assembly with 200A per position is specified and a compact 3-gang layout is preferred.
Avoid for
Avoid for overhead-only service layouts, network or 3-phase metering, or projects requiring a different jaw count, utility-specific configuration, or alternate entry hand. Do not assume interchangeability with the overhead JA23R-HI version; verify underground configuration and local utility acceptance before purchase.
Best for
Best for electricians and contractors standardizing on Hydel metering gear for Canadian service installations, especially where underground entry and three meter positions are needed in one enclosure. This format can reduce field assembly compared with separate single-position bases.
Installed in
Typically installed in multi-unit residential buildings, townhouse groupings, secondary suites, and small commercial service entrances. Final installation method, mounting height, conductor selection, and utility sealing requirements depend on local code, utility standards, and site conditions.
Why this product exists
This product combines three meter positions into one factory-bussed enclosure to simplify service grouping and reduce wall space compared with multiple individual sockets. For underground-fed projects, this style helps keep service equipment organized while maintaining separate metering points.
Compared with similar products
Compared with single-position meter sockets, a 3-gang assembly reduces the number of separate enclosures and can simplify layout. Compared with the overhead JA23R-HI, this JAL23R-HI is aligned to underground service entry. As a rule of thumb, multi-position assemblies are commonly chosen to save installation space and reduce field coordination, but actual suitability depends on utility requirements, conductor routing, and service design.
Actual performance and acceptance depend on installation conditions, utility standards, conductor layout, and local electrical code.
