Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is a 320A meter socket, and how does it compare to a 400A service?

A 320A meter socket is a BC Hydro-approved self-contained metering solution for single-phase 120/240V services. Unlike a 400A CT service, which requires expensive metering equipment, a 320A meter base allows direct metering, saving time and costs.

2. Is the Hydel 320A meter socket approved by BC Hydro?

Yes! The Hydel 320A meter socket is officially approved by BC Hydro for 320A self-contained metering starting February 3, 2025.

3. What are the installation requirements for 320A meter sockets?

BC Hydro requires that 320A meter sockets be used with two 200A panels. The total continuous amperage (320A) is a perfect match for two 200A panels (160A each).

4. Can I install a dual 200A meter setup instead of a 320A meter socket?

No, BC Hydro does not allow dual meter bases for a single dwelling unit. If you’re installing a 320A service, a BC Hydro-approved 320A meter socket is required.

5. Where can I buy Hydel 320A meter sockets?
