MODEL OVERCURRENT PROTECTION DISCONNECT SERVICE VOLTAGES MATERIAL
ME1-C-1
 Three-phase circuit breaker Yes 120 to 480 Vac Steel
ME1-F-1
 Three-phase fuses No 120 to 600 Vac Steel
ME1-N-1

PE1-N-1
 None No 120 to 600 Vac Polycarbonate

The ME1-F-1, ME1-N-1, PE1-F-1 and PE1-N-1 do not contain an internal disconnect switch, so an external disconnect switch or circuit breaker is required to disconnect power. The fuse holder is not rated to be operated under load and may not be used as a means of disconnect.

ORDERING

Normally the WattNode Meter Enclosure is ordered with a WattNode meter and the meter will be installed at the factory. If you need to purchase an enclosure without the meter, contact CCS to specify the model of the meter that will be installed, so that CCS builds the enclosure with the correct labeling and wiring diagram.

CUSTOM

CCS can make custom UL 508A enclosures. Contact sales for more information.
