Section 5 2011 Electric Service Requirements, 2 nd Edition 5.1.1 Meter Clearance Dimensions The following unobstructed level working spaces are required (NEC 110.26 A): In front of a single meter: 78” high, 36” wide, and 36” deep With current transformers: 78” high, 70” wide, and 48” deep Meter installed in a cabinet: 36” deep from the edge of the cabinet door when it is opened 90 degrees. The center of any meter socket shall be set no more than 6 feet or no less than 4 feet above the finished grade or floor immediately in front of the meter, except for the center of meter sockets in pedestals set with a 42-inch minimum clearance above the finished grade. For minimum height requirements on installations of meter gangs three or more, refer to Sections 8 and 10. Figures 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 illustrate the proper working space for meter installations. 5.1.2 Residential Meters Install residential meters outdoors at a location acceptable to the Power Company. Locate the meter within 10 feet of the front (street side) of the dwelling, on the side of the dwelling closest to the Power Company’s source, avoiding locations behind fences. Avoid installations near windows (see Figure 5.2.1 for clearance requirements). Where there is no suitable location available on the structure, free-standing metering installation at a location approved by the Power Company may mitigate clearance issues. 5.1.3 Meters in Gated Areas Gated outdoor areas are generally not considered accessible. Metering equipment located within a gated area may be approved on a case-by-case basis; consult the Power Company prior to installation. If prior approval is granted by the Power Company, a gated entry keyed for a Power Company lock or equipped with a Power Company-provided lock box is required for 24-hour access. 5.1.4 Access If a customer makes a meter inaccessible (as determined by the Power Company), for example, by installing a deck, fence, or enclosure, the customer shall, at their expense, either modify the area to provide safe, unobstructed access to the meter, or move the meter socket to a location acceptable to the Power Company. Devices mounted below the meter, with the exception of junction boxes, are not acceptable. 18 This manual shall be distributed and interpreted in its entirety. Individual pages will not represent all the requirements necessary for an installation.
