Service rated cable termination cabinets house service conductors and are the point of delivery where the utility company’s facilities are first connected to the customers facilities. EMI produces two types of service rated cable termination cabinets to ensure our customers have the equipment they need to safely hook up to their utility supply.
Cable Termination Cabinets with Metering Provision
Service termination cabinets with metering provisions include bus construction which allows for the installation of utility company provided metering transformers. Utility conductors terminate on the line side of the cabinet, and customer conductors terminate on the load side of the cabinet. EMI cable termination cabinets with metering provisions are 54 inches wide and comply with most utility company standards.
Non-Provision Cable Termination Cabinets
EMI also manufactures non-provision cable termination cabinets. Non-provision cabinets are often installed on the load side of the service entrance equipment and used as tap boxes, but they can also be used on the line side of service equipment in certain cases. These cabinets do not house utility company metering transformers but can be used as a tap box to feed multiple separately metered services.
EMI’s non-provision cable termination cabinets come in two sizes. Our standard-sized cabinet is 42 inches wide, and our larger cabinet is 54 inches wide. When connecting to Xcel Energy facilities the 54-inch wide cabinet must be used, since Xcel requires cable termination cabinets in its territory accommodate a neutral disconnecting link.
