These wired meter poles have a socket, mast, and 200-amp main breaker (or fuses for 600-volt rated disconnect poles). The breaker box includes new positions suitable for connecting outdoor electrical equipment such as heat pumps and water pumps. Sumter EMC will also deliver and set the meter pole for an additional fee. See the fee chart below.
