how do i wire a westinghouse electric meter. type ca, single phase, 3 wire.?

Question

there is 4 places to put wires at the bottom of the meter. even though the meter says 3 wire.

Answer 1

Two for the source legs, two for the load legs. The common neutral conductor does not pass through the meter.

A three-wire service has two hot leads and one neutral.

Answer 2

The meter housing only has three "Circuit Conductors." Circuit conductor means these wires are intended to carry current (Of which only two wires actually pass thru the meter). The 3 connections on top are to the utility, the bottom are to the service equipment. The outer two are usually the Hots (Phases) that go through the meter, the inner one, which is commonly just a solid link with terminals top and bottom, is the Neutral (White). The fourth connection on the bottom, if it's present, is likely welded to the enclosure itself and is for bonding the metallic parts of your service equipment together.

If the utility is going to come out to connect power to this meter, they'll want it to have passed an inspection (Either on a homeowner's permit or a contractor's). If you're making this connection yourself, don't get shocked on the line side!

Service equipment should really be wired up or inspected by a licensed contractor, and inspected by the state or city as well. A proper Main Bonding Jumper is essential to making service equipment safe. Mistakes here can create an unsafe situation at the very least, outright dangerous possibly.

Answer 3

No. This 3 section 220 motor is probable an induction motor. it can not be run on a single section.i think it must be extensive redesigned to artwork as a single section motor however the stator windings could must be rewound and the rotor maximum probable could ought to get replaced. it may be extra much less costly to purchase a a hundred and twenty/240 single section induction motor.

Answer 4

It doesn't matter what goes where... Just lick your fingers first.
