Retrofit Kit

When to use a Retrofit Kit

Retrofit kits make it possible to upgrade your existing pedestals into smart-metered pedestals without tearing them out or buying new ones.

This saves thousands of dollars in infrastructure costs and avoids the downtime of a full pedestal replacement.

It’s the fastest way to introduce revenue-grade smart metering across your park while extending the life of your current electrical infrastructure.

Installation Considerations

Mounting Options: Some pedestals have a removable plate designed for mounting a meter socket hub. Others may require a drilled hole and the use of a Myers hub or similar adapter to run wiring and secure the socket kit.

Surface-Mount Pedestals: These are more challenging to wire because they usually lack a LINE-side bus bar. In these cases, the wiring from the utility or main panel may need to be extended directly to the meter socket.

Wiring: Wire gauge typically ranges from #2 to #6 depending on the pedestal’s load rating.
