ABSTRACT:
A cable retention mechanism (170) for an electricity metering device (30) including a housing (34) having a cavity, a cover (36) positioned on the housing (34) and enclosing the cavity, and wherein the housing (34) has a cable entry slot (96) adjacent an edge of the cavity for placement of a cable therein. The cover (36) has a first retainer (174) extending outwardly from the housing and positioned adjacent the cable entry slot (96) when the cover (36) is positioned on the housing (34), and a second retainer (176) extending from the cover (36) into the cavity adjacent the cable entry slot (96) when the cover (36) is positioned on the housing (34), whereby the first retainer (174), the slot (96), and the second retainer (176) bend and position the cable in a generally U-shaped configuration when the cover (36) is positioned on the housing (34) and the cable is in the slot (96 ).
