ABSTRACT:
A socket for a watt-hour meter is provided with a manual by-pass device to prevent interruption of power to a load when the watt-hour meter is removed from the socket. The manually operable by-pass device comprises a slider having a pair of contact bridges mounted on a body portion of the slider. The slider is mounted on an insulating base of the by-pass device for reciprocable movement. The bar is supported by contact brackets which are connected to line and load terminals of the meter socket, the slider being reciprocably movable to provide selective engagement between the contact brackets and the contact bridges when the watt-hour meter is removed from the socket.
