ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a meter socket pan and assembly for connection of an electrical meter between a line bus terminal and a branch load terminal. The pan includes a one-piece support base having a generally flat front face and a back face, and a top, bottom and side edges. The base is made of a non-conductive plastic material adapted to support the electrical meter. A socket base is integrally formed on one end of the front face of the support base. The socket base electrically and mechanically connects to an electrical meter. A test base is integrally formed on the opposite end of the front face of the support base. The test base secures thereto a line and load terminal. The test base also reversibly closes the circuit between the line and load terminals. The socket pan also electrically connects the socket base and the reversibly closing test base.
