ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for securing a current transformer to an electric utility meter housing. The arrangement includes a utility meter base plate which forms a portion of the electric utility meter housing. The utility meter base plate includes (i) a first central axis and (ii) a transformer receptacle defined therein. The transformer receptacle has an opening and a first retention surface. The arrangement also has a current transformer assembly including (i) the current transformer and (ii) a wall member affixed to the current transformer. The wall member defines an annular channel having a second central axis, and the current transformer is positioned within the annular channel. The transformer assembly also includes a tab having a second retention surface. The tab extends from the wall member. The current transformer assembly is secured to the utility meter base plate, such that the first central axis is substantially parallel with the second central axis, when the tab is disposed within the transformer receptacle so that the first retention surface engages the second retention surface. An associated method of securing a current transformer to an electric utility meter is also disclosed.
