ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to multi-position metering apparatus. More particularly, the invention encompasses a wire distributed 5th jaw system for multi-position metering. The present invention is also directed to a novel multi-position metering device with multiple optional 5th terminals. The invention further provides a way to use a single wire as potential to connect all 5th terminals in a multi-position metering device. A single wire with insulation, one end of which is connected to line neutral, is laid out to pass by all meter sockets through designated channel on each meter socket base. The single wire is then stripped on a specified area when it passes on each meter socket for electrical connection to a 5th terminal through a potential. Additionally, an inventive meter socket base has been designed to constraint the 5thterminal distribution wire, 5th terminal potential, and the 5thjaw sub-assembly, and to provide provisions for the 5th jaw sub-assembly to be installed in either a 6 O'clock position or a 9 O'clock position. This invention also encompasses a multiple wire relay distribution system between each individual meter socket. The present invention also provides an alternative way to use multiple wire with terminals chained together to connect all 5thterminals in a multi-position metering device.
