The Insights That Keep Projects Moving
ABOUT THE EDGE
FEATURED
Service Entrance Sectioning Metering (SESM)
Single enclosure for less space, fewer penetrations; 100kA SCCR means no cable lashing required; hot/cold sequence metering options meet customer & utility requirements; surface-mounted, and NEMA 1/3R supports indoor and outdoor applications. Great for multifamily and commercial service entrances where space and install time are limited!
The SESM supports 30–400A applications up to 600V, with configurations for three-phase, four-wire and single-phase, three-wire systems. UL 414-compliant and ETL-listed to meet applicable NEMA and NEC requirements, it is service entrance rated and available in both horizontal and vertical configurations, with provisions for top or bottom feed applications.
THE EDGE
Service Connection Cabinets (SCC)
Explore how the Service Connection Cabinet (SCC) from American Midwest Power supports termination and CT applications with added space, installation flexibility, and high-capacity performance. Available in NEMA 1 / 3R configurations, the SCC supports 800A–6000A up to 600V, accommodates #6–750 kcmil conductors, and is ETL listed to UL 1773.
THE EDGE
MMP (Metered Main with Integrated Panelboard)
The MMP (Metered Main with Integrated Panelboard) consolidates all three into a single UL 891 assembly, reducing terminations, simplifying layout, and streamlining installation. Built for real-world installs, it features flexible feed options, dual wireways, and an NEC-aligned design to support faster approvals. A smarter, more efficient approach to service entrance design.
THE EDGE
Bussed Gutter Power Distribution
Bussed Gutter system provides a clean, efficient method for distributing power across multiple sections, allowing flexible equipment connections while reducing wiring complexity and installation time.
THE EDGE
MCT Utility Metering with Main Disconnect
A compact solution that integrates utility CT metering and a main fused disconnect into one engineered cabinet, simplifying service entrance installations while reducing footprint and installation complexity.
THE EDGE
In this episode of The Edge, we highlight the PMTC from American Midwest Power Manufacturing & Supply, Inc. — a newly launched, competitively priced solution engineered for efficient service entrance and utility termination applications. The PMTC integrates a utility termination cabinet with a service entrance main disconnect in a compact, field-ready design. Key features include: 1200A–3000A ratings, up to 600V NEMA 3R rated, UL 891 listed 75”H x 42”W x 39”D compact enclosure Visible blade viewing window Front and rear access Free-standing, pad-mounted configuration Reduced labor and material costs The PMTC provides a streamlined approach to utility terminations while maintaining safety, accessibility, and code alignment.
