e) A similar component.

A meter socket does not have provision for installation of instrument transformers within the meter socket enclosure.

1.7 These requirements cover meter sockets rated:

a) 300 volts alternating current or less, or 600 volts alternating current and

b) 400 amperes maximum per meter position.
