Schneider Electric designed the new CSED to address evolving code requirements and prioritize homeowner safety, combining the meter socket and service disconnect into one enclosure. The new CSED, scheduled to be launched later this year, offers innovative safety and design features, including:

Outdoor disconnect, surge and GFI protection required by NEC 2020
Plug-on Neutral interior seamlessly accommodates existing Plug-on Neutral breakers and surge protection devices
Standardized solar-ready capability for customers seeking a more environmental approach
Newly added four space/eight circuit option
Compact footprint that demands less space, creating a seamless and cleaner install
Three inch (3") service feed conduit to allow for more wiring maneuverability (as required by select utilities)

"Electric codes change, but safety remains paramount for us in the products we offer and for electrical contractors in the products they install," said Richard Korthauer, Senior Vice President, Schneider Electric Home & Distribution US. "By bringing this cutting-edge Combination Service Entrance Device to market, we are supporting electrical contractors by simplifying NEC 2020 compliance and by streamlining solar installation in preparation for the expected increase in demand resulting from the Inflation Reduction Act."

The new CSED is solar-ready and designed to accommodate Wiser™ Energy technology, giving homeowners more control of their evolving energy needs. With Wiser Energy, customers are afforded the opportunity to monitor how their energy is being used down to the device level. Providing real-time energy usage insight allows homeowners to easily spot inefficiencies, set energy goals, reduce waste, and track savings—ultimately maximizing their electrical needs and desires.
