The Enphase IQ Meter Collar is a meter socket adapter with an integrated microgrid interconnection device (MID) and current sensors for energy consumption metering. The IQ Meter Collar is rated at 200 A and can be installed on an ANSI C12 Form 2S meter socket rated up to 200 A continuous operation. It can be installed either at the service entrance directly on the utility meter socket or on a load-side standalone meter socket.

The IQ Meter Collar is not only compatible with 3rd generation Enphase Energy Systems, installed with IQ System Controller 3M and IQ Battery 5P, but it is also compatible with 4th generation Enphase Energy Systems installed with the IQ Combiner 6C and IQ Battery 10C.

IQ Meter Collar can be used in Enphase grid-interactive (grid-tied) as well as multi-mode (grid-forming) installations. In grid-interactive installations, the IQ Meter Collar serves as a consumption metering device, eliminating the need for additional CTs to be field wired. In grid-forming installations, the IQ Meter Collar provides both consumption metering and grid isolation to enable microgrid formation.

Please see Compatibility Matrix under the Documents tab for clarification on your specific system.
