Leviton has announced the launch of its first-ever 400 Amp Meter Main Load Center, along with a complementary 300 Amp model.
According to Leviton, the company developed the twin solutions to meet the growing demand for larger electrical service in large-scale residential applications, highly electrified homes, and homes that require future-proof power options.
With this new offering, Leviton, the N.Y.-based company boasts that it continues to provide advanced electrical solutions that cater to the evolving needs of modern homes and installations.
“Leviton is proud to engineer products that are the keystone of a robust electrical infrastructure, and the 300A and 400A load centers allow us to serve even more customers in the residential sector,” says Aaron Ard, vice president of product management, Leviton.
“Whether it’s larger new builds, electrifying appliances and heating and cooling systems, or adding onto existing homes, electrical needs are increasing, and these new offerings are ready to help meet that demand.”

Meter Main Load Center Products Comply with NEC 2020 Standards
As stated by Leviton, these higher-amperage Meter-Combination Load Centers provide increased power and flexibility. Each unit comes with a factory-installed main breaker, available in either 200 Amp or 150 Amp, and features a 12-space distribution section, often used for easy wiring of outdoor circuits.
The panel’s utility compartment includes:
- 320 Class (400A) Meter Socket
- 5th Jaw factory installed
- Lever Bypass
- Ringless Cover
Additionally, the load centers include feed-thru lugs and a secondary main breaker mounting section, allowing contractors to customize the total amperage up to a maximum of 400A. The two main breaker sections are kept separate via an internal barrier, assuring compliance with the latest requirements published in NEC 2020, article 230.71. An increasing number of utilities have approved the latest in the Leviton Load Center line, including MEG.
In addition, the modular design of Leviton’s Load Center products, the company explains, allows homeowners to make their standard load center a smart energy solution by swapping traditional breakers with Leviton’s second Gen Smart Circuit Breakers and installing the Leviton Whole Home Energy Monitor (LWHEM).
Leviton says that electricians can swap one breaker at a time, allowing homeowners to prioritize the circuits they want to monitor. The company adds the second Gen Smart Circuit Breakers and LWHEM introduce a choice of energy management capabilities in the My Leviton App, including remote breaker control (on/off), scheduling, energy consumption and production breakdown by power source (grid/solar), notifications when a breaker trips, and more.
