Multipart coupler for retrofit of microgrid interconnection device (mid)

A multipart coupler for use in installing a retrofit MID into a meter breaker having a meter breaker housing, the multipart coupler comprising:

• three component couplers, the three component couplers including:
• a main L1 coupler structured to be coupled to a main L1 terminal on a grid side of the meter breaker;
• a main L2 coupler structured to be coupled to a main L2 terminal on a grid side of the meter breaker;
• and
• a load L1/L2 coupler structured to be coupled to a load side L1 terminal and a load side L2 terminal on a load side of the meter breaker;
• and
• an alignment template, the alignment template structured to be simultaneously coupled to the three component couplers,
• wherein the main L1 coupler is structured to form a grid side L1 thermal conduction path from a joint formed at the main L1 terminal to the meter breaker housing,
• wherein the main L2 coupler is structured to form a grid side L2 thermal conduction path from a joint formed at the main L2 terminal to the meter breaker housing, and
• wherein the load L1/L2 coupler is structured to form a load side L1 thermal conduction path and a load side L2 thermal conduction path, the load side L1 thermal conduction path extending from a joint formed at the load side L1 terminal to the meter breaker housing, and the load side L2 thermal conduction path being from a joint formed at the load side L2 terminal to the meter breaker housing.
