Fused watthour meter bypass storage adapter

A watthour meter bypass storage adapter mountable in jaw contacts in a watthour meter socket for connecting a watthour meter mountable in the adapter to at least certain of line and load conductors connected to the jaw contacts in the watthour meter socket, the adapter comprising:

• a housing including a base and a watthour meter receiving portion;
• a first pair of aperture formed in the base at standard line terminal mounting positions;
• a second pair of apertures formed in the base at standard load terminal mounting positions;
• a pair of load blade terminals extendable through the second pair of apertures in the base;
• at least one line terminal mounted in one aperture of the first pair of apertures in the base and having a blade terminal end extending through the one aperture;
• at least one fuse having opposite ends;
• first fuse connector means, disposed in the housing, for connecting one end of the at least one fuse to the at least one line terminal, the first fuse connector means including a pair of first electrically conductive members, each having a blade terminal end and a fuse mounting surface angularly disposed from the blade terminal end, the blade terminal ends of the pair of first members extending through the first pair of apertures in the base;
• second fuse connector means, disposed in the housing and having a portion attachable to each of the load blade terminals for mounting one end of the at least one fuse to at least one of the pair of load blade terminals, the second fuse connector means including a pair of second electrically conductive members, each having first and second angularly disposed legs, the first leg attachable to one of the load blade terminals, the second leg forming a fuse mounting surface;
• and
• wherein the at least one fuse is mountable in one of a plurality of selectible positions in the first and second fuse connector means including a first position between the at least one line terminal to one load blade terminal, and a second position between the two load blade terminals.
