Has anyone encountered this unlabeled meter socket before, fed with 30 copper underground and supplying a 100 amp panel, and knows if it’s rated for 200 amps for a panel upgrade?

Has anyone come across this meter socket before? There’s no labeling on the inside. It’s getting power from 3/0 copper through a 2″ underground line. Then it connects to a 100 amp push Matic panel with 3/0 copper too. I was hoping the meter socket was rated for 200 amps so I could just swap out the panel. Does anyone have any information on these meters?
That size will only have a rating of 100A
Is the meter a class 100 or class 200?
My previous residence had a meter socket with a similar style. It was designed for a maximum of 100 amps
It’s specifically designed for 100 amps
You should make sure there’s a label inside.
Hey Creel, you’re gonna need to shut off the mains in the push Matic panel and remove the meter. You just have to drill the ring. Planning to do it on Saturday since they work from home. The guy at the supply house mentioned they used to ink stamp info on the side of those, but it would always wear off. uess we’ll see.
With our meters you can take off the face panel without removing the meter. But you need to remove the ring, not the meter.
I bet , the utility could send someone to check the meter and amperage.
