Carl,
You won't find the lugs being any different than the models that aren't
listed for small wire, but using a meter base listed for the right wire
is best.
The Murray/Siemens 135-amp meter bases are listed for 14 AWG to 2/0

Wrenches,
We often use a conventional 100A meter base and analog meter as an
independent metering system for inverter output. These meters
typically have a minimum conductor size of #6 AWG. For smaller
systems the inverter output conductors are smaller than #6 AWG. We
have upsized the conductors to match the meter base requirement, but
this adds expense. I am looking for other suggestions for resolving
this.
