Could you describe how it is "improperly done"? [I'm not challenging

If a meter blade on the line side makes contact with the meter enclosure
while the meter blades on the utility side are still in contact with the
terminals an Arc blast will occur. The highest risk of this occurring
is in outdated T based meters and in ring type meter mounts.
