1 GE Energy introduces an enhanced line of meters ..The Encompass Electronic Meter FamilyOne Family of meters for Revenue,Monitoring and Power Energy s Encompass family ofmeters is designed to meet yourmetering needs in a rapidly changingworld where deregulation blurs thelines between Utility, Industrial,Commercial and Substation a world where meters must nowanswer new and vital questions for yourbusiness, Encompass meters movebeyond revenue metering to real timeinstrumentation, true power qualitymonitoring and real cost of servicemeasurements. Encompass metersprovide you: Revenue Accuracy (with DCDetection capability) Installation Verification and TamperDetection Tools Coincident Demand Measures Power Quality Monitoringand Analysis AMR System Integration Options 20 Channel Recording Totalization Options (with 4external inputs) 4-Quadrant Industrial orSubstation Measures Per Phase AC Instrumentation(amps, volts, and frequency)There are three models within theEncompass Electronic Meter Family: kV2c model offers thefunctionality of GE Energy s feature-rich kV2 meter, plus severalenhancements.

2 KV2n model designedspecifically for those seeking anextremely cost effective meter fornetwork Energy rate applications. kV2c+ model offers a robustpower supply option for AMRmodules requiring higher powerrequirements, a low voltage serviceoption (operates on 57 - 120volts), support for GE s RevenueGuard option board enabling meteroperation from any available phasevoltage and additional load profilerecording capability. Whether you re metering the simplestenergy rate or collecting critical qualityof service and load analysis information(on a polyphase or a singlephasecircuit) there s an Encompassmeter configuration tomeet your kV2c and kV2c+ models offer easyand powerful functional upgrades witha unique combination of option boardsand softswitches.

3 The kV2c and thekV2c+ start as bi-directional, coincidentdemand meters with five demandmeasures, real-time pricing, and realtime data monitoring. GE Energy alsooffers an Energy -only version of thekV2c and kV2c+ for customers who donot require demand. On both kV2c andkV2c+ meters , additional functionalityis available as shown below:The kV2c+ model is available for lowvoltage applications (57 120V) and isequipped with a more robust powersupply to accommodate AMR functionality is available onthe kV2c+ as follows: Softswitches add: Time of Use Transformer and line LossCompensation Power Factor, kvar and kVAMeasures Call In During Outage Reporting Recording (4-Channel, 64 kB) Security and Power QualityEvent Log Expanded Recording (20-Channel,192 kB) Advanced Power Quality Measures Per Phase Measurements Fast Voltage Monitor andLog (1 cycle) By Quadrant Measurements Harmonic Analysis/WaveformCapture Instrument Transformer Correction TotalizationOption Boards add.

MeterMate graphicallydisplays changes in voltage, current,frequency, THD, TDD and the harmoniccomponents of current and voltage asthey QualityCompliance MonitoringThe kV2c and the kV2c+ meters havethe advanced power quality tools tomeasure the quality of power meters can also be used tomeasure compliance to Power Qualityagreements or gather data to help setPower Quality Requirements.

5 Thesetools include: Programmable sag and swell monitorthat logs: voltage sag and swellduration down to one cycle,minimum or maximum voltage,coincident current, and date andtime of occurrence. Voltage and Current THD per phase,TDD (Total Demand Distortion),Distortion Power Factor,Displacement Power Factor,Distortion kVA, and Distortion kVAh(all recordable). Harmonic analysis (MeterMate odd and even harmonicmagnitudes and phase angles). Programmable diagnostics forvoltage imbalance, distortion, current imbalance, reversed polarity,high neutral current. These eventsmay be logged, set an alert, andinitiate a call-in. Outage log and call-in duringoutage RecordingOptionsThe R (4-channel) and X (20-channel;192 kB memory) softswitches enablerecording in any kV2c or kV2c+ meter;additional hardware is not required.

6 Themeters will record any of the quantitiesthat it measures including voltage,current, Energy , apparent power, reactivepower, distortion power, power factor,THD, TDD and DPF. You choose themeasurements that you need to kV2c and kV2c+ also add newrecording options. In addition totraditional interval recording, the metersrecord the maximum, minimum, or lastvalue in a recording interval. With the20-channel recorder, you can record theminimum, maximum, and average(using V2h and I2h) voltage and currentper phase and still have room for kWhdelivered and received. InstallationVerification andTamper DetectionToolsGE Energy s Site Genie Monitorprovides a simple, automatic way tocatch errors, tampering and wiringchanges before billing problems Genie also provides the phasorinformation and diagnostics needed tofix the problems it wide range voltage supplycombined with the Fitzall featureenables you to reduce the number ofmeters you stock while covering all ofyour applications.

7 Enhancementsover the kV2 New FeaturesThe kV2c and kV2c+ offer severalfeatures that customers requestedincluding: Calibration pulses can now compensatefor transformer losses Transformer factor (TF) is a displayable item Ability to set a DC immunity alert onDiagnostic 5 Access to self-read data without havingto purchase a recording option Ability to calculate up to five thermaldemand valuesNew ConfigurationIn addition, the product familyincludes an Energy only network meterthat s simple, convenient andaffordable. kV2n meter is optimized for 120/208volt 3-wire network service. Available as a Class 200, 120 volt twoelement meter in either a form 12S or25S configuration For convenience, the meter comescomplete with a simple factory-installedprogram to collect and display energyaccumulation.

8 No programming isrequired; just install the meter and go. kV2n incorporates the popular kV styleLCD with 5 large easy-to-read digitsdisplaying Energy accumulation Includes the familiar disk analog displayand separate annunciators to verify bothpotential circuits are energized Single piece LEXAN cover isfurnished without demand reset andOptocom hardware to further improveits tamper kV2n is a new configurationdeveloped from proven technology andoptimized for network Featureson the kV2c+ The kV2c+ Revenue Guard optionboard powers the meter even when theA phase voltage is lost; any available L-Lor L-N voltage will be used. RevenueGuard Plus softswitch enhancesRevenue Guard; it preserves billingintegrity when a phase voltage is loston a 4 wire wye service by convertingthe 3 element meter to "2 1/2"element operation.

9 So even with a lostphase voltage, Revenue Guard Plusassures accurate revenue metering. The H softswitch (20 channel; 384 KBmemory) enables the recording featurein the kV2c+ meter without addingany additional hardware. Thisrecording option enables additionaldays of storage over the expandedrecording option (X softswitch). Themeter will record any of the quantitiesthat it measures including voltage,current, Energy , apparent power,reactive power, distortion power,power factor, THD, TDD and DPF. Seethe chart below for a comparison ofthese recording options:Cost of ServiceMeasurementsKnowing what it costs both Generationand Distribution Utilities to serve a siteis a key piece of competitiveinformation. With modern loads,measuring Energy and power factorisn t enough.
