Switchboard Meters
The Easy Upgrade to Electronic Metering
Upgrading an electromechanical or electronic switchboard meter with a kV
Meter is as easy as slipping out your old meter and slipping in a kV meter.
The kV™ switchboard meter is housed in the small GE switchboard case
used by most GE switchboard meters. The electronics and sensors are
cradle mounted so they will slip right into a pre-wired standard case and use
the same test paddle.
Installation Flexibility
With a 120 - 480V voltage range power supply and Fitzall™ operation, one
kV switchboard meter may meet all of your switchboard needs. Optional 57 to
120V operation handles 69V and other lower voltage needs. Using a filler
panel and cables or the large cradle version even let you retrofit large case
meters. Retrofit kits for large cases and for installations with pulse outputs are
covered in GEA12611 kV SWB Retrofit Kits.
Standard kV Meter Features
Revenue grade, DC immune measurements of real power(kW and kWh),
reactive power(kvar and kvarh) and Apparent Power(kVA and kVAh).
Site Genie™ installation verification and real time power quality monitoring.
Site events can be logged in the event logger or the modem can
automatically call in to report any Site Diagnostics, Cautions, or Errors. With
the “Call-in-During” Outage option the kV meter will report an outage as soon
as it occurs even if power is lost to the meter.
Up to four Standard kV Option Boards per Meter - add the ”Revenue
Guard” board(phase A voltage loss protection), a 2 Channel Load Profile
recording board with self reading storage, an I/O board(2 KYZ pulse outputs,
Load Control, and “Real-Time-Pricing” input), and a modem or RS-232 board.
Softswitches add a 200 event power quality log (E), TOU metering (T), Call
in during outage modem operation(C) and reactive or kVA measurements (K).
Flexible real time communications - the kV internal modem can share one
phone line with up to 5 other kV Modems without any external hardware. It is
also voice user friendly so it can share a voice line with other users.
MeterMate reading and programming software with “Real Data” provides realtime remote observation of site conditions including phasor diagrams, per
phase voltage, per phase current, demand, power factor and distortion.

¬ No Revenue Guard on 1Φ Meters - When a 480/277 Volt Y Service is metered with VTs, the usual VT ratio is either 2.4, or 2.5:1 and the meter is rated for 120 Volts. If a
4:1 VT is connected line-to-neutral for this application, a 57 - 120 Volt meter must be specified. ® 36-Z meters have two voltage sensing circuits connected line-to-neutral and
three current sensing circuits. Three CTs are required. ¯ kV Demand Meter with no option boards or soft switches ° kV Reactive Demand Meter with KYZ, Load Profile
Recording, Telephone Modem, and Revenue Guard Option boards and E(event log), T(Time-of-Use), and K(reactive and kVA measurements) soft switches.
