(FortisBC or the Company) Application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure Project Response to British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC or the Commission) Information Request (IR) No. 1 Submission Date: October 5, 2012 Page 89 All meters are tested to and comply with relevant standards. With respect to over-voltage withstand capabilities, the relevant standards are: • ANSI/NEMA C12.1-2008 (“American National Standard for Electric Meters – Code for Electricity Metering”); • IEEE/ANSI C62.41.2-2002 (“IEEE Recommended Practice on Characterization of Surges in Low-Voltage (1000 V and Less) AC Power Circuits”; • IEEE/ANSI C62.45 – 1992 (“IEEE Guide on Surge Testing for Equipment Connected to Low-Voltage AC Power Circuits”); and • IEC 61000-4-4 – (“Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 4-4: Testing and measurement techniques - Electrical fast transient/burst immunity test”). These tests are used to confirm that the meters have adequate insulation to protect the public and workers from contacting any energized parts and that the meter internals are able to withstand transient overvoltage events. Further, if a meter experiences an over-voltage situation, an appropriate event notification will be sent over the network to the HES. In the case of extreme-over voltage, self-protection devices within the meter will operate to disconnect the internal power supply and voltage sensing inputs. FortisBC will become aware that a problem has occurred as the meter will stop communicating. The device would then be non-functional until FortisBC crews are dispatched to replace the meter with a new unit. Refer also to the response to BCUC IR1 Q47.4.1. Response: 47.4.1 Provide the AMI meter’s withstand (surge) voltage. There is no single withstand (surge) voltage rating for the meter since the severity of overvoltage events is a factor of both the magnitude and duration of the overvoltage. The meter vendor has provided information that the product is designed to accept twice the normal line voltage indefinitely (i.e. 480 volts for the single-phase meter); this ensures that the device is unaffected by most overvoltage events. A metal-oxide varistor (MOV) surge protector is used to protect the meter hardware (power supply and voltage sensing inputs) from transient over-voltage surges. In the event of a long-duration, extreme over-voltage situation, a currentlimiting resistor is installed prior to the surge arrestor to minimize the energy dissipated during these overvoltage events (when these events are in excess of twice line voltage). In this last scenario, a fuse internal to the device will open in order to protect the meter internals from the
