18、editions of other ANSI C12 standards. To this edition Form 32S was added. Also the text was revised to allow disconnect links to be optional. There were minor changes to some of the figures to make them easier to read. Dimensions and other relevant specifications given in this standard have been coo
19、rdinated with the American National Standard Requirements for Watthour Meters Sockets, ANSI C12.7- 2005. The Secretariat of the Accredited Standards Committee on Electricity Metering, C12, is held by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and the National Institute of Standards and
20、 Technology. At the time the committee approved this standard, the C12 Committee had the following members: Tom Nelson, Chairman Paul Orr, Secretary Organization Represented Name of Representative Georgia Power Co. Larry Barto Itron, Inc. Brent Cain GE Energy Curt Crittenden Florda Power K (common),
21、 Y, and Z shall be used for three-wire contacts. ANSI C12.10-2011 13 5 Requirements Applicable to Bottom-Connected Meters 5.1 Dimensions Dimensions to assure mounting and connecting interchangeability are shown in Figures 14 and 15. 5.2 Hanger A hanging device shall be provided on the back of the ba
22、se. 5.3 Sealing 5.3.1 Meters shall be provided with facilities for sealing as shown in Figures 14 and 15. 5.3.2 The meter cover shall be provided with separate sealing facilities to seal the cover to the base, the demand reset lever, and battery access port (when applicable). 5.3.3 The terminal cove
23、r seal shall seal both the terminal cover and the meter cover. 5.4 Connections 5.4.1 The terminal arrangement and internal connections shall be as indicated in Figures 16 through 18. For external connections, refer to reference (3), The Handbook for Electricity Metering. 5.4.2 When pulse initiator c
24、ontact terminals are provided, they shall be located and may be identified as shown in Figures 17 and 18. K and Z shall be used for two-wire contacts; K (common), Y, and Z shall be used for three-wire contacts. 5.5 Terminal Blocks Terminal blocks shall be of arc-resistant material. 5.6 Terminals 5.6
25、.1 Current Terminals The current terminals shall accommodate the following wire sizes: 1) Self-contained meters: from 14 to 2 AWG, inclusive 2) Transformer-rated meters: from 14 to 4 AWG, inclusive 5.6.2 Voltage Terminals 1) The voltage terminals of single-element meters shall accommodate wire sizes
26、 from 14 to 10 AWG, inclusive. 2) The voltage terminals of multi-element meters shall accommodate wire sizes from 14 to 6 AWG, inclusive. 5.6.2.1 Grounding Terminal Grounding the exposed metal base of the meter shall be possible by one of the following methods: 1) A #10-32 tapped hole shall be provi
27、ded on the front, lower right corner of the base (see Figure 15 for the location). A #10-32 binding or washer head screw shall be provided in the tapped hole. 2) As an option, an untapped 3/16 in. hole entering the base from the right side and intersecting with the tapped hole may be provided. 3) Gr
28、ounding terminal not required for non-conductive bases. ANSI C12.10-2011 14 6 Procedure for Assigning Form Designations The form designation system denotes the circuit arrangement to which the meter is applicable, with due consideration given to the variations in terminal arrangement and wiring. The
29、 purpose is to provide a system of meter nomenclature that will assist in the selection and installation of equivalent meters, independent of the make of the meter and of successive types of the same manufacturer. Each form designation corresponds to an internal connection diagram in this publicatio
30、n and in The Handbook for Electricity Metering, reference 3, and is recorded at the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). The suffix “A“ or “S“ in the form designation refers to bottom-connected or detachable meters, respectively. Though the form designation relates to the wiring and
31、 terminal arrangement, it does not change with current or voltage ratings, the number of voltage disconnects used, or the addition of auxiliariessuch as demand indicators, detents, voltage indicators, pulse sending devicesand the like. Test link(s) can be included or not on any form that shows links
32、 without a change in the form number. When a new variety of meter should be assigned a new form designation, a request for the assignment designation is filed with the Secretary of the Technical Committee of the NEMA Electricity Equipment Section, NEMA Headquarters, 1300 North 17th Street, Suite 184
33、7, Rosslyn, VA 22209. The Secretary of the NEMA Technical Committee shall assign the form designation, and advise the Accredited Standards Committee, C12. Upon counsel of this committee, the assigned new designation shall be considered approved. ANSI C12.10-2011 15 Figure 1 External view of ANSI typ
