				  and ratchets are installed to obtain correct registration under all conditions
				  of operation.
(5) For
				  electro-mechanical meters, all electric service of the same type rendered by an
				  electric utility or cooperative under the same rate schedule must be metered
				  with instruments having like characteristics, except that the commission may be
				  requested to approve the use of instruments of different types if their use
				  does not result in unreasonable discrimination. Either all of the reactive
				  meters which may run backwards or none of the reactive meters used for
				  measuring reactive power under 1 schedule must be ratcheted. This rule is only
				  applicable to equipment owned by the electric utility or cooperative.

Michigan Administrative Code › Department - Licensing and Regulatory Affairs › Public Service Commission › Technical Standards for Electric Service › Part 6 - METERING EQUIPMENT INSPECTIONS AND TESTS › Section R. 460.3616 - Average meter error; determination

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 616. If a metering installation is found upon any test
					 to be in error by more than 2% at any test load, the average error shall be
					 determined in 1 of the following ways:
(a) If the metering installation is used to
				  measure a load which has practically constant characteristics, such as a
				  streetlighting load, the meter shall be tested under similar conditions of load
				  and the accuracy of the meter "as found" shall be considered as the average
				  accuracy.
(b) If a single-phase
				  metering installation is used on a varying load, the average error shall be the
				  weighted algebraic average of the error at light load and the error at heavy
				  load, the latter being given a weighting of 4 times the former.
(c) If a polyphase metering installation is
				  used on a varying load, the average error shall be the weighted algebraic
				  average of its error at light load given a weighting of 1, its error at heavy
				  load and 100% power factor given a weighting of 4, and at heavy load and 50%
				  lagging powerfactor given a weighting of 2.
(d) If a load, other than the light, heavy,
				  and low power factor load specified for routine testing, is more representative
				  of the customary use of the metering equipment, its error at that load shall
				  also be determined. In this case, the average error shall be computed by giving
				  the error at such load and power factor a weighting of 3 and each of the errors
				  at the other loads (light, heavy, and 50% lagging power factor) a weighting of
				  1. Each error shall be assigned its proper sign.
