PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed action:
The Public Service Commission is considering whether to approve, reject or modify, in whole or in part, an application by Schneider Electric for the approval of the current/voltage transformer reclassification and calibration system. The utilization of this device will allow for the performance reclassification of instrument current and voltage transformers without removing them from service.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, section 67(9)
Subject:
Approve new types of electricity meters, transformers, and auxiliary devices - Case 279.
Purpose:
To permit electric utilities in New York State to use the Schneider Electric units for the reclassification of instruments and voltage transformers that are used for revenue metering purposes.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission will consider a request from Schneider Electric for the approval to use the Current/Voltage Transformer Reclassification and Calibration System device to reclassify instrument current and voltage transformers in New York State. The instrument transformer device can provide different functions and is known as Current Transformer Verification (CTV), Current Transformer Reclassification (CTR), Voltage/Potential Transformer Verification (VT/PT V) and Voltage/Potential Transformer Reclassification (VT/PT R). According to Schneider Electric, these devices allow for reclassification of existing transformers used in revenue metering applications, and have been accepted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers — IEEE.
In accordance with 16 NYCRR Part 93, National Grid New York has submitted a letter of intent to use the Schneider Electric transformer reclassification line in its industrial customer billing and metering applications, if approved.
