Selection Guidelines

  • When to choose: Applications requiring comprehensive power monitoring, power quality analysis, and breaker/contactor control.

  • Voltage Monitoring: Connect voltage sensors (PTs) to voltage inputs.

  • Current Monitoring: Connect current sensors (CTs) to current inputs.

  • Power Quality Analysis: Configure harmonic analysis parameters in Toolbox ST.

  • Control Outputs: Use for breaker trip/close or contactor control.

  • DNP3 Configuration: Configure for substation communication.

  • Compatibility: Fits all Mark VIe VME64x racks. Requires ControlST v6.5 or higher.

Operational Precautions

  1. Wiring: Follow GE wiring diagrams—correct polarity for voltage, current, and control connections.

  2. Voltage/Current Inputs: Verify PT/CT ratios and scaling during commissioning.

  3. Power Quality Testing: Verify harmonic analysis and THD readings.

  4. Breaker Control Testing: Test trip/close outputs during commissioning.

  5. LED Diagnostics: Green = normal; Amber = fault; Red = module fault.

  6. Fault Log: Access 500-event log via Toolbox ST—review power quality snapshots.

  7. Hot-Swap: Remove/insert slowly under power.

  8. Spare Stock: Maintain 1 spare per 3–4 racks.

  9. Firmware Updates: Ensure the GE IS215PCMIH1A is in “standby” mode.

  10. ESD: Handle by edges with grounded wrist strap.
