Sets options for general properties that identify and characterize the metering equipment. An asterisk beside a property name indicates required data.
Item tag
Identifies the metering equipment. The tag is the name that appears beside the metering
equipment in the Electrical Index. The item tag matches the naming convention for the metering equipment. Select the
ellipsis button 
to open a dialog where you can modify the item tag segments that are editable.
The tag property Comply with Naming Convention determines the behavior of an item tag name. When the property is set to True, the protection masks and segment properties behave according to the settings for
the item naming convention in the Options Manager. When the property is set to False, you can edit the tag name value freely. Whether you set this property to True or False, the software ensures compliance with uniqueness if you set the Is Unique parameter to True in the Item Type Properties option of the Options Manager.
Description
Allows you to type a description of the metering equipment, for information only.
Manufacturer
Allows you to select a manufacturer for the metering equipment. You can define and customize manufacturers in the Data Dictionary Manager.
Model
Allows you to select a metering equipment model. The available models are specific to the manufacturer. You can select a model without selecting a manufacturer. The software then selects the appropriate manufacturer automatically according to the selected model. You can define and customize models in the Data Dictionary Manager.
Type
Displays the type of metering equipment, such as Potential Transformer, Ammeter, or Multimeter. The metering equipment type determines the electrical properties that appear on this dialog. This value is read-only.
Item status
Allows you to select an appropriate status of the equipment indicating whether the item is active or deleted.
Design type
Allows you to select a standard that specifies the construction of the metering equipment. You can define and customize design types in the Data Dictionary Manager.
Mounting
Allows you to select a standard type of mounting as specified by the vendor for the metering equipment. You can define and customize mountings in the Data Dictionary Manager.
Primary rating
Enter the voltage applied on the primary winding. Applies to current transformers and potential transformers only.
Secondary rating
Enter the voltage output on the secondary winding. Applies to current transformers and potential transformers only.
Ratio
The calculated ratio of the primary rating to the secondary rating. Applies to current transformers and potential transformers only.
Connection type
Allows you to specify whether a potential transformer is used to measure voltages between two lines or between one line and ground.
Operating voltage
Select a nominal operating voltage for a voltmeter.
Operating current
Enter a nominal operating current for an ammeter, including units. Note that the software does not validate this value against the minimum and maximum meter ranges.
Minimum meter range
Enter the minimum voltage or current that the meter is designed to measure, including units. Applies to ammeters and voltmeters only.
Maximum meter range
Enter the maximum voltage or current that the meter is designed to measure, including units. Applies to ammeters and voltmeters only.
Notes
Allows you to enter text, for example, if you want to provide additional information about the metering equipment.
