Hello:

I am looking for some safety standards for watt-hour meters.  I called UL, and 
they do not have any standards pertaining to this, nor do they list watt-hour 
meters.  They suggested ANSI C12.10.  This applies to mechanical watt-hour 
meters.  My questions are:

1)  I want to make sure that ANSI 12.10 covers safety requirements for 
watt-hour meters.

2)  The watt-hour meter in question is not mechanical, so what (safety) 
standard would apply?

3)  Our watt-hour meter would have an antenna on it to transmit billing 
information to the utility.  What degree of isolation (from 120V, 240V, or 
480V) would be required to the antenna, as it is accessible to Joe blow?  Would 
(safety) standards other than those for watt-hour meters apply as there is an 
antenna on this equipment?

Thank you for your help!
