Product Overview
The GE IC660BPM100 is a Power Monitoring Block (PMB) in the GE Genius I/O series, designed to measure RMS values of current, voltage, power, VARs, power factor, and watt-hours, even with distorted waveforms. It also measures line frequency and captures overcurrent waveforms above a configurable threshold. This module supports both 4-wire and 3-wire systems and can operate standalone or on a Genius I/O bus up to 7500 feet from the host.

Compatibility & Selection Guide
The IC660BPM100 is compatible with GE Series 90-30, Series 90-70, and PACSystem RX3i controllers supporting Genius Bus Protocol. It accepts up to three line current transformers, one neutral current transformer, and three potential transformers. The block is software configurable and supports CPU redundancy configurations. When selecting this module, ensure adequate clearance for wiring and airflow, and verify input voltage matches 115/230 VAC or 125 VDC.
Installation & Maintenance
Install the GE IC660BPM100 in electrical distribution or process equipment with proper clearance for wiring and airflow. The electronics assembly can be removed or inserted without disturbing field wiring or configuration. No CT shorting clips are required. The block provides LED indicators for Unit OK and Communications OK, simplifying diagnostics. For maintenance, ensure operating temperature remains within 0 to +60°C and storage within -40 to 212°F.
