FAQ Answer
An individual’s magnetic field exposure varies throughout the day and depends on multiple factors including field levels in the home, vehicle, and workplace, as well as appliance use. Researchers from the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) surveyed 992 American homes in 1993 and found an all-room average magnetic field of 0.9 mG, though background field levels in some rooms exceeded 16 mG.
A follow-up EPRI study in 1998 characterized the 24-hour, personal magnetic field exposures of over 1000 people. An average 24-hour personal exposure of 1.25 mG was reported, with a small number of people having average exposures over 10 mG.
Your connected network devices can communicate with each other and share information over the internet, Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, and ZigBee. Your network can also enable the SCE smart meter to communicate with registered ZigBee Smart Energy Profile 1.0/1.1 devices to deliver energy usage information in near-real-time.
There are several types of devices on the market today. These include energy information displays, USB dongles, gateways, smart thermostats, and smart appliances. To successfully connect with the SCE smart meter, your device must support ZigBee communications and be Smart Energy Profile 1.0 or 1.1 certified.
Yes, we’ve developed a Home and Business Area Network Testing Laboratory to thoroughly evaluate products and devices for compatibility with the SCE smart meter. View compatible devices.
