This series of meters was the first fully electronic line of meters made by GE. Unlike present electronic meters with
wide-ranging power supplies, the ES were built to specific supply voltages (120V, 240V, etc.). These meters were built to fit
existing DS-60 series meter installations just by sliding out the old cradle and installing the new.
The ES meters also came in several styles which corresponded with the electronic registers that were available for
installation to GE mechanical meters (M-90, M-90A, T-9x), and each register had the old register model with a "E" suffix
(M-90 -> M-90E etc.). The numbering from the DS-60 series carried over to the ES meters (DS-63 became ES-3 etc.), and the
single-phase style was simply numbered ES-1.
