4.5.4 Multiple-Load Monitoring
The Din-Mon™ kWh meter provides extreme flexibility by allowing additional sets of
current sensors to be used in parallel so multiple load locations can be monitored by
one meter. This feature allows totalized display readout from two or more load circuits.
NOTE: Paralleling of current sensors applies only to those designed for 0.333V
output (“V3”); 100mA output (“C1”) sensors must not be paralleled.
When paralleling current sensors, the following rules must be followed:
1. Current sensors must be installed in complete sets of three (or two with single
phase installations), with a maximum of three sensors installed in parallel per
phase.
2. All sensors used in parallel must be of the same type and amperage. rating. The
rating is determined by the current rating of the meter. For example, a 200-Amp
meter must use extra sets of 200-Amp sensors.
3. All locations being monitored must have the same power source. A 480 Volt
meter cannot monitor a 208 Volt load, nor can a meter monitor two 480 Volt
loads if they are from different originating power sources or from different trans-
formers.
4. Multiply the meter display readings by the number of sets of current sensors
installed. Example: Meter readings of 5 kWh with 2 sets of current sensors, the
actual usage is 10 kWh. (5 x 2=10).
