With the power off, disconnect the conductor from its breaker or terminal. Slide the

solid-core current sensor over the conductor, making sure that the indicator on the

sensor is pointing in the direction of the load. After this is done, reconnect the

conductor and verify that it is properly installed.

Run the black and white wires from the solid-core current sensors and install them

according to the standard installation diagram. When this is completed, the power to

the monitored conductor can be turned back on.

4.3.3 Current Sensor Wiring

Once all the current sensors are installed on their appropriate phase conductors, you

can begin terminating the current sensors on to the Green Class main power board.

The current sensor leads can be extended up to 2,000 feet (using #14-22 AWG wire)

for remote monitoring applications. Consult your local electrical codes for proper wire

sizing (#22 AWG twisted pair wire with a black and white conductor, rated for 600 VAC

recommended.)

The current sensor connection points are located on the bottom right of the main

power board. Three removable plugs exist, one for each current sensor phase input.

The header portions of the connectors are labeled A, B and C. Text on the plastic cover

of each of the connectors instruct you which terminal of the plug is for the white

conductor and which terminal is wired to the black conductor. Once each current

sensor is wired to its respective plug, insert each plug into the appropriate header.
