7.2. USING OF METER IN A THREE PHASE 4 WIRE SYSTEM

CAUTION

 The maximum voltage among B1, B2, B3, B4 and BE inputs is 1000V /

CAT IV 600V to ground. Do not measure voltages exceeding the limits
prescribed by this manual. Should you exceed the voltage limits you
could damage the instrument and/or its components or endanger your
safety.

 If possible, before connecting the meter to the electrical equipment under

test turn the power supply off.

Fig. 186: Meter connection in a three phase 4-wire system

1. Check and modify the basic settings of meter if necessary (see § 5.3.1). Set 4WIRE

system option.

2. Connect voltage test leads on Phases L1, L2, L3, Neutral and Ground cables considering

the colours as shown in Fig. 186. Verify the result “123 at display relative to a correct
phase sequence indication
(see § 5.2.1) and perform the corrections if necessary.

3. Connect the transducer current clamps on Phase L1, L2, L3 and Neutral N cables as

shown in Fig. 186 respecting the clamp’s arrow direction indicating the current standard
sequence from generator to load. On Real Time Values’ section screens always verify
the positive value of Active Power and the power factor relative to each load which
should be normally inductive
before starting a recording. Reverse the clamp by 180
degrees on cables in case of negative readings.

4. Supply the electrical installation under test in case it was temporarily put out of service

for meter connection. The values of parameters are shown by meter at display in Real
Time Values’ section (see § 5.2).

5. Press SAVE key if a instantaneous sample of display values (Instant) should be saved

(see § 5.5). Use HOLD function to stop the values at display if necessary.

6. Check all settings before start a recording (see § 5.4). Press GO/STOP key to enable

and disable a recording on meter (see § 5.4.10).
