Maximum line to ground voltage is 347V. If line to ground voltage exceeds 347V, then potential

transformers must be used. The unit indicates voltage overrange (999.0) if an intentional or

accidental ground causes line to ground voltage in excess of 347V.

Three-phase, Three-wire Grounded B-phase, Open Delta, Direct Connect (347V AC Line-to-line

Maximum)

Maximum line to line voltage 347V. If line to line voltage exceeds 347V, then PTs must be used.

Current Sensing

Use a shorting terminal block, test block, or shorting switch you provide for current transformer

(CT) wiring to permit safely servicing connected equipment such as the power monitor without

de-energizing the power system.

Use 0.21 mm

2

(14 AWG) wiring to connect the power monitor to the shorting block. Use 0.21

mm

2

(14 AWG) or larger wire between the shorting block and the CTs depending on the length

of the circuit. Longer circuits require larger wire so that the burden of the wiring does not

overload the CT and reduce system accuracy.
When wiring a power monitor to existing CTs and metering devices, the current sensing

terminals of the power monitor must be connected in series with the CT secondary and current

sensing terminals of the existing metering devices.
Do not install overcurrent protection or non-shorting disconnecting means in CT secondary

wiring. Connect the current sensing circuit to a low-impedance earth ground at only one point.
Pay particular attention to the correct phasing and polarity of current sensing connections. The

diagrams use the dot convention to indicate transformer polarity. The dot indicates the H1 and

X1 terminals on the primary and secondary of the CT respectively. Phasing of the CTs must

correspond to the phasing of the voltage sensing connections.
The following wiring diagrams indicate typical current sensing connections to various types of

power systems.
