SELECTING THE CT ACCURACY CLASS:
The CT accuracy class should be selected in accordance with the required measurement precision. The
accuracy class of controller is 0.5%. Thus 0.5% class CTs are advised for the best result.
CONNECTING CTs:
Be sure of connecting each CT to the related phase input with the correct polarity. Mixing CTs between
phases will cause faulty power and pf readings.
Many combinations of incorrect CTs connections are possible, so check both order of CTs and their
polarity. Reactive power measurement is affected by incorrect CTs connection in similar way as active
power measurement.
