Appendix 1: Selecting Accessories
Current Transformer:
Should input current exceed rated current tolerated by the meter
specications, the power meter needs to be used together with a current
transformer (CT). Users can select a suitable CT according to the table
below.

Notes on selecting a current transformer
1. For the current transformer, the model with a closer maximal current on the primary side should be
selected according to the maximal current actually input.
For example: When the maximal current input is 700 A, DCT-S261C can be selected.
2. Wire over-length on the secondary side of the current transformer causes decrease in accuracy.
