4.0 Meter Installation (Continued)
4.3 Current Sensor Installation & Wiring
Once the AC voltages have been confi rmed to be within acceptable limits, you
are ready to install the current sensors. The MAIN power board contains either a
10-position terminal block (TB1) (standard confi guration) or three header connec-
tors located at the bottom center of the board, TB2, TB3 and TB4 (MI confi gura-
tion). If supplied with the TB1 terminal block, the current sensors are connected
to the 6 positions on the right side. Both styles are marked with the appropriate
phase designation and conductor color. This format must be followed in order for
the meter to function correctly. (Phase C is not used)
The Class 1000 meter will be used with one of two basic types of current
sensors:
a. Split-Core Current Sensor: This sensor opens so that it can be
attached around the circuit conductor being monitored without
interrupting power. Unless otherwise specifi ed, all Class 1000
meters are supplied with this sensor type.
b. Solid-Core Current Sensor: This sensor does not open and requires
the monitored conductor be removed from the circuit to install the
current sensor. This type is only supplied when specifi ed at time of
order.
NOTE: The unit serial label specifi es if the unit is set up for split or solid core
current sensors.
Both types of current sensors output a 0-2 VAC signal proportional to the current
being measured.
