31.3 Installation comment
31.3.1 Fuse protection
Attention!
In the application of meters in the low voltage level the voltage path is direct connected to the
phases. Thereby the only security against a short circuit is the primary fuses of some 120A.
In that case the whole current is running inside the meter or the connection between phase -
phase or phase – neutral, which can cause a lightening or a damage against persons or
buildings.
The recommendation for CT connected meters in the low voltage level is the usage of fuses in
the voltage path with a maximum of 10A.
