5.9 Install Current Transducer
A current transducer (CT) is required per string to measure string current. Install the current transducer anywhere on
the primary string conductor and plug the current transducer cable into the Current connector of the PowerShield Hub.
NOTE: Ensure the current transducer selected has the appropriate rating for the expected string charge and
discharge currents. The nominal rating of the current transducer should be similar to the typical maximum
expected current flow. The current transducer has a measurement range of ±150% of the nominal rating.
IMPORTANT: The direction of the current transducer is important. The transducer has an arrow on it to show the
direction of current flow.
• If the current transducer is installed with its arrow pointing in the direction that current flows during a
discharge event, the current transducer direction is considered to be Standard.
• If the current transducer is installed with its arrow pointing in the direction that current flows during a charge
event, the current transducer direction is considered to be Reversed.
