Install and Connect CTs

Do not apply power until you have made these connections and followed all of the

instructions below:

• Connect all CTs to the appropriate circuits.

• Connect the CTs to the to the CT connection cable or directly to the CT / Pulse Wiring

Module.

• Use 18-22 AWG, 600V Insulated Butt Connectors for all CT wire to wire connections.

When installing current transformers of any type, follow these steps:

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

• Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside the

equipment.

• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm the power is off.

• NEVER open circuit a CT; Connecting CTs to a Triacta GATEWAY CT / Pulse

Wiring Module will ensure that the CT wire pairs are always either shorted or

terminated by the Meter Head.

• Do not crimp the insulation when making the wire connections.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

i. Turn off the power feed to the panel where the CTs are being installed. Always use a

properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.

ii. Place the CTs on the desired circuit conductor wires

When installing solid-core CTs

i. Remove the feed wire from the circuit breaker,

ii. Place the CT over the wire, and

reconnect the wire

to the circuit breaker.

iii. Ensure that the orientation of the CT is correct with respect to the direction

of the current flow as indicated on the CT.

When installing split-core or Rogowski Coil CTs,

i. Open the CT and place the CT over the wire to the circuit breaker.

ii. Ensure that the orientation of the CT is correct with respect to the direction

of the current flow as indicated on the CT.

iii. Close the CT and Install cable ties if necessary to ensure that the CT is

held together securely.

iii. When connecting CTs to a CT cable,

i. Feed the CT cable from the Triacta GATEWAY meter into the panel through the

appropriate punch-outs with approved strain reliefs.
