ii. Strip the plastic sheaths on the cable to an appropriate length to expose the wire
pairs. Cut and strip the CT leads and wire pair leads to an appropriate length.
iii. Identify the proper circuit and phase of each CT and crimp the CT leads to the
correct X1 and X2 wire pairs in the CT cable for each meter element. (see Table 3 )
iv. Connect the CT cable to the CT / Pulse Wiring Module and secure it in place with
the retaining screws.
iv. When connecting CTs to a CT / Pulse Wiring Module
i. For each CT, feed two wires with the appropriate wire gauge and length from the CT
/ Pulse Wiring Module to the CT in the panel through the appropriate punch-outs
with approved strain reliefs. Ensure that each pair of wires is made up of two
different colours and that each pair of wires is clearly and uniquely identified at
each end (electrical panel and CT / Pulse Wiring Module).
ii. Cut and strip the CT leads and wire pair leads to an appropriate length to
expose the wire for crimping.
iii. Crimp the X1/X2 CT leads from each CT to one of the wire pairs.
iv. Strip the plastic sheaths on the CT / Pulse Wiring Module end of each wire to an
appropriate length to expose the wire.
v. Identify the proper circuit and phase of each CT connected to each wire pair
and insert the correct pair of wires into the X1 X2 (+/-) inputs of the correct
connection point in the CT / Pulse Wiring Module (CT1 –CT24) (see table 3)
Table 2: CT wiring distances and wire gauges
Maximum
Wiring
Distance / Minimum Wire gauge
10 ft (3 m) / 18 AWG (from 5A CT to converter)
300 ft (100 m) / 22 AWG (from converter to meter)
v. When installing 5 Amp output CTs
Where 5A output CTs are required, they can be connected to a Triacta GATEWAY
80mA CT CT / Pulse Wiring Module using Triacta 5A:80mA CT converters.
i. Install or use an existing sealable metal enclosure outside of the electrical panel
within 10 feet of the 5A CTs.
ii. Mount a shorting device and one 5A:80mA CT convertor per 5A CT in the
enclosure. All 5A CTs should have a shorting device installed between the 5A CT
and the 5A:80mA CT convertor.
iii. Connect the X1 and X2 leads of the 5A CT to a shorting device with the shorting
engaged.
iv. Connect the X1 (red) and X2 (black) leads from the 5A side of the converter to the
other side of shorting device. Ensure that the connections from X1 and X2 leads
