Considerations When Installing Meters
Installation of the meter must be performed by qualified personnel only, who
follow standard safety precautions through the installation procedures. Those
personnel should have appropriate training and experience with high voltage
devices. Appropriate safety gloves, safety glasses and protective clothing are
recommended.
During normal operation, dangerous voltage may flow through many parts of
the meter, including: terminals, any connected CTs (Current Transformers) and PTs
(Potential Transformers), all I/O (Inputs and Outputs) modules and their circuits. All
primary and secondary circuits can, at times, produce lethal voltages and currents.
AVOID contact with any current-carrying surfaces.
The meter and its I/O output channels are NOT designed as primary protection
devices and shall NOT be used for primary circuit protection or in an energy-limiting
capacity. The meter and its I/O output channels can only be used as secondary
protection. AVOID using the meter under situations where failure of the meter may
cause injury or death. AVOID using the meter for any application where risk of fire
may occur.
All meter terminals should be inaccessible after installation.
Do NOT perform Dielectric (HIPOT) test to any inputs, outputs or communication
terminals. High voltage testing may damage electronic components of the meter.
Applying more than the maximum voltage the meter and/or its modules can
withstand will permanently damage the meter and/or its modules. Please refer to
the specifications for all devices before applying voltages.
