4.6 Current Sensor Wiring

Once all the current sensors are installed on their appropriate phase conductors, you 

can begin terminating the current sensors on to the Class 1000 main power board. 

The current sensor leads can be extended up to 2,000 feet (using #14-22 AWG wire) 

for remote monitoring applications. Consult your local electrical codes for proper wire 

sizing (#22 AWG twisted pair wire with a black and white conductor, rated for 600 VAC 

recommended.) 

The current sensor connection points are located on the bottom right of the main 

power board. Three removable plugs exist, one for each current sensor phase input. 

The header portions of the connectors are labeled A, B, and C. Text on the plastic 

cover of each of the connectors instruct you which terminal of the plug is for the white 

conductor and which terminal is wired to the black conductor. Once each current 

sensor is wired to its respective plug, insert each plug into the appropriate header. 

Input C is not used with the Class 1000 meter.
