- CONNECTION OF THE INSTRUMENT
2.1 -
POWER SUPPLY
The power supply connections terminals are located on the rear side and are clearly indicated with the label POWER
SUPPLY. Use cables having a maximum section of 2.5 mm
2
. Earth connection is not required. Follow the connection
diagram at the beginning of the manual.
2.2 -
CONNECTING VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT CABLES
These cables, having a maximum section of 4 mm
2
, are to be connected to the terminals labelled VOLTAGE INPUT as
indicated in the diagrams at the beginning of the manual.
2.3 -
CONNECTING CURRENT MEASUREMENT CABLE
The instrument is able to measure up to 5A only through external C.T. The cables having maximum section of 4 mm
2
must
be connected to the terminals labelled CURRENT INPUT as shown in the diagrams at beging of the manual.
Use CT's with 5A secondary. Use cables having a section appropriate to the length of the connection and the rated power
of the CT's used.
Note 1: For safety reasons, never leave the CT secondary open.
Note 2:
Important
direct connections, without C.T. will damage the inputs.
