A)  Make sure that the main load center wires are de-energized until you 

have secured the CT wires in the terminal blocks.

B)  Before running the CT wires through the conduit, use colored tape to 

mark one of the CTs and the free end of its wires.

C)  For the marked CT wires, connect the white wire to “IA•” and the blue 

wire to “IA”.

D)  For the unmarked CT wires, connect the white wire to “IB•” and the blue 

wire to “IB”.

E)  Tighten all connections to 5 in-lbs.
F)  Clamp the marked CT on the load center feed wire Line 1 (matching 

the Envoy’s “A” voltage terminal) 

with the CT arrow pointing toward the 

load (away from the grid).

G)  Clamp the unmarked CT on the load center feed wire Line 2 (matching 

the Envoy’s “B” voltage terminal) with the CT arrow pointing toward the 
load (away from the grid).

      Install CTs for Consumption Metering (optional)

The Envoy-S inside the AC Combiner Box is pre-wired at the terminal blocks for power and production metering connections. One solid-core current transformer 
(CT) is provided for revenue grade production metering. You can install two optional split-core CTs to provide consumption metering. To do this, you must create 
a protected route using conduit for the CT wires from the main load center to the Envoy-S. If you need to extend the wires, refer to the 

Enphase Envoy-S Installation 

and Operation Manual

enphase.com/support.

7

Note

Because of variance in load center design and main power feed, there may not always be enough space to install consumption metering CTs.

DANGER! 

Risk of electrocution! Do not install CTs when cur-

rent is flowing in the sensed circuit. Always install CT wires 

in the terminal blocks before energizing the sensed circuit.

DANGER!  

Risk of electric shock. Always de-energize the load center 

before beginning wiring.

Notes

It is important to match CT and sense voltage phases. To properly 

measure power and energy, CT inputs must align with the respective 

voltage inputs. Be sure to consistently identify and match the two AC 

lines at two points: the main load center feed and the Envoy. Wire colors 

(typically black and red) may not always consistently identify Lines 1 and 

2. If in doubt, use a multimeter to check.
