4.6 Verifying Correct Wiring (Connection Check)
66
Correct attachment to the lines is necessary for accurate measurements.
Check the measured values and vectors on the [SYSTEM] - [Wiring] screen to verify that the con-
nections have been made properly. Refer to the measured values and vector displays to verify
that the measurement cables are correctly attached.

For 1P2W systems For systems other than 1P2W
• Verify that an appro-
priate measurement
value is displayed.
• Verify that the vec-
tors are displayed
with the appropriate
range.
In this case Check
• Are the cables securely plugged into the voltage measurement jacks on
the instrument? (p.47)
• Are the voltage measurement cable clips properly attached to the lines?
(p.63)
• Has the appropriate Urms type (phase voltage/line voltage) been
selected? (p.75)
• Are the current sensors securely plugged into the current measurement
jacks on the instrument? (p.48)
• Are the current sensors properly attached to the lines? (p.64)
• Are the current sensors appropriate for the line current to be measured?
• Have the sensor’s range settings been configured appropriately?
• Are the current sensors properly attached to the lines? (p.63)
• Is the arrow marker on the current sensors pointing toward the load?
(p.64)
• During 3P3W2M measurement, the active power of each channel can
become negative in some cases, for example, if a circuit under measure-
ment has a power factor of 0.5 or less.
Voltage vectors:
• Are the cables securely plugged into voltage measurement jacks on the
instrument? (p.47)
• Are the voltage measurement cable clips properly attached to the lines?
(p.63)
Current vectors:
• Are the current sensors securely plugged into the current measurement
jacks on the instrument? (p.48)
• Are the current sensors properly attached to the lines? (p.64)
• Are the current sensors appropriate for the line current to be measured?
• Is the sensor range set correctly?
A measured value is too high or
too low compared to the set
[Udin] .
If the measured current value is
not correct.
If the measured active power value
is negative.
If vectors are too short, or unequal.
