5.2.1 Measure
The measure menu contains the parameters for setting up the voltage and current measurement options.

Measure Menu
Wiring
: This is the type of circuit being measured. The circuit type determines what measurement
parameters are available and how the analyzer will calculate the system measurement values.
Wiring options:
•
3
Φ
3-wire – three-phase three-wire circuits
•
3
Φ
4-wire – three phase four wire circuits Factory default setting
•
3PT-2CT – 2 wattmeter method
•
1
Φ
– single-phase circuits
•
1
Φ
Split – split-phase circuits
To change the wiring type:
1) Use the up

and down
[

arrow buttons to highlight
WIRING
and press the enter
[ENTER]
button. This brings up a selection box with the existing wiring selection highlighted.
2) Use the up

enter
[ENTER]
button to select an option.
3) To return to the measure menu without selecting an option, press the escape
[ESC]
button.
PT/CT
: These are the ratios for the voltage and current measurements. Setting the PT ratio allows the
user to hook the analyzer up to a voltage transformer, stepping down the voltage coming in without
changing the actual voltage on the display or in the memory of the analyzer. The auto-detect clamp
feature of the Model 806 analyzer CT automatically sets the CT ratios of the analyzer. If the user is
manually setting these ratios, they will only be prompted for a primary value. All of the power clamp
adapters supplied by IDEAL for the 800 series analyzers have a 2V output. The secondary ratio of the
CT is assumed to be 2V.
