REAKERS
With the circuits described in
Section 3.3.1.1 - Hardware Connections
, use the 6530 remote voltage
sense by measuring the voltage at the load. This increases measurement accuracy by eliminating
line voltage drop from the power measurement. For safety, an overload circuit breaker removes all
load voltage during an over-current condition. The voltage sense lines are connected at the line side
of the circuit breaker to help prevent inductive transients from entering the 6530 as the circuit
breaker opens. Make sure that connections from the circuit breaker to the load are heavy conductors
and short as possible.
