CT Sensor Installation
Current Transformers (CTs) are used to measure current at various places of the installation. For example, the Grid
connection point, the solar/wind inverter, or a static battery system.
Installation of a CT to monitor the Grid connection point is required for ECO modes. Other CTs are optional and can
be purchased separately. The number and location of CTs used within an installation will vary according to the
devices installed and the user requirements.
CTs can be wired to any
myenergi
device with CT inputs (e.g.
eddi
,
zappi
or
harvi
). This allows for flexible
installation as a CT can be wired to the nearest device. Ideally the grid CTs should be wired to the
master
device.
Note
: The
harvi
device can be used (wirelessly) if it is not practical to connect any CT to the
eddi
or
zappi
.
SINGLE
PHASE
: A CT clamp must be placed around
the live meter tail as shown above with the arrow
pointing towards the consumer unit
(
Note
: The clamp can be placed on the neutral tail,
however the direction of the arrow shown above will
need to be in reversed)
3-PHASE:
A CT clamp must be placed around
each phase with the arrow pointing towards the
consumer unit
(
Note
: A CT cannot be clipped on to the neutral in
a 3 phase systems)
Once installed the CTs need to be configured. See
CT Config
(page 29) for details of how to configure the CTs.
If using a
single-phase
system, the wired CT sensor (
supplied
) ideally needs to be clipped around the live conductor
leaving the meter tail with the arrow (located on the side of the CT) pointing towards the consumer unit. It is possible
to use the Neutral conductor, however you will need to reverse the direction of the sensor (arrow towards the meter).
