transformer ratio to get readings that refer to the primary of the

potential transformers.

Tip

 

If using a 320:1 ratio potential transformer,

multiply the readings by 320.

Connection Guidelines

• You must use 2-wire ferrules to create a secure connection

when connecting more than one wire to a single terminal on

the NI 9242.

• Make sure that devices you connect to the NI 9242 are

compatible with the module specifications.

To ensure that measurements to chassis ground are correct, NI

recommends connecting the chassis to earth ground using the

chassis grounding screw. Refer to your chassis manual for

information about connecting the chassis to earth ground.
