Connecting Phase Measurements

You can connect three-phase measurement configurations and single-phase

measurement configurations to the NI 9246.

You can connect a current source to the NI 9246 for single-phase measurements. For

grounded current sources, connect to the chassis ground.

For three-phase measurements, connect three current sources to the NI 9246.

High-Vibration Applications

Proper strain relief of 5.26 mm

2

 (10 AWG) cable is required to meet the shock and

vibration performance specifications stated in the NI 9246 Datasheet on

manuals

. Strain relieve all cabling as close to the chassis mounting plate as possible

to reduce the stresses exerted on the module. Ensure that you do not directionally

bias the module when applying strain relief.
