Example: 10/ 3W, 30/ 3W, 2 Elements) 

 

 

 

Model 

PC5-062D 

 

Voltage 

240 VAC 

 

Current  

100 A AC 

 

Rated Output 

10 V @ 40 kW 

 

External Sensor Required

     240 V, 100 A FS @ 20 kW or 240 V, 10 A FS @ 2 kW 

 

Accuracy 

± 0.50% FS 

 
Refer  to  Figure  10A  or  10  B  on  page  17 

Calibration  Test  Set-Ups,  make  the 

necessary 

connections 

between 

the 

calibration and Figure 8B on page 15. 

 

Please note if the AC current source will not 

supply the 100 amperes, ampere-turns may 

be used.  For instance 10 turns through the 

window of each current sensor will produce 

a  100-ampere  current  signal  when  10 

amperes are applied. 

 

Energize the voltage and apply the neces- 

sary  current  to  obtain  either  20  kW  or  the 
2kW reading if 10 ampere turns are used in 
the Standard Wattmeter. 
 
Adjust the "CAL" trimpot, (located on the 
PC5-062D) for a 10 V ± 0.50% FS.  Like-
wise, hold the current at 100 amperes and 
change the voltage such that the power 
reading goes from 0 to 20 kW.  Next, with 
the voltage potential at 240 VAC and current 
adjusted for a 20 kW reading, change the 
voltage linearity should be within ± 0.50% 
FS.
