Part 6: Connecting the current clamp
i
Clamp the current sensor onto the main incomer
conductor (live feed),
with the arrow pointing
in the direction of current flowing into the house
but away from the meter see figure 21. The
current clamp is used to measure all power coming
into and out of the house.
Note: We recommend a 10cm space between
the current clamp cable and any power wiring
for a long run. The cable can share a wall
penetration but should then branch away from
any power wiring to at least 10cm. Do not
install the current clamp cabling in same
conduit as power cables due to interference.
see figure 22.
