3.12.1 Connecting to Secondary Current Transformer (CT)
WARNING:
Use caution when connecting to a secondary current trans-
former.
1. Short the two leads of each secondary current measurement transformer.
2. Never open a secondary circuit of a CT if its primary circuit is connected to a
supply voltage. In any case, disconnect the primary measurement transformer
circuit from the supply network.
3. Connect each CT secondary to the input of the 5A adapter in the correct order
(ground on P2) and the right phase order L1, L2, L3.
