B. Running current
transformer tails
1. Run CT conduit from Solshare to main switchboard
(the CT conduit gland is the pre-installed CT conduit
gland on the underside of the SolShare - see the
underside view diagram on p. 13 to ascertain where
the CT conduit gland is).
2. Look for labels on current transformers and current
transformer tails. Ensure these match the
corresponding tenancy.
3. Run tails of CTs from main switchboard to SolShare
through conduit.

Conduit cable
Current transformers to SolShare connections
Wiring tails to Solshare:
1. Connect the CT cabling to the CT connector
block, as per the diagram to the right. To do this:
- Push the orange tab in and hold.
- Feed the CT cable into the hole.
- Once inserted, release the orange tab.
- Confirm cable is secure by giving it a gentle tug.
2. Repeat for all CT cables of the red phase.
3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 for white and blue phase
connector blocks.
4. Plug each CT connector block into the
corresponding socket of the SolShare.
Important:
Make sure colours and orientation of connectors
are identical to the image above. To ensure you
are positioning them correctly, check that the
orange tabs are above your plugged in cables,
and labels read as above.

Important:
If you are using the standard 75A CTs provided
with the SolShare, their 10m tails cannot be
extended.
If you require tail lengths of more than 10m,
an additional upgraded CT set should have
been ordered at the time of ordering the
SolShare. Please call Allume on the phone
number provided on the back page of this
manual to order the upgraded CT kit.
Important:
The SolShare has come with a CT connection
aid. Place the CT connecter into the connection
aid to help with the termination of the CT tails.
Important:
If you are using the upgraded CT set, these come with 10m tails but can be extended to a total of up to 50m.
The tail extension can be done for each CT separately using the following recommended parts:
- Butt splice connector (appropriate size for cable)
- Twisted shield cable, minimum 24 AWG size (to the length required on top of 10m to make the run
between SolShare and main switchboard)
