Single-Phase Two-Wire without Neutral
This is seen in residential and commercial service with 208 to 240 Vac for large appliances. The
two conductors have AC waveforms 120° or 180° out of phase. Neutral is not used. For this
configuration, the meter is powered from the
Ø
A
and
Ø
B
(phase A and phase B) terminals.
For best accuracy, we recommend connecting the
N
(neutral) terminal to the ground terminal.
This will not cause ground current to flow because the neutral terminal does not power the meter.

Recommended WattNode Model
This configuration is normally measured with the following WattNode model.

WNB-3D-240-P
If neutral is available, you may also use the WNB-3Y-208-P model. If you use the WNB-3Y-208-P,
you will need to hook up the meter as shown in section
Single-Phase Three-Wire (Mid-Point
and connect neutral. You will need two CTs.
If one of the conductors (phase A or phase B) is grounded, see
below for
recommendations.
