Installation:
Power and CT Connection
STEP 6
There are two methods of connecting the Hypervolt to an electrical supply (Connection Method 1 or 2) which can be done using a further two methods of wiring (1
Wire Method or 2 Wire Method).
Connection Method 1:
A separate consumer unit spurred into the existing meter tails is installed just for the use of the Hypervolt unit. HyperConnect (1 Wire Method Orange cable only) is run
from the Hypervolt unit and a joint made within the consumer unit to the CT Clamp Cable. If you are not using HyperConnect then run a separate supply cable and
separate Cat5 cable for the CT (2 wire method Orange & Black Cables) these cables must not be run directly alongside each other.
Connection Method 2:
This is the same as above apart from the supply is taken from an existing consumer unit. Remember not to share an RCD with another circuit. Both wiring methods
can still be used.
For Both Methods
Connect the power cable to a suitably sized protective device. The Hypervolt takes a maximum load just below 32A. Consideration should be given to if a 32A or 40A
device is used based upon the operating environment. A 32A device may run too warm and trip out prematurely over a long charging period if it is between other
loaded devices. The Hypervolt must be on an individual (not supplying other circuits) A Type RCD double pole device. If an RCD is used an additional MCB (32A or
40A) will need to be included for overload protection. If an A Type RCBO (32A or 40A) is to be used please remember this must also be double pole.
