Variations and Installation of Current Transformers
WARNING: Always open or disconnect the circuit from the power distribution system of a
building before installing or servicing current transformers to reduce risk of electric shock.
WARNING:
In accordance with NEC, CTs may not be installed in any panel board where they
exceed 75% of the wiring space of any cross-sectional area.
General Requirements:
•
Splices on the CT leads must be within the meter enclosure, not inside the conduit. Leviton
provided CT leads are 48 inches minimum. Wire insulation should be stripped so that the bare
conductor length that connects to the meter terminal block does not exceed 0.300 inches.
•
CTs should be securely fastened such that they will not slide down to live terminals.
•
Wires should be tightened so that they are held snuggly in place, but do not to over-tighten, as this
may compress and weaken the conductor. Maximum rated torque for CT terminal blocks is
4.4 in-lb.
•
Current and voltage inputs must be installed in phase‘ (e.g. CT1 on Line 1, CT2 on Line 2, CT3 on
Line 3) and oriented correctly as shown in Hookup Diagrams in Figures 8 and 9.
