CT Interconnect Cable and Board
The CT Interconnect Board is connected to the BGS16 via the CT Interconnect Cable. The
interconnect cables and boards are labeled if multiple BGS16s are shipped to one location.
Mount CT Interconnect Board
The green CT Interconnect Board is fastened to a 72 x 53 x 6.3 mm acrylic base and includes
VHB adhesive tape on the back of the base.
Clean the area thoroughly, then mount the CT Interconnect Board inside the panel or near
equipment being monitored using the VHB adhesive tape (or mount using 5/32” screws). Be
sure to orient the CT Interconnect Board so the black connector header faces away from the
circuits or panel.
Attach Interconnect Cable to Interconnect Board
Attach the connector at the end of the CT Interconnect Cable to the corresponding CT
Interconnect Board header. The interconnect cables and boards are labeled if multiple
BGS16s are shipped to one location.
CT Leads
Split core CTs are connected to the CT Interconnect Board via loose twisted pair leads.
Flexible CT wire harnesses consisting of 16 leads per harness in multiple configurations are
available.
Loose leads are best suited to equipment such as switchgear that has widely- or unevenly-
spaced circuits. Wire harnesses are best installed with evenly-spaced circuits.
Always orient the CT Interconnect board’s
