SECTION 2:  OVERVIEW 

 
The BGS16 is a power monitoring system designed for installation on select panelboard 
circuits or input feeds, high energy loads such as generators, HVAC equipment and 
switchgear. The system transmits the monitoring information via a wireless mesh network to 
one or more Packet Power Ethernet Gateway (“Gateway”) devices.   

Supported Voltage Service Types 

The BGS16 comes pre-wired for use with one of the following service types: 

 

120V and 230-240V single-phase (L + N + ground) 

 

208V single-phase (L + L + ground) 

 

277V single-phase (L + N + ground) 

 

208/120V three-phase wye (3-wire + N + ground) 

 

208V three-phase delta (3-wire + ground) 

 

240/120V split-phase (2-wire + N + ground) 

 

415/240V three-phase wye (3-wire + N + ground) 

 

480/277V three-phase wye (3-wire + N + ground) 

 
Ensure that the type of voltage service that is present in the equipment you are monitoring 
matches the type indicated on the label of the BGS16. The BGS16 cannot be used on 480V 
equipment if access to N is not present nor on 600/347V circuits. The BGS16 is powered 
from the voltage source it is monitoring.  

Current Transformers 

The BGS16 is preconfigured for use with split core CTs with rated amperage of 15A to 
4000A and 333mV output or Rogowski coil sensors supporting 100A to 4000A. Split core 
CTs can be safely used on circuits up to 120% of their nominal rating (for example a 100A 
CT can be used on circuits up to 120A). 
 
Use of the CTs on circuits with greater than maximum load will result in degraded accuracy 
and damage to the CTs. CTs should not be removed from conductors while under load. Once 
installed on a conductor that has load present, the CT must be connected to the BGS16. 
Failure to do so will create a safety hazard and result in damage to the CT. 
 
Split core CTs include 24 AWG 600V twisted pair leads that terminate in the CT 
Interconnect Board. The CT Interconnect Board is connected to the BGS16 using the 
provided CT Interconnect Cable (shielded ribbon cable).
