A Typical 230V Single-Phase Panel
Setup (US Wire Colors)
Connect the Black L1 voltage lead to Voltage L1, Red L2 voltage lead to L2 voltage, White Neutral voltage
lead to neutral. CT1 would monitor L1 loads and CT2 would monitor L2 loads. Based on the above
guidelines, CT3 can be used if the Blue L3 voltage lead is connected to either L1 or L2. As long as voltage
lead L3 and CT3 are in-phase, the Power Patrol meter will provide correct kW readings. If the Blue L3
voltage lead was connected to L2 voltage source, then CT3 could monitor any L2 branch circuit. Or, if the
Blue L3 voltage lead was connected to L1 voltage source, then CT3 could monitor any L1 branch circuit.
A Typical 115V Single-Phase Panel
Setup
Connect the Black L1 voltage lead to Voltage L1 (hot), Red L2 voltage lead to Neutral, and White N
voltage lead to neutral. CT1 would monitor the L1 load. CT3 can be used if the Blue L3 voltage lead is
connected to L1. CT3 could then monitor any L1 branch circuit.
System Values
System values are the sum of L1 + L2 + L3 measurements. System values may not be meaningful since
two different devices or loads can be monitored by a single Power Patrol element.
When paired with the right voltage phase, each CT provides individual kW/kWh readings for that CT
channel.
