must be “dry” (i.e. non-powered) and one side must be connected to the common DC
negative conductor.
2.5. AC VOLTAGE INPUT
The MEC 20 can accept direct AC voltage input from 120-600Vac (nominal).
Note:
Direct input voltage sensing can only be used when the generator utilizes a single
phase 3 wire or 3 phase, 4 wire distribution system with a solidly grounded neutral
conductor. For 3 phase 3 wire systems (i.e. no neutral) or high voltage systems,
potential transformers must be used. Refer to FIGURES #1 - 4 for voltage sensing
connections. To display generator line to neutral voltage in a 3 phase 4 wire system,
the neutral must be connected as shown.
