4.3 Current Sensor Installation & Wiring

Once the AC voltages have been confirmed to be within acceptable limits, you are

ready to install the current sensors. The MAIN power board contains three header

connectors located at the bottom right of the board. The connectors are labeled A, B,

and C along with conductor color indication. This format must be followed in order for

the meter to function correctly.

The Class 2000 meter will be used with one of two basic types of current sensors:

a. Split-Core Current Sensor: This sensor opens so that it can be attached

around the circuit conductor being monitored without interrupting power.

Unless otherwise specified, all Class 2000 meters are supplied with this

sensor type.

b. Solid-Core Current Sensor: This sensor does not open and requires the

monitored conductor be removed from the circuit to install the current sensor.

This type is only supplied when specified at time of order.

NOTE: The unit serial label specifies if the unit is set up for split or solid core

current sensors. See ordering information for details.

Both types of current sensors output a 0-2 VAC signal proportional to the current being

measured.

The current sensors must be matched with the voltage phases. The A phase sensor

must be monitoring the same phase as the A phase voltage. B & C phase sensors

must also monitor the same phase as their respective voltage inputs.
