Page 228 Overview, continued This section contains diagrams of both voltage and current probe connections that are Voltage and current required when power measurements are to be made. connections Voltage: Voltage probes are connected to the individual source or load line and are referenced to the return (common) line voltage probe connection for greatest accuracy.
Page 229: Verifying Voltage And Current Connections
APPENDIX E/ Common Circuit Connections Verifying Voltage and Current Connections Correct voltage and current connection of single phase, split phase, or polyphase Introduction connections can be verified using phasor diagrams. Phasor diagrams are graphic representations that show the magnitude and angular relationship of voltage and current for each phase of a monitored connection.
Page 230 5 Start Menu - Circuit Type Selection on page 5-11). The instrument compares the detected voltages, currents, and phase sequence (if applicable) to the selected circuit type. The PowerVisa issues a message if the specified circuit type and the actual voltage/current connections match.

Page 241: Connecting To A Current Transformer (Ct
PTs used for voltage measurements in that both reduce values for safe measurement. The reduction, or step-down ratio, is stated as a scale factor that is used by the PowerVisa to step-up the measured value to its original value. There are single-phase CTs and polyphase CTs dependent on the source transformer Types of CTs used.
Page 242: Connecting To An Isolated Current Transformer (Iso
Low current monitoring devices made by Dranetz are called isolated current Introduction transformers or ISO boxes. The Dranetz-BMI ISO box has a 5 A current range. The following safety precautions apply to ISO box connections in addition to those Safety precautions safety precautions stated on page E-3.
Page 243 ISO boxes can be used in a number of ways. These methods include: Applications • connecting them to the secondary of CTs for metering by the PowerVisa. • inserting them in series with the load current to measure low current values.
