  • Page 23 Polaris 1000 User’s Manual Q. What will happen if the polarities are reversed for each of the CT? A. The Polaris only considers the absolute value of the current and disregards the direction; thus, the current and energy values can only be positive. However, we still recommended that the CTs be connected with the correct wiring orientation.
