Power Measurement-Connecting Sensors & Configuring Channels - Dent ELITEpro XC Operator's Manual

Power Measurement—Connecting Sensors & Configuring Channels
The ELITEpro XC can monitor AC power loads ranging from single phase, 2-wire to 3 phase-4 wire
systems and up to 600 VAC at 50 or 60Hz.
Read all warning symbols described in the Safety section AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MANUAL.
Use the proper Current Transformers (CTs) for the load being monitored. For a complete discussion on
this, see the section Current Transformer (CT) Selection below.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE UNSHUNTED CTs. ONLY USE SHUNTED CTS FROM DENT INSTRUMENTS
WITH 333 mVAC OUTPUT. ALL DIAGRAMS IN THIS SECTION SHOW THE CT PHASING ARROW
POINTING TOWARD THE LOAD.
Always orient the arrow on the CT towards the load or as otherwise indicated on the CT. All diagrams in
this section will show the CT phasing arrow oriented towards the load.
WARNING: Use of this device in a manner for which it is not intended may impair its means of
protection. Do not exceed 600 VAC voltage inputs!
When connecting the ELITEpro XC to an AC load, follow these steps in sequence to prevent a shock
