Installation Procedures This section provides information about activities that must be performed to install the PowerHawk 6212, 6312 and 6412 meters in a single-phase 2-wire, single-phase 3-wire (network), or three-phase 4-wire application (120/208V). The installation procedures must be performed in the following order: “Mounting the PowerHawk 6212, 6312 and 6412 meters”...
01/2011 Installation Mounting the PowerHawk 6212, 6312 and Mount the PowerHawk 6212, 6312 and 6412 meters adjacent to the main 6412 meters circuit breaker box using the 1-inch (25-mm) #8 screws as shown in Figure 4. If mounting the unit on a plasterboard surface, use cylinder plugs.
Voltage transformers must be mounted in a listed electrical enclosure. Mount the voltage transformer enclosure between the supply voltage and the PowerHawk 6212, 6312 and 6412 meters. Transformer configuration must be Y||Y (wye-wye). Figure 5 shows a voltage transformer chassis in a three-phase 277/480V installation .
• three-phase 3 CTs The PowerHawk 6212, 6312 and 6412 meters are shipped from the factory with an AC power block between the control power input and the reference voltage inputs to provide control power to the unit. The following procedures explain how to connect the reference voltage inputs for each of the service types.
(see Figure 10) and is typically used where accuracy is important and long secondary CT wiring is required (up to 300 feet [91.44 meters]). For instructions, see “Installing the CTs on the PowerHawk 6212 and PowerHawk 6312” on page 16.
