Test Steps:
1. Make the appropriate connections either with a universal socket adaptor or connections made
from the meter test switch at the installation so that each reference standard is powered from one
of the voltage and current sources in each phase. Refer to Figure 14. Auxilliary power for each
standard can be wired in parallel and sourced from any convenient 120/240 volt single phase
supply.
2. Apply test voltage, current, and auxiliary power.
