3.3.4. CONNECTION

1.
Turn the instrument ON.
2.
Configure the instrument for the measurement to be made and the network type (see §4).
3.
Connect the leads and current sensors to the instrument.
4.
Connect the ground and/or neutral lead to the network ground and/or neutral (when it is distributed) and connect the
corresponding current sensor.
5.
Connect the L1 phase lead to the network L1 phase and connect the corresponding current sensor.
6.
If applicable, repeat the procedure for phases L2 and L3, and for N.
NOTE: Complying with this procedure minimizes connection errors and saves time.
Disconnection procedure:
1.
Proceed in reverse order of connection, always finishing by disconnecting the neutral (when distributed).
2.
Disconnect the leads and turn the instrument OFF.
