Negative power values
If negative power values are measured on a circuit, please check whether the associated
current transformer circuit is connected correctly.
Note
Current measurement
A current measurement requires a voltage source to be connected. A current measurement
is not possible without voltage source.
Note
Power measurement on motor with 2 current transformers
• The voltage is measured via the connections L1, L2 and L3.
• The current is measured with two current transformers [} 123] via the connections I
• The sum of all currents in the 3-phase mains network is 0. The value in circuit I
accordingly by wiring the EL3773.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock!
If you do not connect terminal point N with the neutral conductor of your mains supply, you
have to earth terminal point N, in order to avoid dangerous overvoltages in the event of a
WARNING
fault with a current transformer!
Attention! Risk of device damage!
Avoid confusing the current and voltage circuit during connection, since the direct connec-
tion of mains voltage to the terminal points for the current transformers (typical input resis-

tance 220 mΩ) would destroy the power measurement terminal!
