Always avoid working on live parts of an installation.
Mounting instruction
No special tools are required to install a current transformer (CT)
of the KUW series. To connect the CT to the meter correctly,
please consult the installation guide of the meter.
Attention
Do not touch the core surfaces by hand: skin acid may damage
the core. Avoid dust on the core surfaces.
Assembly
Under no circumstances the secondary circuit of the CT may be
opened when the CT is closed and the current is flowing in the
primary circuit. High voltages may appear on the secondary
leads when this circuit is left open.
1. Ensure a safe working area
maintenance and inspection of the CT. If necessary, dis-
connect the power of the primary circuit and make sure it
can not be enabled unintentionally.
2. Find the power direction of the cable you want to
measure. It is recommended to mount the P1 side to
power source and the P2 side to power consumer. If the
CT is installed like this, the arrow on the CT will indicate
the direction of the power flow.
3. Open the CT and mount it on the cable by using cable ties.
Attention: Do not close the CT. Otherwise high voltages
may appear on the open secondary leads!
Safety instruction
All activities for installation, commissioning and maintenance of
this current transformer must be performed by qualified person-
nel that have the knowledge of applicable safety precautions.
This guide assumes that the reader of this document has suf-
ficient electro-technical knowledge to understand the content
of this document.
General
The KUW split-core is a current transformer (CT) and can only
be used for measuring electrical alternating currents. The KUW
is suitable only for mounting on insulated primary conductors in
a weather protected and dry location.

4. Connect the secondary leads (S1, S2) to the low
impedance current input of the measurement instrument
(e.g., an ammeter or current input of kWh-meter).
5. Close the CT only when you are sure that the secondary
leads are connected to the current input of the measure-
ment instrument. The CT is properly closed when you hear
a 'click'.
6. Enable the primary circuit if necessary.
7. Check if the CT is mounted and closed properly.
Check if the secondary leads are connected properly and
firmly.

Maintenance and inspection
• Check whether the secondary leads are connected firmly.
during assembly,
• Check whether the CT is closed properly.
• Check whether the CT is mounted firmly.
• Remove severe pollution on the casing. Contact with
moisture, especially with the core, must be avoided.
Attention
Do not touch the core surfaces by hand: skin acid may
damage the core.
Temporarily disconnecting the CT
The secondary leads of the CT always have to be connected
to a low impedance burden such as an ammeter. When,
during maintenance, no burden is available to connect to, the
secondary leads of the CT (the two secondary terminals)
must be short-circuited.
Problem solving
e.g. unexpected or incorrect values, reversed power
• Check the settings of the meter by using the installation
guide of the meter.
• Check whether the CT is mounted on the intended cable
in the right direction.
This product is designed according
the EN-IEC 61010-2-032:2012 standards and
therefore this product meets the requirements of
the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC.
Do not apply around or remove from UNINSULAT-
ED HAZARDOUS LIVE conductors, which may
render electric shock, electric burn, or arc flash.
Read the installation guide before mounting the
product. Unprofessional work activities on electri-
cal installations may result in a threat of danger to
the life and health of human beings and livestock!
Under no circumstances the secondary circuit of
the CT may be opened when the CT is closed
and current is flowing in the primary circuit. High
voltages may appear on the secondary leads
when this circuit is left open.
RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU
Janitza states that they only uses qualified com-
ponents in their products from manufacturers,
whose specifications meet or exceed the require-
ments of the European Directive for the Restric-
tion of use of certain Hazardous Substances.

• Check if the CT is closed properly.
• Check the value of the secondary burden (secondary leads
length/diameter and meter impendent). See product/data
sheet for the maximum burden value.

In case there is pollution, the core surfaces can be cleaned
with a lint free cloth and then protected with an extremely
thin layer of acid free petroleum jelly (Vaseline).
Attention
Always follow the disassembly instructions when reversing

Tools are only required for removing the cable ties of the CT.
1. Ensure a safe working area during disassembling the CT. If
necessary, disconnect the power of the primary circuit and
make sure it can not be enabled unintentionally.
2. Open the CT.
3. Disconnect the secondary leads from the measurement
instrument.
4. Remove the cable ties. Pay attention not to damage the in-
sulation of the primary conductor when removing the cable
ties. Remove the CT.
5. Enable the primary circuit if necessary.
Recycling
When the product has reached 'end of life', it must be recy-
cled. Do not dispose this product as unsorted municipal waste.
Contact a qualified recycler for disposal.
