that under no failure mode does the microphone come within unsafe distances of the energized
conductors.
The microphones should be aimed so that they are pointing at the point where the conductor
becomes exposed. Exact aiming is not critical.

RFCT

RFCT sensors are to be mounted on the ground straps of the HV cables. Under no circumstances
are they to be mounted around the conductors, insulated or not. Sensors and wiring must be
placed so that under no failure mode does the sensor come within unsafe distances of the
energized conductors.
The RFCT should be secured with tie wraps or otherwise so that once installed, they cannot be
accidently dislodged. They should be installed such that they are protected from water that may
collect on the floor of the cubicle.
The polarity arrow on the sensor needs to face the same direction on all RFCT in a given system.
Convention is that the arrow points toward the cable termination and away from ground.
EA Technology RFCTs are designed to be installed by suitably competent
operators on cable earth/ground straps which are suitably and efficiently
connected to earth/ground to maintain safety.
