Always install the HVA High Voltage Ammeter on a hotstick with length appropriate for the voltage to be measured by way of the built-in universal Conductor spline or hookstick connection, making certain it is securely attached. To measure the current in a conductor, place the Ammeter completely over the conductor as shown (upper right) so that the conductor is completely inside the U.

MEASURING CURRENT ON UG CABLES & IN PADMOUNT ENCLOSURES Secondary voltage cables are generally unshielded and current can be easily measured by placing the Ammeter completely over the secondary cable or cable bundle so that all cables are completely inside the U on the HVA High Voltage Ammeter. Primary voltage cables are generally shielded and the Ammeter cannot measure current on a shielded cable except in areas where the shield has been removed.
