  • Page 16 DANGER The mounting enclosure should be positioned such that the doors may be opened fully for easy access to the 3720 ACM During normal operation of this wiring and related components to allow for convenient device, hazardous voltages are troubleshooting.
  • Page 17 BASIC MODEL ity to the unit and within easy reach to the The basic model 3720 ACM can be powered by 100 to 240 operator. This switch or circuit breaker VAC (± 10%) or 110 to 300 VDC at 0.2 Amps. Power should be marked as the disconnecting supply options are also available.
  • Page 18 For proper monitoring, correct selection of PTs is critical. For Wye systems, the PT primary rating should equal the The 3720 ACM uses the V1 input as the reference for main- system line-to-neutral voltage or nearest higher standard taining phase relationships for all power and energy related size.
