Safety information
• Do not position the Siemens Inhab Energy so that it is difficult to
operate disconnecting devices or breakers.
• Do not use 3rd party accessories or Current Transformers (CTs) with
the Siemens Inhab Energy. The Inhab Energy and CTs are
customized and integrated. Third party accessories or CTs may
compromise the data accuracy and equipment safety.
• The current transformers may not be installed in equipment where
they exceed 75 percent of the wiring space of any cross-sectional
area within the equipment
• Restrict installation of current transformers in an area where it
would block ventilation openings.
• Restrict installation of current transformers in an area of breaker
venting. Do not install the Siemens Inhab Energy Monitor in any
area where breaker arc venting exhaust gasses could be re-directed
as a result of submetering equipment installation.
• The Siemens Inhab Energy is not suitable for Class 2 wiring
methods and not intended for connection to Class 2 equipment.
(Refer to NEC 2023, Section 725.)
• Secure current transformers and route conductors so that the
conductors do not directly contact live terminals or buses.
• The Siemens Inhab Energy shall not be mounted within 50.8 mm
(2 in) of any live parts including primary conductors, primary
terminals, and primary lugs; but excluding insulated cables. It's
acceptable for the Inhab Energy to be mounted to the grounded
panel box and near the neutral/ground bus bars. The Inhab
Energy employs Class I wiring allowing its wires to safely coexist
with all other wires in the panel.
• If the Siemens Inhab Energy Monitor is attached to the enclosure,
it shall not contact the panel interior insulation such as the material
that separates the GND and LIVE bus bars.
• Siemens Inhab Energy Monitor mounting provisions shall not be
attached to any energized part.
• Voltage sensing and power supply connections to the primary
voltage shall have overcurrent protection through connection to a
breaker/MCB.
• Do not use aluminum wire with the Inhab product.
• Do not install the Siemens Inhab Energy in electrical panels installed
in outdoor environments.
