4.1: Considerations When Installing Meters
Installation of the Shark 100 Meter must be performed by only qualified personnel who follow
standard safety precautions during all procedures. Those personnel should have appropriate training
and experience with high voltage devices. Appropriate safety gloves, safety glasses and protective
clothing is recommended.
During normal operation of the Shark 100 Meter, dangerous voltages flow through many parts of the
meter, including: Terminals and any connected CTs (Current Transformers) and PTs (Potential
Transformers), all I/O Modules (Inputs and Outputs) and their circuits. All Primary and Secondary
circuits can, at times, produce lethal voltages and currents. Avoid contact with any current-carrying
surfaces.
Do not use the meter or any I/O Output Device for primary protection or in an energy-limiting
capacity. The meter can only be used as secondary protection. Do not use the meter for
applications where failure of the meter may cause harm or death. Do not use the meter for any
application where there may be a risk of fire.
All meter terminals should be inaccessible after installation.
Do not apply more than the maximum voltage the meter or any attached device can withstand.
Refer to meter and/or device labels and to the Specifications for all devices before applying
voltages. Do not HIPOT/Dielectric test any Outputs, Inputs or Communications terminals.
EIG recommends the use of Shorting Blocks and Fuses for voltage leads and power supply to
prevent hazardous voltage conditions or damage to CTs, if the meter needs to be removed from
service. CT grounding is optional.
Ν Ν Ο Ο Τ Τ Ε Ε : : IF THE EQUIPMENT IS USED IN A MANNER NOT SPECIFIED BY THE
MANUFACTURER, THE PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE EQUIPMENT MAY
BE IMPAIRED.
NOTE: THERE IS NO REQUIRED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OR INSPECTION
NECESSARY FOR SAFETY. HOWEVER, ANY REPAIR OR MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE
PERFORMED BY THE FACTORY.
DISCONNECT DEVICE: The following part is considered the equipment
disconnect device.
A SWITCH OR CIRCUIT-BREAKER SHALL BE INCLUDED IN THE END-USE
EQUIPMENT OR BUILDING INSTALLATION. THE SWITCH SHALL BE IN
CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE EQUIPMENT AND WITHIN EASY REACH OF THE
OPERATOR. THE SWITCH SHALL BE MARKED AS THE DISCONNECTING
DEVICE FOR THE EQUIPMENT.
