In addition to the Shark ® 200 meter/transducer configuration,
a Shark ® 200T transducer configuration is available. The
Shark ® 200T transducer is a digital transducer only unit,
providing RS485 communication via Modbus RTU, Modbus
ASCII or DNP 3.0 protocols. The unit is designed to install
using DIN Rail Mounting. (See Section 3.4 of this manual for
Shark ® 200T transducer mounting information.)

2.1.1: Voltage and Current Inputs

Universal Voltage Inputs
Voltage Inputs allow measurement up to Nominal 480VAC (Phase to Reference) and 600VAC (Phase to Phase).
This insures proper meter safety when wiring directly to high voltage systems. One unit will perform to specifica-
tion on 69 Volt, 120 Volt, 230 Volt, 277 Volt, and 347 Volt power systems.
NOTE: Higher voltages require the use of potential transformers (PTs).
Current Inputs
The unit supports a 5 amp or a 1 amp secondary for current measurements.
NOTE: The secondary current must be specified and ordered with the meter.
The Shark ® 200 meter's Current Inputs use a unique dual input method:
Method 1: CT Pass Through
The CT passes directly through the meter without any physical termination on the meter. This insures that the meter
cannot be a point of failure on the CT circuit. This is preferable for utility users when sharing relay class CTs. No
Burden is added to the secondary CT circuit.
Method 2: Current "Gills"
This unit additionally provides ultra-rugged Termination Pass Through Bars that allow CT leads to be terminated on
the meter. This, too, eliminates any possible point of failure at the meter. This is a preferred technique for insuring
that relay class CT integrity is not compromised (the CT will not open in a fault condition).
