Current Probe Basic Setup
Basic setup for current probes involves programming the meter with the current
probe transformation ratio, and if necessary, the phase angle provided by the
current probe manufacturer (phase angle correction is necessary if energy readings
accuracy is required). These parameters are saved to the meter as User Defined 1 or
User Defined 2 and are activated on the meter with the meter front panel or
software.

In the following example, we will set up a ION 7500 meter to match current probes
that have a 300A primary rating, a 0.333V output, and a phase shift of 2

In a Telnet or HyperTerminal session, we will set up the parameters using the
KCTSTP write command, and save this to the meter as User Defined 1. (Refer to the
KCTSTP command in the ”The Calibration menu contains the following calibration
commands:” section).

Next, we will verify our setup with the KCTRD read command. Finally, with the
meter front panel or software, we will access the Power Meter module Current
Probe setup register, and select User Defined 1. This activates the meter with the
parameters we have set in this example.

Before changing meter parameters, use the Calibration menu KCTRD read command to display the
meter default settings. Print out the default settings, and store the printout so you can refer to the default
settings later if required.
