Balanced 3-phase Wye system with 2 CTs
The current for the unconnected current input is calculated so that the vector sum for all
three phase currents equal zero.
three phase currents equal zero.
Balanced 3-phase Wye or Delta system with 1 CT
The currents for the unconnected current inputs are calculated so that their magnitude
and phase angle are identical and equally distributed, and the vector sum for all three
phase currents equal zero.

NOTE: You must always use 3 CTs for 3-phase 4-wire center-tapped Delta or
center-tapped open Delta systems.

Neutral and ground current
The fourth current input (I4) can be used to measure current flow (In) in the neutral
conductor, which can then be used to calculate residual current. The meter refers to
residual current as ground current (Ig).

residual current as ground current (Ig).
For 4-wire Wye systems, ground current is calculated as the difference between the
measured neutral current and the vector sum of all measured phase currents.

Communications
This section provides additional information about the communications ports and
topologies supported by the meter. You must wire and configure the RS-485 port and/or
the Ethernet port in order to communicate with the meter.

Serial communications
The meter supports serial communications through the RS-485 port. Up to 32 devices
can be connected on a single RS-485 bus.
can be connected on a single RS-485 bus.
In an RS-485 network, there is one master device, typically an Ethernet to RS-485
gateway. It provides the means for RS-485 communications with multiple slave devices
(for example, meters). For applications that require only one dedicated computer to
communicate with the slave devices, an RS-232 to RS-485 converter can be used as
the master device.
