Points of attention
Check the points below
Check that the energy meter is correctly connected to the CT (current transformer) before setting up the energy meter.
The white wire / S1 of the transformer must be connected to the + terminal of the energy meter
The black wire / S2 of the transformer must be connected to the – terminal of the energy meter.
If connected incorrectly, there is the possibility that the current will be measured incorrectly. For example: connect black wire to the positive terminal of the energy meter.

CT clamp setting
The CT options set the secondary current (CT2, 5A, or 1A) of the current transformer (CT) used with the meter.

CT ratio
The CT ratio is the primary CT divided by the secondary CT.
For example, for 200/5A current transformers of which CT1 = 200 and CT2 = 5:
200 ÷ 5 = 40, so the CT Ratio would then be 0040.
Or with a CT100/1A, the ratio is 100 / 1 = 100
On the MID version, you can only program the CT-Ratio once.
This energy meter can be set to function with CT terminals from 1A to 5A secondary current. When choosing current transformers, the primary current of the transformers should be equal to or greater than the load current of the circuit you want to measure.
To avoid errors in the energy measurement, the P1 port of the CT must be pointed towards the power supply. However, if the P2 port is facing the power supply, you can still correct it with the Handleiding Eastron energiemeters help of the current direction chapter.
