Re: EKM Metering load side question

Hello Kane, Yes, you can use our meter to measure an unbalanced 3-phase 4-wire system. For example: A 3-phase 4-wire 120/208 volt system. There are 3 hot wires and a neutral wire. If you measure from any hot wire to another hot wire you would get 208 volts. If you measure from any hot wire to the ne...

Re: EKM Metering load side question

Hello Kane, I still am not clear on the nature of your installation or why you may need to connect the meter to 3-phase. But if the fan is the only load in your 3-phase system that the meter is measuring (the fan is only connected to one of the phases), then the meter will measure its consumption ac...

Re: EKM Metering load side question

Hello Kane, I may be missing the nature of your question. But lets assume you just want to meter a single phase Fan using an EKM Omnimeter. The EKM Omnimeter is a Universal meter so it can be wired to either read 3-phase systems or single phase systems. Here are 2 different wiring configurations for...

Re: Meter Display

Hey there Bill :P Yes, the EKM Omnimeter Pulse v.4 can be set to only display the values you want to see on the LCD screen. This meter displays up to 40 different values on the LCD screen. Each value has a number on the left hand side of the screen that corresponds with the values in Fig 6 here: htt...

Re: Connecting to two different circuits at different times

Bill does make a good point above. CTs should never be left on a line with current running through them without either connecting them to the meter CT inputs or shorting out the White CT Wire to the Black CT Wire. A direct short will work, we use wire nuts or our Lever Nuts for this.

Thanks Bill!

Re: Paralleling CTs

Hello Cogilvie, If you have a v.3 meter, this meter does not provide kWh on Line 1 and a separate kWh on Line 2. I imagine you are looking at a different data field. Possibly you are looking at Register 1 which is for "Total kWh" and Register 2 which is "Reverse kWh". If you are ...

Re: Why do I twohave kwh readings, total incorrect

Hello Peter, Welcome to the forum. Here is a page that explains each of the values you see on the LCD screen: http://documents.ekmmetering.com/EKM_Metering_LCD_Display_Value_Reading.pdf Register 1 is Total kWh: This is Forward kWh + Reverse kWh Register 2 is Reverse kWh: This is important if you are...

Re: Connecting to two different circuits at different times

Hello Pat, Yes this is quite possible. I would recommend you get 1 Omnimeter and 1 set of split-core CTs. http://www.ekmmetering.com/ekm-metering-products/current-transformers-cts/split-core-current-transformers-cts.html The split-core CTs make it very easy to move the meter and CTs from one locatio...
