Ct compatability

Post by TomasH »

Hi, will a 100A 50mA ct with two forms of current output be compatable with a v.4 Omnimeter?[L3]

Hello TomasH,

I am not sure what you mean by "50mA ct with two forms of output".

It sounds like this might work as long as you did not run more than about 50 amps through your CT model. (If you were to put 50 amps through your CT it should output about 25mA). Our meters are designed to work with 26.6mA output CTs, so as long as your CT does not put out more than 26.6mA you will be fine.

Of course we will not be able to vouch for the accuracy of this type of a setup.

Thanks,
Jameson

Thanks, I am only going to monitor my hot water line with it, I think a maximum of 16 Amps to be expected. I have it on a separate line from my Box due to a solar inverter, I do not want to expose it directly to the .9 Cos or high VARS. Works really good and for a long time otherwise, I also have my coffee on a separate line! Thanks again :o 8-)
