HDPM6000 METSEHDP150A30H Split Core Current Transformer

Samlex MSK-10A Solar Charge Controller - icon4 The Power Logic HDPM6000 series low-voltage current transducers (LVCT) provide secondary AC voltage proportional to the primary (sensed) alternating current. For use with the HDPM6000 platform only, these current transducers provide a means to transform electrical service amperages to a voltage compatible with monitoring equipment.

Installation

Turn off and lock out power to the primary circuit before installing these CTs. Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that power is off.
NOTICE
INCORRECT POLARITY OR CT WIRE MISCONNECTION

  • Align CT arrow to point in the direction of the power flow.
  • Paired lead wires must be kept together.
  • Do not install CTs in a panel where they exceed 75% of the wiring space of any cross-sectional area within the panel.
  • Do not install CTs in areas of breaker arc venting.
  • Do not install CTs using Class 2 wiring methods or connect to Class 2 equipment (NFPA 70)
  • Secure CTs and route conductors so that they do not contact live terminals or bus.

Failure to follow this instruction can result in incorrect readings or loss of data or damage to equipment.
Connect the transducer output leads to the meter inputs. Refer the wiring diagram in the installation guide for the appropriate module for details.
SUN2, SUN3, SUN4, SUS4, and SUSF Installation
Busbar and Phase Orientation

  • The white mark ensures orientation every time the top is attached.
  • The white mark is on the top right side when looking at the product label.
  • Refer to label for correct CT orientation.

Schneider Electric HDPM6000 METSEHDP150A30H Split Core Current Transformer - Fig1

Proper Size and Fitting

  • The window of the CT should be big enough to fit the busbar without excess space.
  • A split-core CT should not be oversized around the bus/conductor, resulting in an inaccurate/bad reading.
  • The busbar should also be in the center of the CT window to allow the coils to energize evenly.

Schneider Electric HDPM6000 METSEHDP150A30H Split Core Current Transformer - Fig2

Installation

  1. Remove the screws (or push-pins) from the CT and take the top off.
  2. Slide the body of the CT over the busbar.
    NOTE: Refer to label for correct CT orientation.
  3. Re-attach the top to the body of the CT, using the white mark to orient how the top will fit.
  4. Place the screws/push-pins back to secure the top to the CT.
  5. Terminate the leads to the metering device before turning on the power.

Schneider Electric HDPM6000 METSEHDP150A30H Split Core Current Transformer - Fig3

CTMF Installation

  1. Release the clasp on one side of the CT and open it on the hinge.
    NOTE: Check the core ends on both sections of the CT to ensure there is no rust or debris in the closure areas. A label on the product indicates the source side. In the illustrated diagram, the arrow indicates the current flow (i.e., the label faces away from the circuit breaker).
  2. Wrap the CT around the primary lead.
  3. Close the CT until the clasp clicks into place to ensure that the contact surfaces are firmly seated.
  4. Reconnect power to the panel.
    CTs may be simply hung on the wire on which they snap around. An alternative is the use of VELCRO ® strips on the bottom or hinged side of the unit, to allow for ease of mounting and removal as necessary. VELCRO is non-conductive.

Schneider Electric HDPM6000 METSEHDP150A30H Split Core Current Transformer - Fig4

CTTA, CTTB, CTTG, and SUST Installation

  1. Route the primary conductor through the center of the CT and complete the conductor connections.
    NOTE: A label on the product indicates the source side. All solid-core CT models should be oriented such that the wire leads face the source.
  2. Reconnect power to the panel.
