our dealers in time and keep down the damage package. If it is the responsibility of ACREL or our dealers, we
shall exchange the damage in time.

6. Installation attention
6.1 Voltage input
Voltage input should be less than 120% normal voltage (100V or 400V), otherwise please use PT;
On the voltage input, please use1A fuse.
Wire our analyzer according to the mode of PT wiring, as below:
Mode of wiring Option
2 element 3P3L
3 element 3P4L
Make sure of matching voltage input with current input, and make the same of phase and phase sequence,
(otherwise it appears the error of values or signals).

6.2 Current input
Normal current input 1A and 5A, for more than 5A please use CT;
Make sure of matching current input with voltage input, the same of phase sequence and direction;
If on the circuit of CT there are other meters, please wire them by series.
Before cut off current input, you should cut off the primary circuit of CT or short the secondary circuit of CT
at first.
6.3 Installation of CT
We propose using line bank, and do not connect CT directly in order to simplify mounting and
dismounting.
6.4 Wiring RS485 interface or Ethernet interface
Our analyzer is equipped with asynchronous semiduplex RS485 communication (MODBUS-RTU) or
Ethernet communication (MODBUS-TCP), and all the data can be transmit by it. In theory, we can series 128
devices on a MODBUS circuit, and each meter has its address. We advise using STP (<0.5mm
2
) and we
should wire far away high voltage cable or other intense interferential place.

7.4 QUALITY quality of network
CF: (Crest Factor)
Because voltage Harmonics will influence the isolation of circuit, we
have to notice the voltage peak value. The crest factor is the ratio of
maximal of voltage harmonic superimpose and RMS. The ideal CF of sine
wave is 1.414.
THFF: (Telephone Harmonic Form Factor)
The interference of harmonic may cause the noise of communication
system and influence the quality of communication; our ears and the
telephone can not response well to the 50Hz current and voltage but can
response well to about 1KHz current and voltage; In Europe, CCITT
detect the interference of harmonic to telecom with Pn, then figure it with
THFF.
It is 0 when no harmonic.
KF: (Current K Factor)
The current K factor is the number of current harmonic, and it can
help you to choose transformer. K factor and KVA are used together to
change the transformer to deal with the load of the non-line or harmonic.
Current K factor is the value of thermal effect of transformer caused by harmonic. The bigger is K factor,
the higher is the heat caused by harmonic.
UF: (Unbalance factor)
To look at the current and voltage unbalance factor. In the 3 phase distribution, if the current or voltages
RMS arent same or the difference among 3 phase angle is not 120 degree, we call the phase voltages or
current is unbalance. The unbalance voltage or current of 3 phase can be divided positive component,
negative component and zero component..
U PEAK: (The Peak Voltage)
U VECTOR: (The voltage vector)
To look at positive component, negative component and zero component.
I VECTOR: (The current vector)
To look at positive component, negative component and zero component.
