5. Konfigurazzjoni u Installazzjoni

5.1. DIN Rail Installation

  1. Push off the buckle on the back side of the meter.
  2. Install the meter onto a 35mm DIN rail by aligning the slot behind the meter with the rail.
  3. Buckle up the meter to fix it securely on the DIN rail.
  4. Ensure the meter is successfully installed and stable.
Steps for DIN rail installation of the energy meter
Figure 5: DIN Rail Installation Steps.

5.2. Current Transformer (CT) Installation

The ACR10R meter can be paired with either split-core CTs or Rogowski coils. Ensure correct polarity and secure connection for accurate measurements.

  • Split Core CT Installation: Open the CT, place the conductor through the center, and close it securely. Ensure the direction of current flow matches the CT's arrow for correct measurement.
  • Rogowski Coil Installation: Wrap the Rogowski coil around the conductor.
