GE EPM 6000 CT Leads Terminated to Meter, CT Leads Pass-Through No Meter Termination

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION

3.2.2CT Leads Terminated to Meter

The EPM 6000 is designed to have current inputs wired in one of three ways. The figure below shows the most typical connection, where CT Leads are terminated to the meter at the current gills. This connection uses nickel-plated brass studs (current gills) with screws at each end. This connection allows the CT wires to be terminated using either an “O” or a “U” lug. Tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

Wiring diagrams are detailed in Wiring Diagrams on page 3–9. Communications connections are detailed in Communications Setup on page 3–19.

3.2.3CT Leads Pass-Through (No Meter Termination)

The second method allows the CT wires to pass through the CT Inputs without terminating at the meter. In this case, remove the current gills and place the CT wire directly through the CT opening. The opening will accommodate up to 0.177" / 4.5 mm maximum diameter CT wire.
