About Voltage Taps and Current Transformer Connections
The Tesla Remote Energy
Meter functions
by measuring voltage (by voltage tap) and current (by Current
Transformer, or CT) at key locations in the system. For the meter to
function correctly, the following are critical:
- The Tesla Remote Energy
Meter
voltage line harness leads must be connected to the
correct phases.NoteRegardless of the grid type the system is connected to, Tesla Remote Energy Meter must always be connected to L1 and N. If the meter is connected to L2 and/or L3, but not L1, it will not be powered.
- The CTs must be placed around conductors of the correct
phase:
- CT1 = L1
- CT2 = L2
- CT3 = L2
Install the Tesla Remote Energy Meter and CTs describes how to perform these steps correctly, but the following diagrams illustrate some high level correct and incorrect meter / CT installations.
