ISKRAEMECO MT 174 5A CT METER INSTALLATION
Meter Installation:
DANGER !
Note that this work should be only carried out by suitably qualified and trained
personnel.
The meter circuit should be isolated while making changes to the wiring.

Note that in the case of equipment that generates energy, the “supply” side is usually
connected to the generator and the “load” side to the mains. For an “export” meter the
same applies.
If in doubt: ASK for advice.

ISKRAEMECO MT 174 5A CT METER INSTALLATION
Installation Checks:
Supply Voltages:
Check the L1, L2, L3, indicators on the meter display – these should all be on.
Missing indicators show a phase voltage missing. Check supply and reference
voltage fuses.
Flashing indicators show incorrect phase rotation – two pairs of phase voltage cables
must be swapped, e.g. exchange the L1 (both in & out cables) with the L2 (both in &
out cables).
Currents and Energy Direction:– How to check each phase separately IF IN DOUBT: ASK
To perform this test a load must be drawing current from the supply so that the meter
is operating.
Isolate 2 phases (normally by removing the relevant voltage reference fuses). Isolate
and short out the remaining 2 CTs CAUTION: Always ensure that CTs are shorted
or dangerous voltages can be present on CT cables
Only keep the CT on the phase circuit to be checked. You are now working with one
phase voltage only – check that the P arrow indicators on the meter display show P+
If there is no arrow and energy flow (Kw) is not present, either the installation is not
under load OR the CT being checked is not installed onto the relevant phase cable.
Once checked, isolate this phase and CT and repeat this test for the other phases
checking for P+.
If P- is showing instead of P+ the CT is the wrong way around the supply cable. P1
should be on the supply side (or direction of current flow side) of the cable. OR S1
and S2 are connected the wrong way on the meter terminals.
Finally, re-connect all supplies and check all CTs are correctly terminated. As a final
check display the reverse (export) reading on the meter by accessing the additional
displays using the blue button as shown above. Make a note of the reading then
check a few minutes (or hours) later – the value should not increase.
Note that some loads result in energy flow in two directions – e.g. a grid connected
wind turbine will draw a small current for its control circuitry in the reverse direction
when not generating.
Meter LEDS:
Once powered up and in operation you can check the operation by observing the LEDs on the
front of the meter:
LED operation:
OFF = No voltage to meter
ON = Voltage OK No current flowing through the meter
BLINKING = Energy registered by meter (proportional to load being measured)

Instructions for installation:
Note: The system should not be energised whilst installing
Check the meter CT ratio setting corresponds to the CTs supplied.
Ensure all CTs are the same current ratio (e.g. all 100/5A).
Open clip and fit the CT around the cable to be monitored. Follow the arrow on the side of the
CT for installation direction.
Ensure all CTs are installed the same way.
Ensure the CT is fully closed and the clip is secure.
Make the ‘S1’ (white) & ‘S2’ (black) connections to the meter.
Ensure that the relevant CT is terminated for each relevant phase (i.e. L1 phase = CT1 etc).
Ensure all connections are tight and energise the meter.
Carry out the tests as described above.
