Power Connection
The 6000 instrument is designed to operate with a three-conductor power cord. The
third conductor is securely connected to ground to ensure the external chassis of the
instrument remains at ground potential.
Warning:
Operation with a two-conductor power cord, or without a secure ground
connection may render the Phase Angle Voltmeter instrument unsafe for use.
