Current Transformers
WattNode meters use current transformers (CTs) with built-in burden resistors generating
0.33333 Vac at rated AC current. The maximum input current rating is dependent on the CT frame
size (see the tables below). Exceeding the maximum input current rating may damage CTs, but
should not harm the meter.
None of these CTs measure DC current and the accuracy can be degraded in the presence of DC
currents, as from half-wave rectified loads.
WattNode meters should only be used with UL Recognized or UL Listed current transformers,
which are available from Continental Control Systems. Using non-approved CTs will invalidate the
meter UL listing. For full CT specifications, see the Continental Control Systems website.
