Connections
Signal wiring is to Terminals 21 to 51. These terminals accommodate wires sizes up to 12
gauge. Please note that the maximum torque that can be applied to terminals 21 to 51 is 0.5
Nm (or 4.4 in ·lb.). CT, VT, and control power connections are made using Terminals 1 to 20.
These #8 screw ring terminals accept wire sizes as large as 8 gauge. Consult the wiring
diagrams for suggested wiring. A minimal configuration includes connections for control
power, phase CTs/VTs, and the alarm relay; other features can be wired as required.
Considerations for wiring each feature are given in the sections that follow.
