4.1 Precautions for Wiring to
the Measurement Circuit
WARNING
• Before carrying out wiring, be sure to read through 3.3, Connecting Voltage
Probes, and 3.4, Connecting Clamp-on Probes.
• Do not apply an input exceeding the following value to the voltage input
terminals.
Maximum allowable input : 1000 V rms
For measurement category III : 600 V rms
• The maximum allowable input and maximum operating circuit voltage of the
clamp-on probes are as specified in the table below. Do not apply an input
exceeding the relevant value or use the CW240 at a circuit voltage
exceeding it.

WARNING
• If using an external VT (voltage transformer) or CT (current transformer), make
sure the transformer can sufficiently withstand the voltage to be measured.
• Be careful not to allow the secondary side of CT to become open-circuited
while the CT is being energized. Otherwise, a high voltage may develop on the
secondary side, posing extreme risks.
