Startup Guide
Below is a wiring example of a circuit used to measure the efficiency of an inverter using the
WT230 Digital Power Meter (760503, three-phase, four-wire model). To compute the
efficiency on the WT230 (760503, three-phase, four-wire model) when the primary side of
the inverter is a single-phase, two-wire system and the secondary side is a three-phase,
three-wire system, wiring must be furnished to input elements 1 and 3 using a three-phase,
three-wire system.

W2: Active power measured by input element 2 of the WT230
W1: Active power measured by input element 1 of the WT230
W3: Active power measured by input element 3 of the WT230
Wiring: Single-phase, two-wire
Wiring: Three-phase, three-wire
Installing the WT230
