To enter the Setup dialog, select the device site from the list
box on the PAS toolbar, and then select General Setup from
the Meter Setup menu.
The following table lists available device configuration options.
Parameter Options Default Description
Basic Configuration
Wiring mode See Table below 4LN3 The wiring connection of the device
PT ratio
1
1.0-6500.0 1.0 The phase potential transformer’s
primary to secondary ratio
PT Ratio multiplier ×1, ×10 ×1 PT Ratio multiplication factor. Used in
extra high voltage networks to
accommodate the PT ratio for 500 kV
and higher networks.
CT primary current 1-20000 A 5 A The primary rating of the phase
current transformer
Nominal voltage 10-690 V 120 V The nominal secondary line-to-neutral
(in configurations with a neutral wire)
or line-to-line voltage (in 3OP2, 3OP3
and 3DIR). Used as a reference
voltage for the IEEE 1159 Power
Quality recorder.
Maximum demand
load current
0-20000 A 0 The maximum demand load current
(0 = CT primary)
