Important Information
-
Each Smart Energy Monitor requires two spaces in an electrical breaker panel.
-
All wiring in the United States must be installed in accordance with the latest adopted edition of the National Electrical Code
(ANSI/NFPA 70, NEC) -
All wiring in Canada must be installed in accordance with the latest adopted edition of the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C222.2 CEC, Part 1) and any provincial or local requirements.
-
Use only Savant-approved current transformers. A list of supported transformers is available in the Accessories section on the previous page.
-
The largest current transformer offered by Savant supports wire up to a 750 kcmil conductor (with the jacket just under 1 inch in diameter).
Installation into Breaker Panel
- Remove power from the breaker panel by switching off the panel’s main breaker.
- Position and install the Smart Energy Monitor Module into the slots where it will be installed. Press firmly until fully seated onto the appropriate bus bars.
- The next few sections describe how to install and wire a current transformer to the Smart Energy Monitor module.
Install the Current Transformer
The GPM-H2SEM module supports connecting up to two Savantapproved current transformers. See the approved list on the previous page. Instructions on wiring and renting the current transformer are explained below.
-
Toggle the electrical panel’s main breaker Off to remove power from the panel.
-
Remove the panel’s front cover and set it aside. Verify that power is removed from the circuit breakers using a voltage tester.
-
Separate the current transformer by squeezing the knurled panel and pulling/rotating the top open.
-
Place the current transformers around each of the conductors being monitored.
– Orient the current transformer so the arrow in the middle points towards the source i.e., breaker or utility meter. -
Close the current transformer around the conductor. For added security, wrap a cable tie around the CT or run the tie through the loop on the front.
-
Route the twisted black and white wires around the breaker panel back to the Smart Energy Monitor module. Route the wires so they don’t directly come in contact with a live bus bar or terminal.
-
Observing polarity, insert the wires into the supplied 4-pin connector and secure by turning screws clockwise. See the Making Connections section in this document for information on attaching wires to the connector.
HELPFUL: A negative current will be measured if the wires are reversed or the current transformer is installed backward.
- Repeat steps 3-7 to install a second current transformer if needed.
- Ensure the 4-pin connector is fully seated into the SEM module and tighten the screws to .18 ft-lb (.25 N-m) max.
- Toggle the main breaker back to the On position and re-apply power to the electrical panel. The Current Transformer and Smart Energy Monitor module are ready to monitor the power consumed by the circuit the CT is monitoring.
Making Connections
-
Remove power if power is applied.
-
Pull to remove the terminal block from the Smart Energy Monitor’s rear panel.
-
With a small flat-bladed screwdriver, turn the screws on the top of the connector counterclockwise until the silver crimps on the front of the connector open enough to lide the wire into the square slot.
-
Strip back the insulation of each wire to 1/4 inch (6.5 mm). Insert the stripped wire into the proper port. Do not allow more than 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) of bare wire exposed. See image.
-
Turn the screws clockwise until the silver crimps tighten around the wire. Tug on the wire a bit to verify the wire is installed securely.
-
Continue until all wires are installed.
-
Plug the terminal block into the appropriate port on the Smart Energy Monitor.
-
Repeat steps 2-7 for all wires from the current transformer.
-
Reapply power.
