Isolate any accessible un-insulated conductors during installation. ClipCTs to all appropriate cables/conductors with all arrows facing the load.All transducers including voltage reference inputs (if used) should befitted and connected to e-Tracker before e-Tracker is switched on.

Installation and set up

Practical and accurate connection options for single and 3 phase use:

Follow standardsafety procedure

For single phase use CT1 and 13A plug

Use e-Tracker with its fused voltage clipsfor maximum accuracy on all parameters

3Ø direct voltage measurement

The set of colour coded fused voltage crocodileclips must be securely attached to pick up thephase voltages with the colours matching theattached CTs.

Red/Brown = Line 1

Yellow/Black = Line 2

Blue/Grey = Line 3

No neutral connection is required although e-Trackercan be earthed Green/Yellow lead. Direct voltageconnection ensures high accuracy recording.

EV-Trac 3 phase volt reference conversion from a single phase socket outlet

3Ø EV-Trac voltage pickup

e-Tracker’s internal 1Ø- 3Ø converter is automaticallyapplied when three CTs are connected to cables withvoltage reference taken from a 1Ø source all suppliedfrom the same distribution transformer.

(The CTs require sufficient primary current to be able todetect zero crossover see diagram 7 on page 9)

Should automatic identification fail the EV-Tracelectrostatic probe may be used. Please note this canonly be effective on un-armoured phase cables.

e-Tracker calculates the three equivalent Line-Linevoltage vectors and assigns them to the correctphases.

EV-Trac offers a safe alternative when direct voltageconnection is not practical, kW/kWh accuracy is goodparticularly when phase voltage amplitudes are similar.
