Installing Voltage Transformers for
Three-Phase Service Greater Than 120V
Voltage transformers are required when metering services greater than 120V
to reduce the line-to-neutral voltage of the service to 120V. The accuracy
class should be 0.3% or better, with a burden rating of 30VA.
For applications in Canada, Measurement Canada approved voltage
transformers are required. Measurement Canada requires an accuracy class
of 0.3% or better, with a 150VA rating.
NOTE: Voltage transformer burden depends on the control power
source. If control power is provided separately (not derived from the
metered voltage), then lower transformer burden may be acceptable.
Contact your local Triacta representative for details.
Voltage transformers must be mounted in a listed electrical enclosure. Mount
the voltage transformer enclosure between the supply voltage and the
PowerHawk 6212, 6312 and 6412 meters. Transformer configuration must
be Y||Y (wye-wye).
Figure 5 shows a voltage transformer chassis in a three-phase 277/480V
installation . Figure 6 shows a block diagram of a complete three-phase 480V
installation.

Installation 01/2011
Installing the Reference Voltage and Power Cable in a 120V Application
The reference voltage (A, B, C, N) provides phase voltages for metering. The
configuration depends on the type of service being metered:
•single-phase with 1 CT
•single-phase with 2 CTs
•three-phase 3 CTs
The PowerHawk 6212, 6312 and 6412 meters are shipped from the factory
with an AC power block between the control power input and the reference
voltage inputs to provide control power to the unit. The following procedures
explain how to connect the reference voltage inputs for each of the service
types.
For a single-phase panel, use a 3-wire (red, black, white), 14 AWG
(1.63 mm
black, blue, white), 14 AWG (1.63 mm
2
), 90°C (194°F) cable. For a three-phase panel, use a 4-wire (red,
2
) cable. Metallic, flexible armored
cable (BX cable) is recommended for commercial installations as shown in
Figure 7 on page 13.
The PowerHawk 6212, 6312 and 6412 meters must be connected to the
reference voltage and control power through a properly rated disconnect that
disconnects all line and neutral wires, so it can be powered down. The
disconnect must be located within easy reach of the meter operator, and
must be labeled as such. Opening the disconnect or breaker is the
disconnect device. For multiple PowerHawk meter installations, the same
disconnect can be used to power all meters, and must be labeled for all
meters it supplies power to. The disconnect device must meet IEC 60947-1,
IEC 60947-3 and/or comply with the local electrical code.
To install the power cable in a 120/208V or 120/240V application:

Installing the Current TransformersThe three models of PowerHawk meter use current transformers (CTs) with
different secondary outputs. The PowerHawk 6212 meter uses split-core
0.333V CTs (see Figure 9), and the PowerHawk 6312 meter uses 80mA CTs
only (see Figure 10) and is typically used where accuracy is important and
long secondary CT wiring is required (up to 300 feet [91.44 meters]).
For instructions, see “Installing the CTs on the PowerHawk 6212 and
PowerHawk 6312” on page 16.
The PowerHawk 6412 uses 5A secondary CTs. For instructions, see
“Installing the 5A CTs on the PowerHawk 6412” on page 19.
Current transformers connect to the PowerHawk 6212 and PowerHawk 6312
meters through the 50-conductor CT cable provided with the meter. Table 2
describes the CT wire pairs and the cable color scheme for each meter point.
You can also find this information on the inside of the meter’s outer cover.
Each CT has an X1 (positive) and X2 (neutral) wire pair and uses butt-splice
connectors to attach the CT to a specific meter wire pair. The direction of the
energy flow is indicated on the CT.
