CT Installation Guide 1

CT Installation Guide A CT is connected to a inverter to detect the output current of the inverter and therefore to assist the control of the inveter''s export power to grid.

Connecting a CT Cable

Connect the cord end terminals that you have prepared to the corresponding ports on the CT terminal. Insert the connected communications terminal into the CT terminal holder on the inverter, and loosen

4 Frequently Asked Questions about "How to connect the CT line of solar inverter"

How do I use a CT meter for a solar inverter?

Plug the CT measuring L2 (Phase B) into the CT2 or CT3 port on the meter. Clamp the CTs around the L1 and L2 conductors where Site is being measured. For Tesla Solar Inverter with Site Controller (1538000-45-y), the Solar CT is factory-installed and this step can be skipped. Plug the CT into a port on the meter.

How do I use a solar meter?

Plug the CT into a port on the meter. Clamp the CT around the appropriate Solar Inverter conductor based on the port it is plugged in to. Only one CT is required to measure Solar because total power output is calculated by the software.

How do you clamp a single phase inverter?

For single phase inverters the CT clamp tails should be connected to pin 3 and pin 4 in the inverter. With the white tail in pin 3 and the black tail in pin 4. The clamp should be clipped onto the live tail coming from the property meter and the arrow should be pointing towards the inverter.

Do I need a CT clamp for a string inverter?

When the inverter is set up as a string inverter and no export limitation is in place using a CT clamp is optional. With no CT you can set the inverter to 'Selling-First' this will use the PV to cover the property load and then export any excess to the grid. Without a CT you will only see the generated PV values recorded.
