* The KM-NCT-E conforms to the standards shown above ONLY when it is used with a power monitor KM-N2-FLK or KM-N3-FLK to which it is attached. Use of the KM-NCT-E without a power monitor does not conform to these standards.

Wiring to KM-NCT-E[][][]A

• For wiring of the output terminal of CT, use AWG18-14 electric wire (with a cross-section of 0.75-2.0mm²) and Y-shape terminal compatible with the M3 screw.
• The recommended torque for screwing the M3 screws onto the output terminal is 0.3 N·m. Make sure the Y terminal is pushed all the way in and tightened firmly. After fixing the wiring, confirm that the wire is fixed securely.
• The guideline of the maximum wiring length between KM-N2-FLK or KM-N3-FLK and KM-NCT-E is as follows.
The longer the wire length, the larger the measurement error using the KM-NCT-E becomes.
• The limit of the wiring length can also be calculated by the following formula. Calculate the wiring length limit according to the conductor resistivity of the wiring and keep the wiring length below the limit.
• The limits of the wiring length shown below are for reference only. They do not guarantee proper use.

Wiring diameter	Guideline for wiring length limit
0.75 mm² (AWG18 equivalent)	15 m
2.0 mm² (AWG14 equivalent)	43 m

Wiring extension limit value (one-way) (m)= 0.475/conductor resistivity (Ω/m)

Note: Select a CT cable that does not exceed the rated load of 1 VA.
