Circuit Protection
The EM530 is considered a continuously connected device, so it requires
an overcurrent protective device against current beyond the acceptable
rating of the equipment.

through a devoted breaker
CT clamps

Communication Line
There must be a wired communication line between the meter
and the charger. For this purpose, use STP Class 5E 1600 feet/500
meter Max Length.
1. Ensure that the power is o before proceeding
with the connection.
• Use circuit breakers or fuses rated 20 Amps or less.
• The circuit breaker must protect L1 and L2, all the active phases.
• The circuit protection must comply with local standards.
• In case there is no free space on the panel, the power meter can
be installed in an external enclosure.
