Input Range
How To Determine Var Range:
Calibration Range [var] = Measuring Range ÷ ((VT Ratio) × (CT Ratio))
Check that the required calibration range is within the available range in the table. Specify this range when ordering.
[example]
3-phase / 3-wire, measuring range 75 kvar, VT 220 / 110 V, CT 250 / 5 A
75 × 103 [var] ÷ ((220 ÷ 110) × (250 ÷ 5)) = 750 [var]
