Specifications
- 5-pin power plug (heat shrinking around wire terminations)
- 4x 8' segments of THHN #12 wire (NEC color coded for US voltage)
- THHN #12 stranded copper wire
- 208V Coloring scheme:
208V Color Connection White Neutral Black L1 Red L2 Blue L3 - 277V Coloring scheme:
277V Color Connection White Neutral Yellow L1 Orange L2 Brown L3 - 240V or 208V single-phase coloring scheme:
Single-phase Color Connection White Neutral Black L1 Red L2 Blue [REMOVED]
Assembly/installation information
The 5-pin power plug is connected to the 4 segments of wire with heat shrinking at the base. Trim the wire segments to length and connect the appropriate colors to the correct breaker and neutral connections. Insert the 5-pin power plug to eGauge when complete.
If the 208V whip is used on a single-phase 208V or 240V system, the blue wire (L3) should be removed from the whip assembly.

Twisted Pair Wire
Visit the online store page
18ga black and white twisted pair wire for extending CT leads or other signal wiring. Twisted pair wire is 18 AWG rated at 600V. Wire is sold without connectors or other hardware.
CTs may also be extended without splices or soldering using the eGauge Sensorhub as a CT extension kit.
If extending CTs, do not use wire nuts to connect extensions. Wire nuts will degrade and interfere with the low-voltage CT signals.

Specifications
- 18 AWG
- 600V rated
- UL Style 1015
- 105C rated
Hardware included
- Twisted pair wire (available in 100, 250, and 500 foot spools)
Assembly/installation information
For extending CT leads:
- Ensure black/white wires are connected consistently
- Remove the existing 2 pin CT plug from the CT lead.
- Splice in the required length of twisted pair wire. Soldering the splices is recommended (butt splice connectors are a secondary option).
- Reattach the 2 pin CT plug. Ensure the polarity on the plug is correct.

| eGauge 5-pin Power Plug |
Hardware included
- 5-pin power plug
Assembly/installation information
- Follow all warning and safety procedures when operating with high voltage.
- Do not apply greater than 277Vac between any line and neutral terminal, and greater than 480Vac between any line and line terminal.
- Do not attempt to power eGauge meters without an appropriate neutral terminal connection.
- Pay attention to correct terminals; switching line inputs or neutral connections can result in damage.
Connect appropriate voltage measurements to the screw terminals and tighten securely. Do not connect anything to the "Unused" terminal. If wiring a single-phase system, leave the L3 terminal unused.
Suggested torque for the 5-pin power plug is 5 in.-lb.
Weight: 9 grams
Test Power Cable
Visit the online store page
SKU: TPC-DC
- Powering the meter when monitoring a 480V delta or other high-voltage system that utilizes the EV1000 voltage sensors for voltage measurements.
- Easily powering the meter from a standard wall outlet, for the use of programming the meter before installation or downloading data after removed from an installation.
- Powering the meter if there are no AC power calculations and AC voltage connections are not needed.
When measuring AC power, the AC voltage inputs must be utilized, power cannot be calculated otherwise. The Test Power Cable may be used to power an eGauge while it is measuring high voltage, but the AC inputs (L1/L2/L3/N) must be connected to the system being monitored.
