Part 2: Connect Line Voltage

Voltage Limit 277 Vac L-N!

  • To avoid eGauge meter damage do not exceed 277 Vac between Lx and N ports. Do not attempt to substitute the Neutral connection with a ground. Neutral connection is required when using the AC mains voltage connector.
 

 

Step 1: Install a two-pole (split-phase) or three-pole breaker (three-phase) in the distribution panel so that it will provide voltage access to all phases. Refer to the example wiring diagram relevant to your installation type for details.

Step 2: Open the breaker and properly de-energize the system to ensure there is no power on the breaker contacts.

Step 3: Connect voltage from the new breaker and Neutral to the included 5-pin Power Plug using THHN #12 stranded copper wire, or by using an appropriate Power Whip accessory as described below:

Service or panel voltage

eGauge Voltage port

Phase A up to 277 Vac L-N L1 AC mains connector
Phase B up to 277 Vac L-N L1 AC mains connector
Phase C up to 277 Vac L-N L1 AC mains connector
Neutral (required, do not sub ground)     N
DC 9-60 Vdc (optional)     2-pin DC voltage input
