*Balanced Load
A 240V load is considered balanced when it connects to “Line1” and “Line2” of a 120V/240V
panel but has no connection to the panel “Neutral”. With this type of load, the current flowing
through “Line1” is identical to that flowing through “Line2” giving it the term “balanced”. Rather
than using two CTs to sense the exact same current twice, one CT is used and the GEM is
configured with the “Multiplier” setting to double its signal. This is the same as having two CTs
on a balanced load.
The “Channel CT” menu section (Figure 9) is used to configure each GEM channel to match the current
transformers (CT) connected to each channel.
