Help,
I would like to install a CT on an electrical service and connect it to
a digital readout display (with a 5 amp input) 70 feet away using #14
gage wires. The CT would have a primary of 100 amps and a secondary of
5 amps (100:5). From what I have been reading is that I will not get a
correct readout at the display because of the distance of the wire.
My question is that if I use a CT that has an output of 4-20ma and a
digital readout with a 4-20ma input, Will I still get an incorrect
reading at the display do to the distance.
Thanks in Advance
Kevin
