only phase conductors through the sensor window as  
shown in Fig. 1. If a shield, ground, or ground-check  
conductor enters the sensor window, it must be returned  
through the window before it is terminated. Connect the  
current sensor to terminals 16 and 17. Ground terminal

are not polarity sensitive. See Section 4.7.  
 
NOTE: SE-CS10-series current sensors are 600-V-rated  
current transformers. When system voltage is above  
600 V, ensure conductors passed through the sensor  
window are insulated to system voltage.

8.4 SE-TA6A-SERIES TERMINATION ASSEMBLY TESTS

  Apply 15 Vdc across the series combination of a
100-Ω, 5-W current-limiting resistor and the termination
assembly, as shown in Fig. 17. In the reverse biased test,
the voltage should be 5.6 V across the termination
assembly terminals. In the forward biased test, the
voltage across the termination assembly terminals should
be between 0.3 and 0.9 V.
 
8.5 GROUND-FAULT PERFORMANCE TEST
  To meet the requirements of the National Electrical
Code (NEC), as applicable, the overall ground-fault
protection system requires a performance test when first
installed. A written record of the performance test is to be
retained by those in charge of the electrical installation in
order to make it available to the authority having
jurisdiction. A test-record form is provided for recording
the date and the final results of the performance tests.
The following ground-fault system tests are to be
conducted by qualified personnel:
a) Evaluate the interconnected system in accordance with
the overall equipment manufacturer’s detailed
instructions.
b) Verify proper location of the ground-fault current
sensor. Ensure the cables pass through the ground-
fault-current-sensor window. This check can be done
visually with knowledge of the circuit. The
connection of the current-sensor secondary to the SE-
134C is not polarity sensitive.
c) Verify that the system is correctly grounded and that
alternate ground paths do not exist that bypass the
current sensor. High-voltage testers and resistance
bridges can be used to determine the existence of
alternate ground paths.
d) Verify proper reaction of the circuit-interrupting
device in response to a simulated or controlled
ground-fault current. To simulate ground-fault
current, use CT-primary current injection. Fig. 14
shows a test circuit using Littelfuse Startco Ground- Retain this record for the authority having jurisdiction.
