We have been asked by a couple of utilities to develop
an adapter to convert Form 2K installations to Form
3S. The picture attached shows the prototype. It is
very accurate and as easy to install as a 2K meter.
The next step for us is to develop tooling for the base,
bus bars and miscellaneous parts necessary to
create a professional looking product. If dictated by
the market, we are prepared to make the investment.
.
The Sentry 2K/3S is rated for a full 400 amps. The
current transformer installed in the base has a ratio of
400:5 with a rating factor of 1.2. It installs exactly the
same as a 2K meter. The adapter is designed to
become a permanent part of the meter socket.
The Sentry 2K/3S converts the installation from a 2K to
a Form 3S meter, 240 volts, class 10 or 20. The final
accuracy will have a maximum deviation from the
installed meter of less than 0.15%. A CT shorting
plunger is installed across the jaws to accommodate
shorting of the CT when the meter is removed.
