White dot on Current Transformers

[yukonjack_99674]

Which direction does the white dot go on a CT; TOWARDS the line side or TOWARDS the load side?? The application is for power consumption (meter). I believe I have "Hooked it up" backwards, since it doesn't work. My next life I am coming back as a plumber.
Thanks

Dot should be on the left. The installed conductor should be arranged to go "in" the white dot side, and "out" the non white dot side. The secnodary will work the same way, then.

Yukon you can reverse the output leads to achieve correct polarity, utility may not accept this, but it will show you if it is more than polarity. Search the meter model on line to get proper wiring diagram.

Thank you, I will try this with the polarity thing and if it doesn't work, I now know how to install them, Thanks guys

What's most important is that they are all wired identically.

Larry not if your goal is to keep your electric bill down.
