Data record `tests.power-quality-and-harmonic-survey.ieee1159.ct-practice`

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

IEEE 1159-2019 names four common errors with clamp-on current transformers, a conductor off center in the jaw, split core ends that do not mate, the wrong conductors enclosed, and reversed polarity, and asks that the transformer be sized to the expected current and connected to the instrument before it is clamped on.
