PZEM-061 AC Panel Meter Wiring

How to wire up a Peacefair PZEM-061 AC panel meter.

There are two pair of wires to connect the panel meter to your load. First you want to be sure and connect the two wires from the current transformer (CT) to the marked terminals on the back of the meter. This way you are sure they are connected to avoid damage to the meter or CT. You'll then run one of the load wires through the CT to sense the current in that wire.

The other two terminals are connected to the live and neutral wires powering the load. Note that you are wiring the panel meter in parallel to the load, not in series. The two wires are simply there to sense the voltage going to the load as well as provide a small amount of power to operate the meter.

And that's it, the meter will now sense voltage and current flowing into the load. There's no polarity on either the CT or voltage wires, just make sure to get those wires connected to the proper terminals.

The meter seems to read fairly accurate current, 0.34 amps by the meter and 0.344 amps by my clamp on ammeter.
