CT (Current Transformer) Meters are installed on any connections with a load greater than 100 Amps.
Conventional meters cannot be used to measure current for these larger connections as they would
simply have to be too large to be practicable. A CT meter only measures a fraction of the current passing
through the connection and a multiplier is applied to this reading to reflect the actual current.
