A Current Transformer Is Required For Automatic Control

In order to have automatic control, a current transformer must be ordered in
addition to the PFC bank.
A current transformer (not included) is necessary to provide accurate
network information to the VarSets controller in order to apply the correct
quantity of kVAR at any given time. It is recommended to choose a Split Core
Current Transformer Model 270R from the following list of options.
Note: CT must be sized to your network and have a secondary rating of 5A.
More details on the CT can be found in document 4210CT9701.
