# Quiz — CT, Meter & Zero Export: 10 Questions with Answers

> 10 multiple-choice questions on CT and zero export: placement, arrow direction, ratio settings, lead extension rules, and zero-export configuration.

Ten questions from the [CT, Meter & Zero Export](/ct-meter/ct-basics) group. Work through all ten before scrolling to the key. Suggested pass mark: **8 / 10**. Each miss points to a source page — re-read it, not the whole group.

## Questions

**1.** The universal CT placement rule on both Kent platforms is: clamp the CT around the:

* A. Grid main live conductor only — arrow pointing toward the grid
* B. Backup feed conductor — arrow pointing toward the loads
* C. Live and neutral together — arrow in either direction
* D. Earth conductor at the incomer

***

**2.** If you install a CT with the arrow pointing toward the loads instead of toward the grid, the most likely symptom is:

* A. The system shuts down immediately
* B. Erratic power readings with sustained or fluctuating export even under stable load conditions
* C. The battery stops charging
* D. E100 appears on the Kent M1

***

**3.** Clamping the CT around both live and neutral conductors together results in:

* A. Double the correct reading — a 2× calibration error
* B. A reading of 0 W — the equal and opposite currents cancel
* C. A negative power reading
* D. An overcurrent fault on the inverter

***

**4.** The CT ratio setting in the inverter must be taken from:

* A. The platform's factory default — it is pre-configured for the shipped CT
* B. The DISCOM's standard CT ratio table for the region
* C. The nameplate of the specific CT shipped with the system — read it and set exactly that
* D. The meter's LCD display

***

**5.** On both Kent platforms, extending the CT signal lead with additional cable is:

* A. Acceptable up to 10 m using shielded twisted-pair cable
* B. Acceptable using any matching cable up to 5 m
* C. Not permitted — if the lead does not reach, use the platform's meter scheme instead
* D. Acceptable if the cable resistance is below 2 Ω

***

**6.** On the Kent M1, when zero export is required, the Solar Sell setting must be:

* A. ON, with Max Sell Power set to 0 W
* B. OFF — and the zero-export witness test against the utility meter is mandatory before sign-off
* C. Removed by deleting the CT entry
* D. Set to the DISCOM's published limit automatically

***

**7.** On the Kent G3 site with no feed-in permission, zero export is set by:

* A. Setting Max Export Power to 0 in the grid settings
* B. Setting Allow Export to maximum — the CT limits it physically
* C. Leaving the export settings at factory default
* D. Changing the grid code to a no-export variant

***

**8.** What does a short spike of export during a large load switch-off tell you about the zero-export setup?

* A. The CT direction is reversed
* B. The export limit value needs halving
* C. Spikes on load switching are physics — they are not evidence of a zero-export failure; sustained export is the failure mode to investigate
* D. The meter RS485 address is wrong

***

**9.** The Kent M1 E106 fault code relates to:

* A. Battery undervoltage
* B. CT abnormal — check CT installation, direction, and connection
* C. Grid overvoltage
* D. Fan failure

***

**10.** Zero-export control via the CT and inverter cannot control:

* A. The battery discharge rate
* B. The PV output on the Kent M1
* C. Third-party grid-tied (GT) inverters on the same supply — they are invisible to the Kent system
* D. The backup loads during an outage

| Q  | Answer | Why                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| -- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1  | **A**  | CT on the grid main live conductor, arrow toward the grid. This applies to both Kent M1 and G3. Installing on a sub-circuit or with the arrow reversed both produce incorrect control. |
| 2  | **B**  | A reversed CT causes erratic or persistently wrong power readings. The control loop chases the wrong signal, producing fluctuating display values and potential sustained export.      |
| 3  | **B**  | Clamping around both L and N means equal and opposite currents cancel — the CT reads 0 W. The inverter sees no load and cannot control export.                                         |
| 4  | **C**  | Always read the nameplate of the shipped CT and set that exact ratio. Never assume a default — the shipped CT ratio is confirmed on the nameplate only.                                |
| 5  | **C**  | CT signal lead extensions are not permitted on either platform. If the lead cannot reach the grid connection point, use the platform's smart meter scheme instead.                     |
| 6  | **B**  | On the Kent M1, Solar Sell OFF is the zero-export setting. The witness test against the utility meter is mandatory before the job is signed off.                                       |
| 7  | **A**  | On the Kent G3, set Max Export Power to 0 in the grid settings. This is the correct zero-export configuration for a no-feed-in site.                                                   |
| 8  | **C**  | Brief spikes on large load transitions are a physics effect — the inverter cannot respond in zero time. Sustained export is the indicator of a real zero-export failure.               |
| 9  | **B**  | E106 on the Kent M1 is a CT abnormal fault. Check the CT installation, direction, connection, and ratio setting.                                                                       |
| 10 | **C**  | The Kent zero-export control loop only controls the Kent inverter's own output. Third-party GT inverters on the same supply are invisible and will export independently.               |
