Opening a Garo G26 enclosure

devilabit · 2014-01-25 11:20:14

I need access to the wiring inside a Garo G26 in order to attach a CT (current transformer) to meter my household electricity. It looks like the whole enclosure would detach from the mounting bracket but i would like to confirm this from someone who knows what they are talking about. Any pictures or manuals would also help…

Any pictures or manuals would also help if they can be provided? Do i need any tool/key in order to do this?

Loosen 4 plastic screws, turn off main switch and remove cover. It pulls straight off. Do not put your fingers into the mcb slots to remove cover. Pull cover from the sides.
Careful when fitting the ct as cable entering bottom of main switch is still live!

You may not have space for your CT within the enclosure.
Perhaps it would be more practical to install it elsewhere on the same cable?
