CVM-NRG96 FAQ’s The CVM-NRG96 analyzer, once cabled and connected is seen to give a correct voltage and current reading, but shows negative values for active power (generation). This is an error with the cabling for the current transformer secondaries; the direction of the transformer current has to be respected as shown in the connection diagram.
