En 61869-2 Today

Always specify CTs by referencing EN 61869-2 including accuracy class, rated burden, ALF (for protection), and FS (for metering). Avoid relying on superseded 60044-1 standards for new equipment. Report prepared for technical and compliance use. Always refer to the official standard text for full legal and design requirements.
