Removing Split Core CT's

[Mark.W]

Hi peeps,

I need to remove some split core CT's from a school's Main Tails. The installers never used a shorting block but did earth the secondaries in the meter. I have tried unclipping the CT's but the magnets aren't releasing.

Can one of you kind people please advise me as to how I can get them off. Turning the supply off is not an option at this time.

I must add that this is an unofficial export meter that was installed a solar panel company.

Regards
Mark
