Current transformer for measuring both direct and alternating currents
- For current measurement of non-sinusoidal and distorted (continuous) networks
- As current measuring transducer for direct input connection of PLC input cards
Applied technical standards:
DIN EN 50178, 1997
DIN EN 61010-1, 2002
VDE 0160
Electrical connections:
UH + 0 (Ground) IA
Spring-loaded terminal
Connection cross-sections: 0,08…2,5 mm²
Functions of the CCT 41.4 RMS:
- The magnetic field surrounding a current-carrying conductor is detected by a measuring core enclosing the conductor. The magnetic flux induced in the measuring core, which is directly proportional to the current in the primary conductor, is detected by means of a semiconductor component. Control electronics integrated in the device convert the signal supplied by the semiconductor into a DC output current signal proportional to the true RMS value of the measured variable. The calculation of the true RMS values is performed using the delta-sigma method.
- Due to the inductive, contactless detection of the measured variable, a galvanically isolated output signal is provided.
- The electrical contacting of the secondary circuit of the current transformer is carried out via a 4-pole spring-loaded terminal. This terminal is suitable for connecting flexible stranded wires up to 2.5 mm².
- A DC auxiliary voltage supply of 24 V DC is required to power the control electronics. The auxiliary voltage inputs must be protected by a 250 mA / 250 V / F fuse.
Advantages and benefits of the CCT 41.4 RMS:
- Measurement of both direct and alternating currents possible with only one current transformer.
- Accurate calculation of true RMS values of virtually any time course of the current to be measured.
- Wide operating frequency range from 0 Hz (DC) or 20 Hz…6 kHz (AC).
- High electrical safety due to galvanically isolated detection of the measured variable.
- Low power requirement (≤ 2.5 VA)
- Simple and safe electrical wiring using spring-loaded terminal technology.
- Direct mounting on busbars via fastening screws integrated in the device.
- Mounting on 35mm DIN rails possible using optionally available snap-on mounting.
- High climatic and mechanical resistance due to PU potting of all electrical components.
