Applications
●
VFD Controlled Loads
VFD output indicates how the
motor and attached load are
operating.
●
SCR Controlled Loads
Acurate measurement of phase
angle fired or burst fired (time
proportioned) SCRs. Current
measurement gives faster
response than temperature
measurement.
●
Switching Power Supplies and
Electronic Ballasts
True RMS sensing is the most
accurate way to measure power
supply or ballast input power.

Notes :
1)
The Max. Peak AC Current is the highest peak level of the primary
signal that is taken into account for accurate True RMS calculation. Yet
the device is designed for maximum continuous True RMS value equal to
I
PN
, whereas the output is limited by the above specified output limitation.
2)
According to the UL 508 Standard for Safety for Industrial Control
Equipment the primary current must not exceed 475 A.t.RMS through the
transducer hole and the supply voltage must not exceed 42VDC..

Safety and warning notes
In order to guarantee safe operation of the transducer and to be able to make proper use of all features and functions,
please read these instructions thoroughly!
Safe operation can only be guaranteed if the transducer is used for the purpose it has been designed for and within the
limits of the technical specifications.
Ensure you get up-to-date technical information that can be found in the latest associated datasheet under www.lem.com.
Caution! Risk of danger
Ignoring the warnings can lead to serious injury and/or cause damage!
The electric measuring transducer may only be installed and put into operation by qualified personnel
that have received an appropriate training.
The corresponding national regulations shall be observed during installation and operation of the
transducer and any electrical conductor.
The transducer shall be used in electric/electronic equipment with respect to applicable standards and
safety requirements and in accordance with all the related systems and components manufacturers’
operating instructions.
Caution! Risk of electrical shock
When operating the transducer, certain parts of the module may carry hazardous live voltage (e.g.
primary conductor, power supply).
The user shall ensure to take all measures necessary to protect against electrical shock.
The transducer is a built-in device containing conducting parts that shall not be accessible after
installation.
A protective enclosure or additional insulation barrier may be necessary.
The transducer shall not be put into operation if the jaw opening is open (split core version) or the
installation is not completed.
Installation and maintenance shall be done with the main power supply disconnected except if there
are no hazardous live parts in or in close proximity to the system and if the applicable national
regulations are fully observed.
Safe and trouble-free operation of this transducer can only be guaranteed if transport, storage and installation are carried
out correctly and operation and maintenance are carried out with care.
