This mixed system has an insulated piping with corrosion 
protection potential and an uninsulated metal pipe (L = ¼ × DN 
sensor) with functional ground potential upstream and 
downstream of the sensor. 
Figure 40 shows the preferred installation for cathodic corrosion 
protection. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Power supply 
 
 
Note 
•  Adhere to the limit values of the power supply in accordance 
with the information on the name plate. 
•  Observe the voltage drop for large cable lengths and small 
conductor cross-sections. The voltage at the terminals of the 
device may not down-scale the minimum value required in 
accordance with the information on the name plate. 
 
The power supply is connected to terminal L (phase), N (zero), or 
1+, 2−, and PE. 
A circuit breaker with a maximum rated current of 16 A must be 
installed in the power supply line. 
The wire cross-sectional area of the power supply cable and the 
circuit breaker used must comply with VDE 0100 and must be 
dimensioned in accordance with the current consumption of the 
flowmeter measuring system. The cables must comply with 
IEC 227 and/or IEC 245. 
The circuit breaker must be located near the device and marked 
as being associated with the device. 
Connect the transmitter and sensor to functional earth.
