External current transformer for N conductor
The external current transformer for N conductor is a current transformer for 3-pole 3VA6
molded case circuit breakers with ETUs 5-series and 8-series. It is used when 3-pole circuit
breakers are to be used in 4-wire systems but monitoring of the N conductor is still desired.
The N conductor is thereby protected against short-circuit and overload.
