Requirements for an interposing current transformer 
●  Secondary current: 1 A 
●  Frequency: 50 Hz/60 Hz 
●  Transformer rating: Recommended ≥ 2.5 VA, depending on the secondary current and 
cable length 
●  Overcurrent factor: 5P10 or 10P10 
●  Accuracy class: 1 
Example 1 
●  3UF1868-3GA00 current transformer: 
–  Primary current: 820 A at nominal load 
–  Secondary current: 1 A 
●  SIMOCODE pro with 3UF7100-1AA00-0 current measuring module, current setting 
0.3 A to 3 A. This means: 
–  The secondary current of the current transformer is 1 A at rated load and is, therefore, 
within the 0.3 to 3 A setting range of the current measuring module used 
–  The current setting I
s
 to be parameterized in SIMOCODE pro is 1 A.
