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.
