Application example 
Example 1: 
Rated motor current: 700 A. 
A 3UF18 68-3G current transformer (205 to 820 A) is used as interposing transformer 
(transformation ratio 820 : 1), the secondary side is looped once through a current 
measuring module (0.3 A to 3 A): 
Transformation ratio for I
s
 = 820 : 1; I
s
 = 700 A 
Settings (primary and secondary) 
●  Set current I

Rated motor current: 225 A. 
A 3UF1868-3G current transformer (205 to 820 A) is used as interposing transformer 
(transformation ratio 820 : 1), the secondary side is looped twice through a current 
measuring module (0.3 A to 3 A): 
Transformation ratio for I
s
 = 820 : 2; I
s
 = 225 A

The motor cable is looped twice through a current measuring module (0.3 to 3 A, for a motor 
with a rated current of 0.25 A): 
Transformation ratio for I
s
 = 1 : 2; I
s
 = 0.25 A
