normal operation when autoreset system is running 

2) All ppm figures refer to full-scale which corresponds to a secondary nominal RMS current of 1 A.

## **Overload protection - Electrical specification - Status** 

The overload occurs when the primary current _I_ P exceeds a trip level such that the fluxgate detector becomes completely saturated and, consequently, the transducer will switch from normal operation to overload mode. 

This trip level is guaranteed to be greater than _I_ P M and its actual value depends on operating conditions such as temperature and measuring resistance. 

When this happens, the transducer will automatically begin to sweep in order to lock on the primary current again. 

The overload conditions will be: 

- ●The secondary current _I_ S generated is a low frequency signal. 

- ●The signal normal operation status (between pin 3 and 8 of the D-sub connector) switches to V+. In other words, the output transistor is switched off (i.e., no current from collector to emitter). See the status port wiring below. 

- ●The green LED indicator (normal operation status) turns off. 

The measuring can resume when the primary current returns in the measuring range between − _I_ P N and + _I_ P N. Then the signal normal operation status switches to GND and the green LED indicator (normal operation status) is again lit.

## **Power supply and load** 

In order to reach the measuring range according to the maximum measuring resistor, be careful with the setup measurement when wires length are high. It means that: 

- ●the wires resistance could be not negligible 

- ●the voltage at the output of the DC power supply and the voltage at the transducer could be significantly different.

_R_ W wire resistance in Ω is: 

ℓ _R_ W = ρ S 

S: Cross section of wire in m[2 ] ℓ: Wire length in m ρ: Resistivity of material in Ω.m 

## **Total measuring resistance is:** 

_R_ M = _R_ L + 2 × _R_ W1 + 2 × _R_ W2 

If _R_ W1 = _R_ W2 = _R_ WIRE then _R_ M = _R_ L + 4 × _R_ WIRE

## **Performance parameters definition** 

The schematic used to measure all electrical parameters is shown below: 

## **Linearity** 

To measure linearity, the primary current (DC) is cycled from 0 to the maximum positive or negative difference between the _I_ P M, then to − _I_ P M and back to 0. The linearity error _ε_ L is measured points and the linear regression line, expressed in parts per million (ppm) of full-scale which corresponds to the maximum measured value. 

## **Electrical offset** 

## **Transducer simplified model** 

The static model of the transducer at temperature _T_ A is: 

The electrical offset current _I_ O E is the residual output current when the input current is zero. 

The temperature variation _I_ O _T_ of the electrical offset current _I_ O E is the variation of the electrical offset from 25 °C to the considered temperature. 

## **Delay times** 

In which 

**==> picture [62 x 11] intentionally omitted <==**

The delay time respect to the primary are shown in the next figure. _t_ D 10 @ 10 % and the delay time _t_ D 90 @ 90 % with Both slightly depend on the primary current d _i_ /d _t_ . They are measured at nominal current.

This is the absolute maximum error. As all errors are independent, a more realistic way to calculate the error would be to use the following formula:

## **Safety** 

This transducer must be used in limited-energy secondary circuits according to IEC 61010-1. 

This transducer must be used in electric/electronic equipment with respect to applicable standards and safety requirements in accordance with the manufacturer’s operating instructions. 

Caution, risk of electrical shock 

When operating the transducer, certain parts of the module can carry hazardous voltage (e.g. primary busbar, power supply). Ignoring this warning can lead to injury and/or cause serious damage. 

This transducer is a build-in device, whose conducting parts must be inaccessible after installation. 

A protective housing or additional shield could be used. Main supply must be able to be disconnected. 

## **Remark** 

Installation of the transducer must be done unless otherwise specified on the datasheet, according to LEM Transducer Generic Mounting Rules. Please refer to LEM document N°ANE120504 available on our Web site: **Products/Product Documentation.**
