However, the ampere-turns (At) unit is used to emphasis that current linkages are intended and applicable. ## **Transducer simplified model** The static model of the transducer at temperature _T_ A is: _I_ S = _G_ ⋅ _Θ_ P + _ε_ In which _ε_ = _I_ O E + _I_ O _T_ ( _T_ A) + _εG_ ⋅ _Θ_ P ⋅ _G_ + _ε_ L ( _Θ_ P max) ⋅ _Θ_ P max ⋅ _G_ + _TCG_ ⋅ ( _T_ A−25) ⋅ _Θ_ P ⋅ _G_ With: _Θ_ P = _N_ P ⋅ _I_ P : primary current linkage (At) _Θ_ P max : max primary current linkage applied to the transducer _I_ S : secondary current (A) _T_ A : ambient operating temperature (°C) _I_ O E : electrical offset current (A) _I_ O _T_ ( _T_ A) : temperature variation of _I_ O at temperature _T_ A (°C) _G_ : sensitivity of the transducer (V/At) _TCG_ : temperature coefficient of _G εG_ : sensitivity error _ε_ L( _Θ_ P max) : linearity error for _Θ_ P max ## **Magnetic offset** The magnetic offset current on the primary side (“memory effect” of the transducer’s _I_ O M is the consequence of a current ferromagnetic parts). It is measured using the following primary current cycle. _I_ O M depends on the current value _I_ P1 ( _I_ P1 > _I_ P M). **==> picture [177 x 141] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

Figure 26: Current cycle used to measure magnetic and electrical offset (transducer supplied) This model is valid for primary ampere-turns _Θ_ P between − _Θ_ P max and + _Θ_ P max only. ## **Sensitivity and linearity** To measure sensitivity and linearity, the primary current (DC) is cycled from 0 to _I_ P, then to − _I_ P and back to 0 (equally spaced _I_ P/10 steps). The sensitivity _G_ is defined as the slope of the linear regression line for a cycle between ± _I_ P N. The linearity error difference between the measured points and the linear _ε_ L is the maximum positive or negative regression line, expressed in % of _I_ P N.

Using the current cycle shown in figure 26, the electrical offset is: **==> picture [78 x 16] intentionally omitted <==** The temperature variation _V_ O _T_ of the electrical offset voltage _V_ O E is the variation of the electrical offset from 25 °C to the considered temperature: **==> picture [92 x 8] intentionally omitted <==** Note: the transducer has to be demagnetized prior to the application of the current cycle (for example with a demagnetization tunnel). ## **Overall accuracy** The overall accuracy at 25 °C _XG_ is the error in the − _I_ P N … + _I_ P N range, relative to the rated value _I_ P N. It includes: - ●the electrical offset _V_ O E - ●the sensitivity error _εG_ - ●the linearity error _ε_ L (to _I_ P N) ## **Response and reaction times** The response time _t_ r and the reaction time _t_ ra are shown in figure 28. Both depend on the primary current d _i /_ d _t_ . They are measured at nominal ampere-turns. **==> picture [171 x 120] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

The transducer power supply rejection ratio is low at high frequency. ## **Output** _V_ out The output _V_ out has a very low output impedance of typically 1 Ohm; it can drive capacitive loads of up to 100 nF directly. Adding series resistance R _f_ of several tenths of Ohms allows much larger capacitive loads Cf (higher than 1 µF). Empirical evaluation may be necessary to obtain optimum results. The minimum load resistance on _V_ out is 1 kOhm. Figure 29: filtered _V_ out connection ## **Total Primary Resistance** The primary resistance is 0.72 mΩ per conductor. In the following table, examples of primary resistance according to the number of primary turns. **==> picture [308 x 157] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

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.** ## **Definition of typical, minimum and maximum values** Minimum and maximum values for specified limiting and safety conditions have to be understood as such as well as values shown in “typical” graphs. On the other hand, measured values are part of a statistical distribution that can be specified by an interval with upper and lower limits and a probability for measured values to lie within this interval. Unless otherwise stated (e.g. “100 % tested”), the LEM definition for such intervals designated with “min” and “max” is that the probability for values of samples to lie in this interval is 99.73 %. For a normal (Gaussian) distribution, this corresponds to an interval between −3 sigma and +3 sigma. If “typical” values are not obviously mean or average values, those values are defined to delimit intervals with a probability of 68.27 %, corresponding to an interval between −sigma and +sigma for a normal distribution. Typical, maximal and minimal values are determined during the initial characterization of the product.
