## **Conditions of acceptability** 

When installed in the end-use equipment, consideration shall be given to the following: 

- _1 - These devices must be mounted in a suitable end-use enclosure._ 

- _2 -  The terminals have not been evaluated for field wiring._ 

- _3 - The LES, LESR, LKSR, LPSR, LXS and LXSR Series shall be used in a pollution degree 2 environment or better._ 

- _4 -  Low voltage circuits are intended to be powered by a circuit derived from an isolating source (such as a transformer, optical isolator, limiting impedance or electro-mechanical relay) and having no direct connection back to the primary circuit (other than through the grounding means)._ 

- _5 -  These devices are intended to be mounted on the printed wiring board of the end-use equipment (with a minimum CTI of 100)._ 

- _6 -  LES, LESR, LKSR and LPSR Series: based on results of temperature tests, in the end-use application, a maximum of 110°C cannot be exceeded on the primary jumper._ 

## **Marking** 

Only those products bearing the UL or UR Mark should be considered to be Listed or Recognized and covered under UL’s FollowUp Service. Always look for the Mark on the product.

## **Performance parameters definition** 

## **Ampere-turns and amperes** 

The transducer is sensitive to the primary current linkage _Θ_ P (also called ampere-turns). 

_Θ_ P = _N_ P ⋅ _I_ P (At) 

Where _N_ P is the number of primary turn (depending on the connection of the primary jumpers) 

Caution: As most applications will use the transducer with only one single primary turn ( _N_ P = 1), much of this datasheet is written in terms of primary current instead of current linkages. 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 _V_ out : output voltage (V) _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 (A/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 ferro- _I_ O M is the consequence of a current magnetic 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).

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.

## **Performance parameters definition** 

## **Electrical offset** 

The electrical offset voltage _V_ O E can either be measured when the ferro-magnetic parts of the transducer are: 

- ●completely demagnetized, which is difficult to realize, 

- ●or in a known magnetization state, like in the current cycle shown in figure 20. 

Using the current cycle shown in figure 20, 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 22 

Both depend on the primary current d _i /_ d _t_ . They are measured at nominal ampere-turns.

## **Application information** 

## **Filtering and decoupling** 

## **Supply voltage** _U_ C 

The transducer has internal decoupling capacitors, but in the case of a power supply with high impedance, it is highly recommended to provide local decoupling (100 nF or more, located close to the transducer) as it may reduce disturbance on transducer output _V_ out  and reference _V_ ref due to high varying primary current. 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.

## **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 (eg. 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. 

## **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, minimum and maximum values are determined during the initial characterization of the product.
