1. Introduction The Current Transducer is a DIN Rail/wall mounted 43.5 X 65.5mm Transducer. The Current Transducer is used to measure and convert AC Current input into proportional DC current or voltage output signal. Output signal generated is proportional to the True RMS (upto 15th Harmonic) of the input Current.

4. RS 485 ( ModBus ) Current Transducer supports MODBUS (RS485) RTU protocol( 2-wire )Connection should be made using twisted pair shielded cable. All "A" and "B" connections are daisy chained together. The screens should also be connected to the “Gnd” terminal. To avoid the possibility of loop currents, an Earth connection should be made at one point on the network.

has been designed to automatically recover in the event of a high level of transients. In extreme circumstances it may be necessary to temporarily disconnect the auxiliary supply for a period of greater than 5 seconds to restore correct operation. The Current inputs of these products are designed for connection in to systems via Current Transformers only, where one side is grounded.
within easy reach of the OPERATOR & It shall be marked as the disconnecting device for the equipment. 5.5 Fusing It is recommended that all voltage lines are fitted with 1 amp HRC fuses. 5.6 Earth/Ground Connections For safety reasons, CT secondary connections should be grounded in accordance with local regulations.
