The CS11 detects and measures the current along an AC wire using the magnetic field that is generated by that current. The sensor outputs a millivolt signal allowing it to be directly connected to our data loggers. The CS11 is recommended for measurements that do not require high accuracy, such as motor or generator load condition monitoring, efficiency studies, intermittent fault detection, and rough submetering.

CS11 Current Transformer In the Available Sensors and Devices box, type CS11 or locate the sensor in the select Sensors | Miscellaneous Sensors folder. Double-click CS11 Current Transformer. The default line frequency is 60 Hz. This can be changed by clicking the Line frequency (Hz) box and selecting 50 Hz.
The CS11 (FIGURE 5-1) uses CR Magnetic’s CR8459 Current Transformer to detect the current along an AC wire using the magnetic field that is generated by that current. The CS11 is external to the AC-wire jacket and has no direct electrical connection to the system.

CS11 connections to the data logger. When using the ACPower() CRBasic instruction, another sensor, a potential transformer, is required in addition to the CS11 sensor to obtain all of these measurements and values. If the potential transformer is used, its signal wire needs to be connected to a data logger single-ended terminal and its reference wire needs to be connected a data logger analog ground terminal.
To obtain all of these measurements and values, a potential transformer is required in addition to the CS11 sensor. The data logger measures the current of the CS11 and measures voltage signal and frequency of the potential transformer.
CS11 Current Transformer 7.2.2 Millivolt Burst Measurements Refer to Section 7.2.1, ACPower() Instruction , if using a potential (p. 7) transformer. Refer to Section 7.2.3, CR300 Series , or Section 7.2.4, (p. 9) , if using these data loggers. CR200X Series (p.
With the CR300X-series dataloggers, the CRBasic program uses the ExciteV() instruction to create a positive reference output that the CR300-series dataloggers can measure. The CS11 is measured with the VoltSE() instruction with a range of mV2500, an integration of 4000, and an offset of –1250.

Appendix C. Theory of Operation The CS11 contains a 10-ohm burden (shunt) resistor (R=10 ohm). Therefore, E E = 0.01 amps • 10 ohms = 0.1 volts (or 100 mV) From these calculations, it can be determined if a better resolution on the measurement is needed.
Appendix C. Theory of Operation C.5 Multiple AC-Wire Passes Through the CS11 You can pass the AC wire multiple times through the CS11 to amplify the amperage signal of the AC wire (FIGURE C-9). However, the data logger program needs a different multiplier and the VoltSE() instruction needs a different measurement range (TABLE C-1).
