Installation specifications

Note
Please ensure strict adherence to the installation specifications for live cables.
Open-circuit voltage may result in death, serious injury or material damage
The current transformer output is a constant current power supply. In accordance with U = R * I,
the output voltage increases with an increasing resistance. If the connecting terminals of the
current transformer are open, the output voltage may become high enough for you to put your
life at risk or permanently damage the current transformer.
Avoid operating the unit when open. Operating a network for monitoring safely and without
faults requires that the monitoring relay and the 3UL23 residual current transformer have been
installed completely. It is absolutely necessary to short-circuit previously installed
3UL23 residual current transformers when the units are not connected to a monitoring relay.
3UL23 residual current transformer conductor cross-sections
In accordance with DIN EN 60204‑1 "Safety of machinery", the current carrying capacity of
conductors is limited depending on their cross-section. This results in the ideally suitable
residual current transformer to be used as per the following table. Please observe potentially
deviating, local installation specifications.
