  • Page 21: Selection Criteria For Current Transformer

    The Fronius Smart Meter TS needs 0.5 VA to carry out its measurements. Losses also occur on the outgoing and return leads. The power of the current converter must be greater than the sum total of the power of the Fronius Smart Meter TS and the leads. The higher the power, the better.

  • Page 22: Connecting The Current Transformers

    2.2 VA Example The length of the outgoing and return lead (0.5 m each) between the Fronius Smart Meter TS and the current transformer is a total of 1 m and has a copper cable cross-sec- tion of 1.5 mm²; the line resistance is therefore 0.6 VA according to the table above. The self-consumption of the Fronius Smart Meter TS is 0.5 VA.
