CIRCUTOR's after-sales service. 2.- PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The CVM-C10 device measures, calculates and displays the main electrical parameters of the follow- ing networks: single-phase, two-phase, with and without neutral, balanced three-phase, with ARON measurements or unbalanced. The measurement will be taken in RMS with the three AC voltage inputs and three current inputs.
The CVM-C10 device must be installed by authorised and qualified staff. The power supply plug must be disconnected and measuring systems switched off before handling, al- tering the connections or replacing the device.
The temperature rating of insulation of wires connected to the device will be at minimum 62ºC. 3�3�- CVM-C10-FLEX: ROGOWSKI SENSORS The CVM-C10-FLEX model measures currents using flexible sensors, based on the Rogowski coil prin- ciple. The flexibility of the sensor allows it to measure an alternating current irrespective of the position of the conductor.
