Some external current transformers can be connected to a 5A or 1A secondary: the controller internally manages an adjustable scale change for each of the two currents (P.0112 and P.0117), which guarantees the same measurement accuracy with both types of transformers.

The D-PRO protection relay measures the power on the current B. 4.6.7 The differential current measure is an absolute value that corresponds to the difference between the measurements of each phase of the currents A and B. It is used in protections 87T and 87G.
