3. Device overview 3.1 Brief description The SINEAX AM1000 is a comprehensive instrument for the universal measurement and monitoring in power systems. A full parameterization of all functions of the device is possible directly at the device or via web browser (for devices with Ethernet interface only). The universal measurement system of the device may be used directly for any power system, from single phase up to 4-wire unbalanced networks, without hardware modifications.
Pay attention to the fact, that current transformers must be shortened before removing the current connections to the device. Then demount the device in the opposite order of mounting (4.2). PM 1000198 000 07 Device handbook SINEAX AM1000 7/83...
