ND31LITE User manual APPLICATION The ND31LITE meter is a programmable digital instrument designed for the measurement of 1-phase 2-wire and 3-phase 3 and 4-wire power network parameters in balanced or unbalanced systems. The measured values are displayed on a 3,5’’ TFT full-color screen, resolution: 320 x 240 pixel. The me- ter enables control and optimization of the power electronic devices, systems and industrial installations.
ND31LITE User manual Fig. 1. Meter set BASIC REQUIREMENTS, OPERATIONAL SAFETY In terms of operational safety the controller meets the requirements of the EN 61010-1 (incl. changes) standard. Remarks concerning safety: • The meter should be installed and connected only by a qualified personnel.
• Protection of the supply voltage path: Protect the supply voltage with an approved (UL / IEC) fuse: ND31LITE at 85-253V AC or 90-300V DC, 1.0 A, type C; • Protection of current measurement inputs: The meter allows current measurement via current transformers.
92.5 x 92.5 mm. There are screw terminal strips on the outer side of the meter which enable the connection of external wires of diameter up to 2.5 mm LITE Fig. 3. Overall dimensions of the ND31LITE meter METER DESCRIPTION 5.1.
ND31LITE User manual - Three-phase four-wire systems with grounded/ungrounded neutral conductor with a system voltage of 3x57.7/100 V to 3x230/400V. - Three-phase three-wire systems with grounded/ungrounded phase with a system voltage of 3x100 V to 3x400V, - Single-phase two-wire systems 1x57.7V to 1x400V 5.3.
