it fails to operate correctly,
the equipment has been heavily overloaded due to to high currents (short circuit or something
similar),
the equipment has been heavily overloaded due to to high voltages,
the equipment has been operated with supply voltage outside specifications,
there are loose parts inside the equipment,
long term storage has taken place in conditions outside the stated specifications for safe storage,
condensation is present, or
rough transport has occurred.
The intended use of this equipment (within the limitations stated in the the technical data) is to
measure electrical current and/or voltage.
When handling electricity and/or an electrical apparatus, be sure to observe all safety rules. These
rules include, but are not limited to, the following:
Opening the equipment exposes components which are under high voltage.This is only permitted
to trained personnel. User risks injury by removing cover and may void any manufacturers
warranty. All voltage sources must be disconnected from the equipment before any equipment
covers are removed. Only suitably qualified personnel are permitted such access for the purpose
of calibration, service, repair or changing of components.
If the equipment has been opened, a high voltage test and a test of the protective conductor are
necessary according EN 61010 following the closing of the equipment for safety purposes prior
to use.
Fuses may only be replaced with the correctly rated and recommended types as written in this
manual. Reading the rated values from the fuse to be replaced is not permitted. The use of
repaired, short-circuited or insufficient fuses is not permitted.
The environmental conditions (see General environmental conditions [1.39]) must be
observed to ensure safe operation of the equipment.
Use in any type of wet or explosive environment or in presence of flammable gases or liquids is
especially prohibited.
The equipment and accessories (such as wires and clips) must be checked before each use.
Defective parts must be replaced.
Ventilation openings must be kept clear (see General environmental conditions [1.39])
to guarantee the required air flow and to prevent overheating of the equipment. In the same
way, the air filter at the air inlets must be clean to permit sufficient air flow. Do not operate the
equipment without air filter or the filter holder as injury may result.
Especially take care that the equipment is not placed above sheets of paper which could get
sucked into the ventilation openings at the bottom of the equipment!
When mounting the equipment into a rack, make sure that the slide rails do not cover any
ventilation openings.
The equipment must not be used in a medical environment nor in any other environment that
may have a potential effect on life or health.

User Manual Sensors & Accessories
The equipment is not designed to detect hazards or similar! A wrong reading (e.g. by choosing
a wrong filter or range) could give you the wrong impression of a safe state. Use appropriate
tools (e.g. a voltage detector) instead of this equipment to detect dangerous situations.
Be careful when connecting external equipment like an external keyboard or mouse to an

instrument. They might not be designed to operate in the same EMC environment as the
instrument and therefore they could be disturbed. This could lead to unwanted operation of
the instrument like changing ranges or something similar.
When connecting the instrument watch the order of connections: First connect it to the protective
conductor and the power supply (see Connection to power supply and protective
conductor [1.2.17]), then connect it to the measurement circuit (see Connection to
measurement circuit [1.2.28]). Then switch on the instrument and the equipment, and
finally, after double checking the wiring, switch on the measurement circuit.
This equipment was designed according to IEC 61010 and EN 61010 which are general safety
standards for equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use. In a concrete application
or environment further safety standards might be applicable and have to be regarded in addition.
1.2.1 Connection to power supply and protective conductor
Before connecting the mains cable to the power supply, confirm that the mains supply voltage
corresponds to the voltage printed on the models identification plate. If a voltage selector
switch exists, it must be set appropriately. A suitable power source has to be used to operate
the equipment/instrument.
The mains plug may only be inserted into a mains power supply socket with protective earth
contact. This protection must not be disabled by the usage of plugs, cables or extension cords
without protective earth.
The mains plug must be inserted into the mains socket before any other connections are made to
the equipment/instrument. Any kind of interruption of the protective earth, inside or outside the
equipment/instrument, or disconnecting the protective earth connector can result in an unsafe
condition of the equipment/instrument and is not allowed. The usage of cables, plugs, sockets
or adapters with only two poles, prongs or connectors is not allowed.
The additional protective conductor terminal of the equipment/instrument chassis must be used
for the case where an earth current in excess of 10 A might result accidentally from the circuit
under test.
Such currents are too large for the earthing connection of the equipment/instruments
supply cord. In case of a single fault, the protective conductor might not be able to
carry this current. If it would be interrupted, the case would no longer be protected
against electric shock!
In this case, connect the additional protective conductor terminal with an adequately rated cable
to a suitable earthing point. The additional protective conductor terminal is limited to currents
up to 32 A.
If reliable earthing cannot be realized, the connections between the circuit under test and the
equipment/instrument must be fused appropriately.
The earth terminal on the equipment/instrument must not be used as the only earth
connection for the equipment/instrument nor must the circuit under test nor any other
equipment/instrument be earthed by this terminal. The additional protective conductor is
marked with following symbol:

1 Introduction
1.2.2 Connection to measurement circuit
Remove all energy sources from the measurement circuit before making any connections between
this circuit and the analyzer. Do not connect or disconnect any cables while they are carrying
voltage relative to earth.
Use only measurement cables with safety connectors and sufficient cross section. Be sure that
the cables have a sufficient voltage and current rating and are usable for the desired overvoltage
and measurement category.
Cables not having safety but standard connectors might have insufficient clearance and
creepage distances, even if they are plugged into the socket. So there is always a risk
of an electric shock.
Use only colored cables which match to the color of the jack to help prevent a wrong connection.
When connecting the measurement circuit, take special care not to connect the voltage wires
to the current input of the equipment/instrument. When switching the measurement circuit on,
this would result in a short circuit which risks damage to the analyzer and to the user!
Such short circuits can be very dangerous, as currents of several thousand amperes
might flow during the short circuit!
For the connection of the voltage measurement circuit to the equipment/instrument use only
cables with suitable fuses, like those delivered together with the equipment/instrument.
The fuses in the voltage measurement cables will interrupt the current flow in case
that these cables are accidentally inserted into the low ohmic current measurement
jacks. Therefore short circuiting of a high power source (e.g. the output of an energy
distribution transformer) will not cause any hazard.
The yellow and black voltage cables have each an implemented fuse. Before and after each
measurement: Check the fuse! To replace this fuse, remove the cable on both sides from all
circuits to make it free of dangerous voltages. Unscrew the fuse holder. Replace the fuse only
with following type:
6.3x32 mm, FF 500 mA, 1000 V, AC+DC, 30 kA breaking capacity
Screw the fuse holder together again.
When connecting to high power measurement circuits (e.g. the output of an energy distribution
transformer), massive damage could occur when mismatching cables, short-circuiting the
measurement circuit, or using the current jacks of the equipment/instrument instead of the
voltage jacks and similar. So it is recommended to use appropriate fuses in all measurement
cables. When selecting a fuse, ensure that at least the following properties are met:
The usual measuring current must flow without interruption (rated current of the fuse)
The short circuit current of the measurement circuit must be interrupted safely (breaking
capacity of the fuse)
The maximum voltage of the measurement circuit must be interrupted safely (rated voltage
of the fuse)
The fuse must be suitable for the type of current: AC, DC or both (breaking capacity of
the fuse)
The fuse must be fast enough to protect the cables and the equipment/instrument
The maximum voltages between the voltage jacks may not exceed the technical specifications.
The maximum currents at the current jacks may not exceed the technical specifications.
The maximum voltages of the jacks against earth may not exceed the technical specifications.
8/114 www.zes.com
External current sensors or transformers must be connected to wires and jacks which have a
ten times higher overload capability, only. If the cables or jacks are not sufficient they could be
interrupted in case of overload! For the same reason it is not allowed to use fuses in this current
measurement wires.
Before using jacks, test if they have a low impedance current path to prevent high voltages at
the output of the external device.
In general, it is dangerous to interrupt the secondary side of a current transformer

as there might appear very high voltages which could lead to electric shock.
Cables from/to external sensors are usually designed to operate with low voltages (e.g <15 V).
When using these in an environment with a high voltage circuit, use caution as further isolation
might be necessary. For the operation itself the isolation is sufficient, but if these cables touch
a bare conductor with dangerous voltages this can cause an unsafe condition! In such cases,
further isolation might be necessary.
For example, the secondary cables of a current clamp have a very low voltage, but they could
touch the current bar which has a dangerous voltage against earth.
Especially when establishing external connections, special care must be taken to prevent
electrostatic discharge.
Different sensors might require different connection cables to the instrument. When changing a
sensor, please ensure that a correct cable is used. Usually the cable is dedicated to a sensor.
Keep away from energized measurement circuits to prevent electric shock. When performing
measurements on installations or circuits, please observe all safety regulations and guidelines.
In particular, only suitable measurement accessories should be used. Only suitably qualified
personnel are permitted to work with energized measurement circuits.
When you put the equipment/instrument out of operation, all external cables shall be removed.
Special care has to be taken when disconnecting current sensors. Before interrupting their
secondary current, the primary current has to be switched off. After disconnecting, the secondary
side of the current sensors has to be short-circuited to prevent dangerous voltages.

2.1.5 Installation
Grounding the transducer head is strictly recommended! Even if there is no requirement for safety
ground on the product, for safety reasons the transducer head PCT200 is strictly recommended to
be connected to earth ground! If in case of damage in the installation a bare conductor connects
the aluminium housing this will prevent the transducer head and the LMG connection cable to be
energised. Connect the earth wire to the transducer head PCT200 using a ring terminal and a toothed
locked washer designed for the maximun short circuit current of the installation, fastened to one of
the 6.5 mm mounting holes. Grounding of the transducer head PCT200 is also recommended to lead
away capacitive coupled distortion.
For LMG600 use the connection cable PCT200-K-L6 and optionally the extension cable LMG-
Z-SVTxx or LMG-Z-DV. For other instruments use the supply unit PCTSIU4 together with the
connection cable PCT-DSUB between PCT200 and PCTSIU4.
Also if bare conductors can be used up to the above values, it is strictly recommended to use
isolated conductors only. By this is prevented, that the housing of a transducer might short circuit
two conductors. Further more there are no problems when the secondary cable touches a primary
conductor.
Use LMG connection cable and PCT with corresponding serial

numbers!
2.1.6 Sensor without supply or open secondary circuit
Both AC and DC primary current can be applied up to 100 % of nominal current under following
conditions:
Sensor is unpowered and secondary circuit is open
Sensor is unpowered and secondary circuit is closed
Sensor is powered and secondary circuit is open
Sensor is powered and secondary circuit is interrupted during measurement
Note that the sensor core will be magnetized in all four cases, leading to a small change in output
offset current (less than 10 ppm).
14/114 www.zes.com
2.1.7 Connection of the sensor PCT200 with LMG600
Use PCT200-K-L6 and L60-X-ADSE, supply via LMG600.
Figure 2.7: PCT200 and PCT200-K-L6 and L60-X-ADSE
This cable PCT200-K-L6 is used to connect the precision current transducer PCT200 to the power
meter LMG600. Internal electronic of the connector to the LMG600 contains the adjustment data of
the PCT200 head as well as measuring ranges, sensor name and serial number. This data is read out
of the sensor automatically.

To use the current sensor with a larger connection length between power meter and PCT connect
a well shielded extension cable between the PCT (DSUB9f plug) and the PCT connection cable
(DSUB9m plug) and screw both plugs together. This extension cable is available at ZES ZIMMER:
LMG-Z-SVTxx or LMG-Z-DV in different lenths from 5m to 50m. Interference from strong
electromagnetical disturbed environments may affect the measurement accuracy. This depends
from the respective installation in the complete system and is out of responsibility of ZES

2.14.4 Improving the accuracy due to common mode effects
In high frequency applications with current measurement on high common mode voltage potential it
might be advantageous to connect the yellow plug with earth. There is a double galvanic separation:
inside the LMG and inside the current transformer itself and a capacitive coupling from the isolated
primary lead to the current transformer. So the secondary side has neither galvanic contact with
the load current nor with earth, the current channel is floating on an undefined potential. Parasitic
currents by capacitive coupling from the primary conductor to secondary transformer side that is
totally floating may influence measuring accuracy. These currents can be by-passed to earth over the
yellow plug that is connected inside to the secondary side transformer coils in that way that the fields of
these currents are compensated as not to create further disturbance and interference. The HF-accuracy
can be improved by draging down the floating voltage to about earth potential, but this might also
cause resonance, so beware not to distort the measurement accuracy.

L95-Z06 is an accessory for the precision power meters LMG with a high bandwidth. It simplifies the
measurement of output power in high frequency applications with floating potential. For example:
lighting applications, ultrasonic system. The high frequency design provides best accuracy at high
frequencies. The current transformer has a voltage output, for the direct connetion to the LMG
external Shuntinput.
The high voltage version L95-Z06-HV eliminate the 4mm safety sockets as input terminals. The limited
clearances and creepage distances are removed by usage of highvoltage wire. All other specifications
are the same as L95-Z06.
The two galvanically separated primary windings are suitable to use in series to increase the sensitivity
for small currents. And it can be used as well to build the difference of two (e.g. lamp-) currents. If
not needed the second primary winding can be left open.
The guard terminal may be grounded to bypass capacitiv currents from input to output. This reduce
errors introduced by common mode voltage.

2 Current Sensors
The accuracy of the HALLxx current sensors is determined at different temperature ranges at
the nominal current Ipn. The accuracy includes the offset current, the linearity and the thermal
drift.
Influence of internal and external magnetic fields:
The distance to other current sensors carrying a high current, to the current return or other
conductors or current bars should be as big as possible, the distance should be at least the
diameter of the sensor itself.
To get the best accuracy, it is recommended to center the primary conductor inside the hole and
orientate the sensor in the same direction of the primary conductor.
The distance from the sensor to magnetic materials (e.g. steel) should be as big as possible. It
is better to use non-magnetic materials to fix the sensor.
Use HALLxx and LMG600 specifications to calculate the accuracy of the complete system.
See specification of the LMG connection cable regarding the LMG measuring ranges for the
calculation.

that this shunt resistance is connected in series to your device under test. Oversized resistors may
distort and take influence on the load current.
Please regard that there is no isolation inside the Sensor, therefore the instrument needs
isolated inputs! The Sensor is not suitable for LMG450!
The specified accuracy is valid in combination with the LMG sensor input impedance of 100 k and

2.19 Low current shunt with overload protection (LMG-SHxx-P)
Figure 2.74: LMG-SHxx-P
LMG-SHxx-P is an external shunt resistor for LMG series with overload protection. Select an
applicable shunt resistance according to the necessary load current range and take the maximum
peak input current into concern. Values between 1 and 200 are available. But take into concern,
that this shunt resistance is connected in series to your device under test. Oversized resistors may
distort and take influence on the load current.
Please regard that there is no isolation inside the Sensor, therefore the instrument needs
isolated inputs! The Sensor is not suitable for LMG450!
The specified accuracy is valid in combination with the LMG sensor input impedance of 100 k and
the correct setting of the scaling ratio (see table). Accuracies based on: sinusoidal current, frequency
45 65 Hz, ambient temperature +233 , calibration interval 1 year. The values are in (% of
measuring value). Use LMG-SHxx-P and LMG specifications to calculate the accuracy of the complete
system.

3.3 LMG600 current sensor adapter (L60-X-ADSE)
Figure 3.5: L60-X-ADSE
The special design of all LMG600 sensors makes them very easy and comfortable to use. The
DSUB15 plug contains the identification of the sensor type, the measuring ranges, including the
needed scaling and several more parameters. The LMG600 reads this values and the meter will
automatically be configured to the optimum adjustments for using this special sensor. The LMG
range setup is automatically taken from the sensor EEPROM. Further on we correct some of the
sensor errors (transfer error, delay time, ...). So you get the best measuring results with each
sensor.
For all special LMG600 sensors the Adapter L60-X-ADSE is needed, because internally it is necessary
to connect the system ground (CPU, Sensor supply, ...) with the ground of the measuring channel.
Both signals are connected with a DSUB15 plug, without galvanic separation. The adapter L60-X-
ADSE guarantees that no measuring leads are connected to the measuring channel at the same time
and prevents electrical shock.

3.4 Artificial mid point (LMG-Z-AMP)
Figure 3.6: LMG-Z-AMP
When measuring at three-phase systems without accessible star point (typical for frequency inverters),
an artificial star point is needed for measurements in star connections. If necessary, the losses of the
artificial star point have to be considered. They can be determined exactly. The formula editor can
be used to automatically calculate these losses and correct them.
3.4.2 Connection to LMG
The LMG-Z-AMP is connected to the LMG using the six cables of the LMG (3x black, 3x yellow).
Connect each channel U with U and U* with U*. At the L1, L2, L3 jack you can connect your voltage
via the three delivered yellow measuring leads. The three black sockets U1, U2 and U3 (they represent
the artificial mid point) are interconnected!

Figure 3.7: LMG-MAS
The MAS is a adaptor for measuring at single phase devices with Schuko inlet connector up to 16A.
It was developed for the instrument series LMG. The supply is done by the fix mounted Schuko inlet.
The load is connected to the fixed mounted Schuko jack. With the LMG-MAS you can measure the
voltage (jacks U and U*). The current is also accessable (from I* to I). This jacks have to be connected
to the jacks of the measuring instrument.
The internal wiring is done so that the load is measured with correct current. This wiring is
perfect suited for the measurement of stand by power. An important point is the safety. The
MAS is in compliance with IEC61010-1 and was constructed for voltages up to 250 V CAT
II.
Always connect the adaptor first to the meter and afterwards to the device under test.
Attention! The PE jack should not be used for earthing external devices. It is only allowed to
use it for measuring purposes.
Important! If you dont want to measure the current, the jacks I* and I have to be short circuit
to enable the current to flow.

3.7 Adaptor for measurement at 16A / 3-phase devices (LMG-MAK3)
Figure 3.9: LMG-MAK3
The MAK3 is an adaptor for measuring at 3 phase systems up to 16A per phase. It is developed for the
instrument series LMG, but you can also connect other instruments.
The supply is done by a about 2m long wire. The schuko jack is to supply the instrument. If you
are measuring a load, the power consumption of the instrument is not taken into account, because
it is supplied before the measuring connectors. If you are measuring a generator, you should supply
the instrument from another jack to avoid measuring errors. With the MAK3 you can measure the
voltage of the three phases (jacks U1*, U2* and U3*) against the neutral connector (U1, U2 and
U3). But you can also measure the linked voltages. The three currents are also accessable (from I1*,
I2 * and I3* to I 1, I2 and I3). Further on by using a 4-channel instrument you can measure the
voltage between neutral and earth (U4* against U4) as well as the current in the neutral (I 4* to I
4).
Attention: Ensure in any case, that the N (neutral) on the patch panel is connected from the
input side to the output side! Either via a current measurement path or with a short circuit
on the patch panel. An open N (neutral) can lead to dangerous voltage at the output and may
destroy the connected load!! If you dont want to measure the current in L1, L2 or L3, the jacks
Ix* and Ix have to be short circuit to enable the current to flow!

3.8 Adaptor for measurement at 32A / 3-phase devices (BOB-CEE3-32)
Figure 3.10: BOB-CEE3-32
The BOB-CEE3-32 is an adaptor designed for measuring up to 32A per phase in 3-phase systems.
It was developed for the instrument series LMG, but third-party instruments may be connected as
well.
The BOB-CEE3-32 allows measurement of the voltage of each of the three phases (jacks L1, L2 and L3)
against the neutral jacks and each of the three currents (I1, I2 and I3). By using a 4-channel instrument,
the voltage between neutral and earth (N against ) can be measured, as well as the current in the
neutral (IN). It also allows measurement of the linked voltages. The adaptor is standard equipped
with a jumper in the neutral path, which enables the current to flow. The length of the supply cable
is about 2m.
The Schuko jack (Aux. Supply) can be used to supply the instrument and other equipment (e.g. laptop
computer). For safety purpose, this Schuko jack is equipped with a standard 16A circuit breaker. If a
load is measured, the power consumption of the instrument is not taken into account, as it is supplied
before the measuring connectors. If a generator is measured, the instrument should be powered from
a separate jack in order to avoid measuring errors.
Attention: Ensure in any case, that the N (neutral) on the patch panel is connected from the
input side to the output side! Either via a current measurement path or with a short circuit
on the patch panel. An open N (neutral) can lead to dangerous voltage at the output and may
destroy the connected load!! If you dont want to measure the current in L1, L2 or L3, the jacks
Ix* and Ix have to be short circuit to enable the current to flow!

Figure 3.22: PSU-K-L6 (shown together with L60-X-ADSE and transducer head PSU)
The LMG600 connection cable PSU-K-L6 is for the connection of discontinued precision current
transducers series PSU. It is not recommended for new projects, but for the use of previously purchased
LMG500 transducers. PSU-K-L6 is a generic cable for the supply and measurement of the current
output of PSU60, PSU200, PSU200HF, PSU400, PSU700 and PSU1000HF with the I* ranges of
LMG600 series. The Iscale of the corresponding current channel has to be set to the below given
values. No calibration data, range information, serial number and sensor name is stored in the cable.
No additional error terms of the cable have to be considered. If a calibration protocol is required, the
precision current transducer PSU is calibrated without this cable.
PSU600 is not pin-compatible to PSU-K-L6, please connect this transducer to LMG600 via SSU4 and
PSU-K3/K5/K10 and SSU4-K-L31.
For new projects, please see precision current transducers series PCT.
For the accuracy specification see the datasheet of the precision current transducer PSU and
use the below given measuring ranges of LMG600 to calculate the accuracy of the complete

4 FAQ - frequently asked questions / Knowledge base
4.1 Avoid distortion when using external sensors in noisy environment
External current sensors with voltage output connected to the precision power meter series LMG
have usually an output voltage of a few mV to several V. This sensors can be connected to the LMG
Isensor input and current measurements can be done with a high accuracy, but a few points have to
be kept in mind. Also sensors with current output can have distortion problems. Especially in EMC
noisy environments with high dU/dt voltages the following points should be considered to achieve
best accuracy and low noise:
Use well shielded coaxial cable to connect sensors with voltage output to the power meter LMG.
Sensors with current output should be connected with twisted measuring leads.
Avoid ground loops, do not connect the shield and/or housing of the sensor at several different
points to earth. Take into concern, that other instruments, measuring the same secondary signal,
might have inputs without isolation to earth, e.g. oscilloscopes. Important is the star-shaped
grounding of the complete system.
In the case of well shielded sensors e.g. Pearson transducers, the shield housing should be
connected to PE to allow the capacitiv coupled distortion to find a low impedance way to
earth and do not couple to the measuring signal. If so, the low input I should not be connected
to earth.
Figure 4.1: Grounding of well shielded sensors
In applications with current measurement on high common mode voltage potential it is

advantageous to connect the low output of a galvanic separated current transformer with earth.
There is a double galvanic separation: in the LMG and inside the current transformer itself. So
the secondary side has neither galvanic contact with the load current nor with earth: the current
channel is floating on an undefined potential. The accuracy can be improved by draging down
the floating voltage to about earth potential and give the distortion currents a low impedance
way to earth.
107
Figure 4.2: Grounding of common current sensor signals
In applications with a high dU/dt and sensors with onboard electronics it might be profitable
to shield the isolated primary conductor e.g. with copper foil connected only at one side! to
earth. This shield ought to bleed of the capacitive coupled distortion to earth and keep them
away from the sensor electronics. This policy can also be used to enhance accuracy and reject
distortion with other current transducers.
Figure 4.3: Grounding of sensors with onboard electronics
In all cases you should adapt the bandwidth of the power meter to the bandwidth of the current
sensor and the signal. It is useless to measure the active power with a 5 kHz bandwidth current
clamp and a power meter bandwidth of 10 MHz, in this case a signal filter of e.g. 10 kHz will not
affect the measuring signal significantly, but will highly reduce HF distortion and noise!

4.3 Avoid measuring errors due to shield currents
Figure 4.5: shielded high voltage cable
In the medium voltage range (e.g. wind energy) and also electrically powered vehicles shielded cabels
are commonly used for power connections.
Current measurement with feed-through current transducers and shielded cables can lead to
measuring errors. Only the current in the inner conductor is relevant but its magnetic field is
superimposed with the magnetic field of the shield current and measured together in the current
transducer.
The shield turned back through the transducer will lead to an opposite magnetic field and cancels the
resulting magnetic field measured by the transducer to zero. The shield effect against the electric field
between conductor and transducer is not influenced.
Figure 4.6: avoid measuring errors due to shield currents
110/114 www.zes.com
4.4 Range extension by changing primary ratio at current sensors
Figure 4.7: external range extension
You can use two windings through a current transducer to expand its current
range.
In this example one winding with one turn (for big currents) and one winding with ten turns (for small
currents) are taken. If you change the scaling value of the corresponding power meters current channel
the different turns are taken into account for all of the measuring values.
This approach is suitable for all feed through and clamp on current
transducers.

4.5 Hints for wiring current transformers or HST to LMG
The appropriate cable types to connect the transducers to the power meter are described in this
section. Each cable connects all current transformer or all voltage transducer signals from a three
phase system to a power meter.
The appropriate cable types must have individually twisted pairs (TP) and a shield
made of copper netting. For example, the following types of cables have the matching
properties:
1. Lappkabel: Unitronic LiYCY(TP)
2. Helukabel: Paar-Tronic-CY
3. TKD-Kabel: PAARTRONIC-CY LiYCY(TP)
Use one twisted pair for one current transformer or voltage transducer. Several three phase systems
can be connected together in one cable.
The cable shields are connected only on one side to the ground terminal of the high
voltage divider (HST) or the current transformer. The LMG-side cable shields should remain
unconnected!
4.5.1 Copper cross section
For a proper load resistor of the current transformers, use one of the following cross sections depending
on the cable length. But regard also that the cable is capable to withstand the rated short-time thermal
current of the current transformer!
(a) metric unit (b) American wire gauge

Cable length Copper cross section Cable length American wire gauge
8 m 12 m 0.25 mm2 7 m 10 m AWG 24
11 m 17 m 0.34 mm2 10 m 17 m AWG 22
16 m 25 m 0.5 mm2 16 m 27 m AWG 20
23 m 38 m 0.75 mm2 26 m 42 m AWG 18
32 m 51 m 1.0 mm2 41 m 67 m AWG 16
48 m 77 m 1.5 mm2 65 m 107 m AWG 14
78 m 128 m 2.5 mm2 104 m 170 m AWG 12
Table 4.1: Copper cross section
For the connection of the high voltage transducer (HST) output, one does not have to care about the
cross section. Coaxial cable (e.g. RG58) can be used too.
4.5.2 Treatment of the ends of the wires
Use gold-plated stackable 4mm plugs, e.g. Multi-Contact LS425-SE/M (Brklin 15F3107) together
with insulating sleeve KT425-SE (Brklin 15F310x). Note: the 4mm plugs have to be stackable for
easy LMG-side short circuit of the secondary side of the current transformers. The plated gold is
important because of the contact resistance.
112/114 www.zes.com
4.6 The burden resistor
For measurements with the specified accuracies the burden of a sensor has to be between 50 % and
100 % of the rated burden in the data sheet (at the rated frequency range). This burden can be
specified as ohmic resistor or as an apparent power value. Here an example how you can convert
the two values: rated secondary current = 5 A, rated burden = 2.5 VA, R = IS2 = 2.5 VA
(5A)2 =
100 m.
Figure 4.8: burden calculation
The burden resistor is built up from the ohmic load of the cables and additional from the burden
of the meter. The sensor will not work at the specified accuracy, if the operation burden is not
observed. Because of the very low input impedance of the elektronic meter inputs, the rated
operation burden is mostly not reached and an additional burden resistor has to be fitted. This
resistor can also be built up from a correctly dimensioned connection cabel from the sensor to the
meter.
4.6.1 Example
current transformer: 100 A/5 A, rated burden 2.5 VA, operation burden = 50 %
2
connection cable: l = 2 m, A = 1.5 mm2 , copper = 0.0175 mm
m
input impedance of the power meter: Rmeter = 20 m
rated burden of the CT is: R = IS2 = 2.5 VA
(5A)2 = 100 m
operation burden of the CT is: Roperation = 100 m 50 % = 50 m
0.0175 mm2 2 m
Rcable = l
A = m1.5 mm2 = 23.3 m
Radditional = Roperation Rcable Rmeter = 50 m 23.3 m 20 m = 6.7 m
You can realize the correct burden with a larger connection cable:
(Roperation Rmeter )A m)m1.5 mm2
l = RA
= = (50 m20
0.0175 mm2 = 2.57 m
