RT500

RT 500 Flexible split-core Rogowski coil for the electronic measurement of AC waveform currents, with galvanic separation between the primary circuit (power) and the secondary circuit (measurement). The patented Perfect Loop Technology definitely solves the problem of the Rogowski coil opening by introducing a specific magnetic device. This dramatically reduces both the error due to the position of the measured conductor within the sensor, and the error due to the proximity of external conductors.

Safety and warning notes In order to guarantee safe operation of the transducer and to be able to make proper use of all features and functions, please read these instructions thoroughly! Safe operation can only be guaranteed if the transducer is used for the purpose it has been designed for and within the limits of the technical specifications. Ensure you get up-to-date technical information that can be found in the latest associated datasheet under www.lem.com. Caution! Risk of danger Ignoring the warnings can lead to serious injury and/or cause damage! The electric measuring transducer may only be installed and put into operation by qualified personnel that have received an appropriate training. The corresponding national regulations shall be observed during installation and operation of the transducer and any electrical conductor. The transducer shall be used in electric/electronic equipment with respect to applicable standards and safety requirements and in accordance with all the related systems and components manufacturers’ operating instructions. Caution! Risk of electrical shock When operating the transducer, certain parts of the module may carry hazardous live voltage (e.g. primary conductor). The user shall ensure to take all measures necessary to protect against electrical shock. The transducer is a build-in device containing conducting parts that shall not be accessible after installation. A protective enclosure or additional insulation barrier may be necessary. Installation and maintenance shall be done with the main power supply disconnected except if there are no hazardous live parts in or in close proximity to the system and if the applicable national regulations are fully observed. Safe and trouble-free operation of this transducer can only be guaranteed if transport, storage and installation are carried out correctly and operation and maintenance are carried out with care. 11December2013/version 2 LEM reserves the right to carry out modifications on its transducers, in order to improve them, without prior notice Page 3/4 www.lem.com Dimensions RT 500 (in mm) Connection Ip IP VS+ VS- Fig. 1 Remarks Mechanical characteristics ●● General tolerance ●● Output cable length ± 1 mm 3000 mm WARNING! Do not stress the coil by applying any kind of mechanical force (ie. twisting, puncturing, excessive pressure, tight bending, etc.) which will dramatically degrade the device’s accuracy. ●● Vout= VS+- VS- is positive when dIP/dt flows in the direction of the arrow (see fig. 1) ●● Due to low positioning error (εP), the device does not need to be physically fastened around the primary conductor. Should the device be secured, make sure no mechanical stress is applied to the coil itself.
