Module 96-PA-RCM / 96-PA-RCM-EL

ATTENTION

Damage to the device/your system due to short 

circuit!

Inadequate insulation of the operating equipment 

at the analog inputs with respect to the supply cir-

cuits can lead to damage of your device or system.

 

·

Ensure reinforced or double insulation with 

respect to the supply circuits!

 ·

Observe the general safety information in 

„2.8 Safety information for analog inputs“ on 

page 13.

6.10 Analog inputs I5 and I6/U6 – DC power

As an option for measuring the residual current, 
the basic device with module also permits use of 
the analog inputs I5 and I6 (U6) for a DC power 
measurement. 

In a DC power measurement, the current channel 
I6 effectively becomes a voltage measurement 
input, U6. When a residual current transformer 
of the type CT-AC/DC Type B+ is connected, it 
converts an input voltage into an output current 
signal. The current signal changes proportionately 
to the measured value of the input variable.

For a DC power measurement, the basic device 
with module supports input current signals with 
the values

 ·0 ... 20 mA
 ·4 ... 20 mA
