Figure 4.15: Parallel feeding of large load
Example:
2700 A current load is fed by 3 equal parallel cables. In order to
measure current we can embrace only one cable with clamps, and select:
Measuring on wires: 1/3 in clamp menu. Instrument will assume that we measure
only third part of current.
Note:
During setup current range can be observed by “Current range: 100%
(3000 A)” row.
Indirect current measurement
Indirect current measurement with primary current transducer is assumed if user selects
5 A current clamps: A1122 or A1037. Load current is in that case measured
indirectly
through additional primary current transformer.
In
example
below we have 100 A of primary current flowing through primary
transformer with ratio 600 A : 5 A. Settings are shown in following figure.
