Switch position "I"
If the rotary coding switch is at switch position "I", the measured current values are output
linearly:
A01: Current in phase I
L1
A02: Current in phase I
L2
A03: Current in phase I
L3
A04: Current in neutral conductor
Calculation of full-scale value
Since the circuit breaker can be designed for different rated currents, there must be
automatic scaling to the full-scale value, or interpretation of the maximum output value of the
analog output module. The value of the currently used rating plug is used for this.
The maximum value is calculated by multiplying the value of the rating plug by 1.2 and then
rounding up to the nearest 100.
Example: With a rating plug of 1600 A, the full-scale value of the rotary coil instrument must
be 2000 A (1600 x 1.2 = 1920 ⇒ 2000 A). That is, 0 V/4 mA correspond to 0 A, 10 V/20 mA
correspond to 2000 A.
Switch position "V"
If the rotary coding switch is at switch position "V", the following
voltages will be applied to the four analog outputs:
A01: External conductor voltage V
L12
A02: External conductor voltage V
L23
A03: External conductor voltage V
L31
A04: Phase-to-neutral voltage V
L1N
In most cases, the external conductor voltages are indicated on the control cabinet doors.
For this reason, the first three channels are assigned these measured values. If the voltage
is required between a phase and the neutral conductor, it is available via the output.
The full-scale deflection value for the rotary coil instrument is derived by multiplying the rated
voltage of the system by 1.1 and then rounding up to the nearest 50 value.
Example: The rated voltage of the system is 400 V. The full-scale value is then 450 V
(400 V x 1.1 = 440 V ⇒ 450 V).
