Introduction
The MCTS is a multichannel high precision current transducer system, mainly used for the range extension of
power meters. The rack can be equipped with up to six internal power supplies. All internal power supplies are
galvanic isolated from each other and from earth potential. The current output terminals deliver the transducer
output current on the back panel. Passive plug-on burden resistors and active plug-on voltage amplifiers are
available as an option. The status-readout-interface delivers the transducer status (ok or overload/error) by means
of internal galvanic isolated relay contacts.
Warning
Please be aware that an unpowered transducer or a transducer used with open output can be destroyed. The
same can happen if a transducer is heavily overloaded. Power and transducer status are visible on the front panel.
The information of the status-readout-interface on the back panel can be used to switch off the primary current
via a relay or a PLC in case the transducer is overloaded, the MCTS is switched off or the output loop is
interrupted. All these events will change the transducer status to error on the front panel led and the status-
readout-interface. There is more information about the status-readout-interface available in chapter 6.

Receiving of goods
The MCTS system can be equipped with up to six internal power supplies. There are various transducer types
available from 60 A up to 2000 A. Connection cables are available in different lengths. Passive plug-on shunts
and active plug-on voltage modules are available as an option. A status-readout cable and different current and
voltage output cables are available as options either.
Please compare your order papers with our packing list and the received goods.
