SICAM FCM Current-Transformer Adaptor
Manual
s
The current-transformer (CT) adaptor is delivered with SICAM FCM as an optional accessory and can be ordered with
separate MLFB numbers 6MD2320-0AA10-1AA0 for 1 A and 6MD2320-0AA20-1AA0 for 5 A.
The CT adaptor acts as an interface between the primary CT and SICAM FCM to convert the secondary value of 1A/5A into
a IEC 60044-8 standard conform low power signal, which is measured in SICAM FCM.
Installation Procedure
s
Before installing the CT adaptor, make sure that SICAM FCM is powered-off. To install the CT adaptor with the SICAM
FCM, execute the following procedure:
1. Replace the 4 rear screws with the 4 threaded bolts in the order (diagonal to each other). Secure the 4 screws and
reuse in assembling CT adaptor to SICAM FCM.
NOTE
The maximum torque required for tightening the 4 thread bolts to SICAM FCM is 0.35 Nm.
2. Carry out the electrical connections of the 3 current inputs, 3 voltage inputs, 1 digital input, 2 digital outputs, 1 RS485
interface (Modbus RTU), 1 auxiliary power supply connection on the rear side of SICAM FCM.
3. Carry out all the necessary electrical connections of the cable assembly as per the following color coding of the wires.

NOTE
When terminating the connector; ensure that the wires of the cable assembly are not twisted.
4. Fix the CT adaptor to SICAM FCM by using the 4 SICAM FCM screws with a maximum torque of 0.35 Nm.
5. Connect the cable assembly to the CT adaptor.
6. Before installing the primary CT wires at the CT adaptor, ensure that the primary CTs are short-circuited to avoid safety
problems.
NOTE
The 4 threaded bolts and the cable assembly are delivered with the CT adaptor.
NOTE
Always ensure the polarity when installing the primary CT cable and also follow the direction information as
mentioned on the adaptor card.
