5. Electrical functions
5.1. Safety features
Reinforced insulation
• Reinforced insulation according to IEC 60664-1 is provided by the Sensor Unit.
• Rated insulation RMS voltage: 1000V
Thermal consideration
• The DCBM features temperature measurements on its shunt.
• Temperature can be read at any time using
/livemeasure
API (see "7.3.5. Other measurements")
•
Furthermore, the Sensor Unit monitors those value. In case an over temperature is detected, a status
flag is raised, and traced in the on-going transaction (see
5.2. Integration solutions
5.2.1. Overview
The DCBM 400/600 product family offers multiple solutions for integration of its Sensor Unit.
Choices can be made on:
•
The current flow which is considered as regular counting direction
• The voltage side on which the DCBM is installed
Regardless of the Sensor Unit configuration, the Meter Unit connection is always the same.
!
The connection line for voltage measurement must include the supplied ferrite, ensuring
measurement reliability despite EMI interferences, as shown on
5.2.2. Counting direction
Two types of references are available, matched with different counting direction:
