Using an External Sensor to Wire the Circuit
under Measurement
WARNING
• When using an external sensor, make sure to use a sensor that comes in a
case. The conductive parts and the case should be insulated, and the sensor
should have enough withstand voltage with respect to the voltage being
measured. Using a bare sensor is dangerous, because you might accidentally
come in contact with it which results in electric shock.
• When using a shunt, do not wire while electricity is running. This act is
extremely dangerous. Make sure to turn OFF the circuit under measurement.
Voltage is applied to the shunt while electricity is running. Do not come in
contact with it.
• When using the clamp sensor, make sure you have a thorough understanding of
the specifications and handling of the voltage of the measurement circuit and
the clamp sensor. Check that there are no hazards (places that may cause
electric shock).
• When using the external sensor input terminal, do not touch the current input
terminal or connect measurement cables. This act is dangerous, because when
power is applied to the circuit under measurement (that is connected to the
external sensor input terminal), the voltage of the circuit appears across the
current input terminals.
• Use connectors with safety terminals that cover the conductive parts for
connecting to the external sensor input terminals of the WT210/WT230. If the
connector comes loose, voltage appears at the conductive parts making them
extremely dangerous.
CAUTION
The measurement current flows through the thick lines in the wiring diagrams.
Use wires with sufficient current capacity.
Note
•
The external sensor must be selected carefully, because the frequency and phase
characteristics of the sensor affects the measured value.
•
Make the lead wires between the external sensor and the instrument as short as possible to
minimize measurement errors caused by stray capacitance and resistance of the lead wires.
•
To minimize error when using a shunt-type current sensor, note the following points when
connecting the external sensor cable.
•
Connect the shielded wire of the external sensor cable to the L side of the shunt output
terminal (OUT).
•
Minimize the area created between the wires connecting the current sensor to the external
sensor cable. The effects due to the line of magnetic force (caused by the measurement
current) and noise that enter this area of space can be reduced.
