4. Instal·lació i configuració

The SCT019 current transformer is designed for easy installation on existing conductors. Follow these steps for proper setup:

1. Preparació del circuit: Ensure the electrical circuit where the current is to be measured is completely de-energized and locked out according to safety procedures.
2. Open the Core: Gently press the latch mechanism on the side of the transformer to open the split core. Refer to the diagram below for the opening and closing method.
3. Position the Conductor: Place the conductor (wire carrying the current to be measured) through the opening of the transformer core. Ensure the conductor passes through the center of the opening for optimal accuracy.
4. Close the Core: Close the split core firmly until the latch mechanism clicks into place, ensuring a secure and complete closure. A proper closure is critical for accurate readings.
5. Connect Output Wires: Connect the output wires of the transformer to your measuring device (e.g., multimeter, data logger, energy meter) that is designed to accept a 0.333V AC input. The white wire is typically the positive output, and the black wire is the common/negative.
6. Verifica les connexions: Double-check all connections for security and correct polarity.
7. Re-energize Circuit: Once all connections are secure and verified, the circuit can be safely re-energized.

Note: The specific current ratings (e.g., 0-30A) shown in this image are for a different variant within the SCT019 series. Please refer to the Technical Specifications section for the 80A/0.333V model's exact ratings.

5. Funcionament

Once installed, the SCT019 current transformer will convert the AC current flowing through the primary conductor into a proportional AC voltage signal (0.333V at rated input). This voltage signal can then be read by a compatible measuring device.

• Interval de mesura: The transformer is designed for a rated input of 80A. Measurements outside this range may affect accuracy.
• Freqüència: The device operates accurately within a frequency range of 20 Hz to 1 KHz.
• Output Interpretation: The 0.333V output corresponds to the 80A input. Your measuring device should be calibrated to interpret this voltage proportionally to the current. For example, if the measuring device reads 0.1665V, the current would be 40A (half of the rated 80A).

6. Manteniment

The YHDC SCT019 current transformer is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, periodic checks are recommended:

• Inspecció visual: Periodically inspect the transformer for any signs of physical damage, cracks, or discoloration.
• Integritat de la connexió: Ensure all electrical connections remain tight and free from corrosion.
• Core Closure: Verify that the split core remains securely closed. A loose core can lead to inaccurate readings.
• Neteja: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the transformer with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.

7. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your SCT019 current transformer, consider the following:

• No Output/Incorrect Reading:
  • Check Core Closure: Ensure the split core is fully closed and latched.
  • Verifica les connexions: Confirm that the output wires are correctly connected to the measuring device and that the device is powered on and configured correctly.
  • Conductor Placement: Ensure the primary conductor passes through the center of the transformer opening.
  • Circuit Current: Verify that there is actual AC current flowing through the primary conductor.
  • Dispositiu de mesura: Test your measuring device with a known voltage source to ensure it is functioning correctly.
• Lectures inconsistents:
  • Interferència externa: Check for strong magnetic fields or electrical noise sources near the transformer.
  • Connexions soltes: Torneu a apretar totes les connexions.
  • Core Integrity: Inspect the core for any damage or foreign objects preventing complete closure.
