Optional Connections

The current transformers have to be connected to the Meter interface with the secondary side.

Characteristics of the Meter interface

The current transformer may not exceed a maximum output or secondary current of 200 mA. The input /

rated current is calculated by the maximum amount of power that is to be measured and has to be se-

lected for each measuring point. The current transformer's rated measuring ratio can be defined for each

current transformer input.

The current transformers have to be set up in a way so that only one current-carrying conductor is mea-

sured. Cables with multiple wires cannot be measured.

The maximum cable length between the current transformers and Solar-Log™ depends on the cable dia-

gram and the load of the current transformer.

We recommend a maximum cable length of 30 meters with a diameter of 0.75 mm

for our products.

For other current transformers, please consult the manufacturer's specifications in regard to cable length

and the wiring diagram.
