3 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Description
Ampcontrol’s ELV-PRO is a high performance, microprocessor based, wide bandwidth earth leakage
protection relay that is capable of measuring and analysing power and switching frequency currents
flowing in IT power systems. The ELV-PRO uses patented technology (US20130258537) to characterise
earth leakage currents giving superior fault discrimination.
The ELV-PRO relay is designed for use in systems that may exhibit circulating earth currents and
complex earth leakage currents typically associated with variable speed drives in mining environments.
Key Features
The ELV-PRO has the following key features:
Compliance to AS/NZS 4871 and AS/NZS 2081
Patented earth leakage analysis method*
Fail safe operation
Wide range Earth Leakage Current Measurement (20 Hz to 8 kHz)
Wideband, Narrowband and Weighted Frequency Response Modes
Adjustable trip level and trip times
On board memory logs last 1000 data logs and 50 events
CIP over EtherNet/IP for control and Monitoring
Modbus TCP
Continuous Toroid Connection Monitoring
DIN rail mounted
* International patent application number PCT/AU2011/000705
Application
The ELV-PRO is intended for use at transformer NER connection points as a BUEL Protection relay. The
relay is not limited to be used in this configuration only, and can be utilised on any individual outlet if
desired. This would allow greater earth leakage current data to be captured relating to a specific outlet,
rather than the entire system connected to the transformers secondary that the NER is protecting.
The ELV-PRO provides data logging to assist in fault finding. On each event trigger, the relay stores
system data two seconds before and two seconds after the event including system time, earth leakage
current, phase current and zero crossing of the phase current.
Ethernet connection to the ELV-PRO relay provides the ability to monitor the device parameters and real
time measured current from an internet browser. All data logs stored on the unit can also be viewed.

4 INSTALLATION
General Warnings
These instructions have been designed to assist users of the ELV-PRO with installation.
Before the ELV-PRO can be installed, there are a number of things that need to be considered and
understood to prevent incorrect or unsafe operation of the relay or the system into which it is installed.
Along with relevant competence, and an understanding of the target application, the following points
should be considered:
4.1.1 Ensure that the information provided in this user manual is fully understood.
It is extremely important that the limitations and functionality of the relay are understood to prevent
incorrect installation or use, creating a potentially dangerous risk. If in doubt as to the nature of the
limitations or their implication, consult a competent authority such as a supervisor or Ampcontrol
technical representative.
4.1.2 Ensure that the application into which the relay is being installed has been properly defined, designed and approved.
Any system intended to mitigate the risk of injury needs to be properly designed and implemented.
Such a system must be the result of structured risk analysis with the outcomes used to define the
system requirements. These requirements, in turn, will guide the choice of instrumentation, logic
solvers and actuators needed to implement the system. Understanding the needs of the system will
ensure proper selection of equipment.
4.1.3 Ensure that the relay will properly perform the required functions within the system design.
It is important to understand how the relay is intended to interact with other equipment within a system.
For safe and reliable use, it is crucial that neither the logical operation nor its signalling be
compromised by incompatibilities with connected equipment.
4.1.4 Modifications of any form to the relay are prohibited.
If modifications of any form are made to the relay, the equipment may no longer be fit for use. If any
modifications or damage to the relay is evident, do not use the equipment and contact Ampcontrol for
advice.
Mandatory Installation Practices
The following information must be adhered to when installing the ELV-PRO. Failure to adhere to this
information may give rise to unsafe operation.
Using the relay in a manner that exceeds its electrical or functional specifications, or in a way that is
contrary to its operating restrictions, may create risks to personnel and/or equipment resulting in injury or
death.
The ELV-PRO must be supplied by a regulated voltage within the specified range.
The installation of the ELV-PRO must be carried out by suitably trained and qualified personnel.
Identification labels fixed to the ELV-PRO must not be damaged, removed or covered.
The installation is to be in accordance with the relevant installation Standards/Codes of Practice.
Modifications must not be made to any part of the ELV-PRO. Modifications to its construction will
render the unit non-compliant.
Complete and accurate records of the installation must be retained for warranty purposes.

The Earth Leakage protection is achieved through the use of a core balance CT. The connections to
the CT are terminals P6_1 & P6_2. Terminal P6_3 is the screen termination point for the cable
connecting the EL CT to the relay. For further details see Section 4.4.9.
NOTE
The loop impedance of the cables used to connect the EL CT to
the ELV-PRO relay must be less than 1Ω. It is recommended that this
is wired as a twisted pair shielded cable.
To ensure the CT is connected and the signal the relay monitors is correct, a CT test output is provided
on terminals P6_5 & P6_6. A missing CT Test signal through the CT will cause the ELV-PRO relay to
trip. The test signal is applied every two seconds, and may be seen on the live screens and data logs.
Terminal P6_4 of Plug 6 should not be connected.
The Zero Crossing input, terminals P6_7 & P6_8, is provided for logging purposes.

4.4.8 Removal of ELV-PRO Relay
The ELV-PRO can be removed by simply removing the plugs and dislodging the Analyser from the DIN
rail. Each plug is secured to the ELV-PRO through two screws on either end to prevent the plugs
becoming loose during operation or transport.
4.4.9 ELV-PRO Current Transformer Location and Selection
The ELV-PRO relay has been designed for compliance to AS/NZS 2081:2011 for use on earth fault
limited systems. There are generally two locations where the ELV-PRO may be installed:
1- Core balance protection performs the primary protection in an installation by protecting the outlet
supplying power to a machine. In this application the relay’s operation time is typically set at
instantaneous. The three power phases are passed symmetrically through the centre of the
toroid. If there is no earth fault present, the vector sum of the currents in a three-phase supply is
zero. If current from any phase flows to earth, the toroid flux becomes unbalanced, allowing the
toroid to produce an output, which in turn trips the relay.
A test current is injected through the window of the toroid to test the operation of the relay.
2- Series neutral protection is the backup protection method and may have an operation time up to
a maximum of 500ms. In this method the neutral to earth connection is passed through the
toroid. An earth fault on any of the phase conductors causes an earth current which returns,
through the neutral, to the star point of the transformer and is detected by the toroid.
A test circuit can connect a test resistor between a phase and earth or inject a current through
the toroid as previously described.
NOTE
The test resistor to earth method is recommended with this type of
protection as this test also proves the neutral to earth connection.

The ELV-PRO relay is designed for use with Ampcontrol 100/1A EL500S series Toroids. They are
available with window sizes 25, 60, & 112mm.
NOTE
When installing the wideband EL relays on an outlet with VSD or VVVF
drive, it is recommended that the relays toroid be installed on the cables
before the drive. This will allow the relay to provide EL protection that
includes the drive itself.
4.4.10 ELV-PRO Phase Monitoring Toroid
The ELV-PRO has provision for the connection of a suitable toroid, with a secondary rating of 5A, to
monitor a phase current in the system.
NOTE
No settings are required within the unit for the connection of this
additional toroid, but the ratio of the toroid should be recorded so that
when data is analysed, the actual phase current can be calculated.

5 PRODUCT OPERATION
The ELV-PRO’s advance analysis ability does not prevent the relay operating as an effective Earth
Leakage Protection Relay. This section will discuss the various features of the relay.
Earth Leakage Protection
The Earth Leakage (EL) protection used in the ELV-PRO is based upon the ELV wideband EL Protection
relay. The relay is designed to AS/NZS 2081:2011 Section 6. The ELV-PRO, like the ELV, uses patented
technology (AU2011264414) to characterise earth leakage currents giving superior fault discrimination,
particularly in applications involving switching power electronics and variable speed drives.
The earth fault current is measured using a toroid, with the trip time and trip threshold being able to be
independently adjusted through the web interface. When a fault occurs above the relays trip level and
time delay settings, the relay’s trip function is activated. A trip will de-energise the trip contacts
connected in the system control circuit. The trip condition is latched and requires a reset input to clear,
either through the web interface, Ethernet IP or Modbus IP. A local reset is also provided on the fascia of
the relay.
The user has the ability to switch the relay between wideband (up to 8 kHz), narrowband (power
frequency) and weighted frequency mode (up to 8 kHz, high frequency compensated).
The ELV Relay has been designed and tested for use on fault-limited systems. To ensure maximum
protection, the earth leakage system should be used in conjunction with the other protection systems
covered by AS/NZS 2081. The collective systems are designed to limit touch and step potentials.
The relay is also suitable for industry where equipment or system earth leakage protection is required.
The relay is not suitable for personal protection, which requires trip levels of 20-30mA, with
instantaneous operation (refer to AS/NZS 3190).
The ELV-PRO has three operating modes:
Wideband mode: The relay will see all currents between 20 Hz and 8 kHz and trips if the true
RMS level of leakage current is above the trip level (adjustable from 50mA to 5A). This mode is
compliant with AS/NZS 2081:2011 and would be used in most cases.
Narrowband (power frequency) mode: The relay will see all currents between 20 Hz and 100 Hz
and trips if the true RMS level of leakage current is above the trip level (adjustable from 50mA to
5A). This mode operates as a traditional earth leakage relay.
Weighted frequency mode: This mode sets a modified form of wideband operation for demanding
applications; these settings allow increased trip levels at higher frequencies to take into account
the reduced sensitivity of the human body to touch potentials at these frequencies.
Earth Leakage Analysis Tool
The ELV-PRO offers real time analysis of the earth leakage current and also provides a logging function
that allows the data to be analysed later.
The real time analysis consists of three live graphs; an Oscilloscope graph, RMS Graph and a Fast
Fourier Transform Graph.
OSC (Oscilloscope) graph: Plots the instantaneous values of earth leakage current measured by
the ELV-PRO. At every update, it displays the last 80ms of data.
RMS graph: In this view, Root Mean Square values of the measured current are shown. The user
is able to select the time interval on the graph by selecting from the buttons below the graph.
FFT graph: This plot shows the frequency content of the past 80ms worth of instantaneous
measurements.
For further details on navigating these graphs and utilising the analysis tools refer to Section 6.

Data Logging
Data logs are triggered by a trip or alarm event, a trigger from a digital input, or can be set to happen
periodically. On each event trigger, the ELV-PRO stores system data for two seconds before and two
seconds after the event. This includes:
System time,
Earth leakage current,
Phase current (with connection of a toroid, 5A secondary connection, within ±5% of full-scale),
Zero crossing of the phase current (with connection of a 110Vac supply), and
Temperature
The last 1000 events are stored in the unit. The internal storage cannot be overwritten by the user. When
the unit’s memory reaches capacity the oldest entries are overwritten.
Besides being triggered by a trip, logging can be initiated in three other ways:
Digital Inputs: By a signal at digital inputs 1-5.
Periodically: Logging initiated by the ELV-PRO software at a regular interval.
Alarm level logging: The user selects a trip level and delay below that of the unit’s main trip
settings; typically those of the downstream protection. This allows the user to see the operation of
the downstream protection. A cool down time can also be selected to prevent the unit from
continuously logging.
Real Time Clock (RTC)
Recorded data is stored on the ELV-PRO with a time stamp, indicating the system time when the log
was made. For the purposes of aligning recorded data with other records, it is important that the user
regularly checks that the time on the RTC reflects a level of accuracy acceptable to the user.
Without regular synchronisation, the RTC may become different from actual time. The ELV-PRO does
not have an on board battery to maintain the RTC settings.
NOTE
The ELV-PRO does not have an on board battery to maintain the real
time clock. Without regular synchronisation, the RTC may be different
from the actual time.
If the relay is not configured to use a NTP server, on power-up the relay will look at the last event stored
in the memory, add 30 seconds, and use this time as the current time. When a change is made to the
relay’s time, an event is recorded, capturing the relative time with reference to the power-up time, and a
second event is captured with a time stamp of the new configured time.
By doing this any events that occur between power-up and time synchronism can be manually
timestamped to the correct time relative to the configured time change. The ELV-PRO can be configured
to utilise an NTP server on a connected network. Refer to Section 6.2.6 for further information. This
allows the relay to automatically update the time. Similarly to a manual time change, if the NTP server
causes the ELV-PRO to adjust its time configuration, the previously mentioned events will be captured.

IP Configuration
The Ethernet connection can be configured in two ways, Static IP or DHCP configurations.
If there is a DHCP server running on your local network, the DHCP setting should be selected in the
relays settings page, Section 6.2.6Error! Reference source not found.. Alternatively if you wish to
manually configure a static IP address, this can also be adjusted in the settings page.
DHCP: Requires no further user configuration.
Static IP: Requires the user to manually set up the required network parameters. These include
IP address, subnet mask and gateway address. These are typically specified by your network
administrator.
Connection to the ELV-PRO’s internal web server requires access to a web browser on a connected PC
or GUI that has access to HTTP port 80. Network settings will need to be configured correctly to
successfully connect to the ELV-PRO web server. If there are multiple ELV-PRO relays used on a single
network switch, initial configuration through a dedicated connection may be required before you can
access through a network switch.
NOTE
Minimum recommended browser versions for full functionality: Microsoft
Internet Explorer 9, Google Chrome 20, Apple Safari 5 (or Mobile Safari
from iOS 6), Mozilla Firefox 13, Opera 12.

graph of the past 30 seconds. The graphs in this tab are refreshed every second; provided the Live
Update button (Item 2 of Figure 6-3) is activated (default is ON). With the Live Update button disabled
the plot is static which can allow for better inspection of the data shown using the interactive features of
the plots (described in Section 6.2.8). The buttons above the graphs (item 1 of Figure 6-3) allow the
graph to alternate between the three possible options. These are:
OSC (Oscilloscope) graph: Plots the instantaneous values of earth leakage current measured by
the ELV-PRO. At every update, it displays the last 80ms of data. Figure 6-4.
RMS graph: In this view, Root Mean Square (RMS) values of the measured current are shown.
The user is able to select the time interval on the graph by selecting from the buttons below the
graph. Figure 6-3.
FFT graph: This plot shows the frequency content of the past 80ms worth of instantaneous
measurements. Figure 6-5.
For information on navigating the interactive graphs see Section 6.2.8. There is also a Help button below
the plots, item 4 of Figure 6-4, which allows access to online help information.

NOTE
The protection system constantly injects a CT test signal into the CT
every two seconds. As such, the earth leakage graph will record a small
non-zero value, even when the outlet is de-energised. This confirms
that the Earth Leakage detection is operational.

6.2.3 Data Logs Tab
The Data Logs tab is similar to the Live Graphs tab, in that it allows inspection of measured earth
leakage currents. However, in this tab, historic measurements from data logs stored on the ELV-PRO
relay are shown.
Each data log is centred on a trip or log event (i.e. the log covers the two seconds before and two
seconds after the log initiation, making the command instant at the centre of the graph).
Once a particular log is selected from the list (Item 1 of Figure 6-6) in the drop down menu, OSC, RMS
and FFT views are available as they are in the Live Graph tab.
The RMS view (Figure 6-8) is calculated using a running window of 300 data points.
The FFT graph (Figure 6-9) corresponds to the selected 80ms of signal. A small oscilloscope plot of the
signal (item 2 of Figure 6-9) is provided to indicate where in the recording the data is being analysed.
Use the slider below the plot to select another window within the recording.
Data logs can also be downloaded by clicking on the ‘Download Log’ button. This will export the data in
an Ampcontrol proprietary format.

7 SERVICE, MAINTENANCE & DISPOSAL
Equipment Service
A number of external system based checks should be completed on a regular basis. These ‘routine
inspections’ must be carried out by suitably trained people with knowledge of the ELV-PRO and the
systems into which it is fitted. Routine inspections may take the form of either visual-only checks, or
visual and ‘hands-on’ checks.
7.1.1 Visual Only Inspections
A basic visual inspection focuses on looking at the installation for signs of physical damage, water or
dust ingress and the condition of cables and labels. This type of inspection may involve opening
cabinets to gain access to the relay and other equipment. This level of inspection may also include
cleaning display windows that have become obscured by dirt.
Observations would typically be:
Check that equipment enclosures, cable trays, conduits, etc. are in good order with no physical
damage.
Check that sealed wall boxes are free from water and dust ingress internally. Door seals are in
good condition.
Check that connected cables are free from cuts, abrasions and obvious signs of damage. Cable
restraints are in good order and correctly fitted.
Check that labels on equipment, wall boxes and cables are present and in good condition
(especially certification labels).
Check that no modifications have been carried out to installed equipment.
7.1.2 Hands-On (Detailed) Inspections
A more detailed inspection would include all of the elements of a visual inspection, plus some checks
that cover the integrity of connections, fixtures and fittings.
In addition to basic visual observations, more detailed integrity checks would involve:
Verify that equipment housings, wall boxes and other mechanical fixtures are secured in place.
This includes terminal box lids, tightness of cable glands, integrity of wall-box mountings, security
of equipment fixing to walls/DIN rails etc.
Verify all electrical connections are secure with no loose screw terminals or DIN rail terminals not
fitted to rails etc.
7.1.3 Electrical Testing / Commissioning
Prior to being put into service, the electrical protection system must be correctly commissioned. This
manual does not cover system commissioning; the scope of commissioning tests should be
determined during the risk assessment or FMEA covering the design of the electrical protection
system.
The following points can provide guidance on checking the correct operation of ELV-PRO during
commissioning. This is not intended to provide an exhaustive commissioning checklist, but should be
considered to be a minimum.
Ensure that the system is connected in accordance with the manufactures’ instructions, and
conforms to the intended design.
In the case of monitoring the NER circuit, ensure that no alternate earth paths exist that bypass
the NER.

Perform an earth leakage test by injecting a current through the primary (window) of the EL toroid
and verify that the unit behaves as expected and that when it trips it also operates the intended
circuit breaking device.
The ADC settings should be calibrated through the web server interface on each installation or
routine maintenance.
Equipment Maintenance
WARNING!
The ELV-PRO has no user-serviceable parts.
All repairs must be carried out by Ampcontrol only.
If a fault develops, return the unit to Ampcontrol for repair. It is essential
that no attempt be made to repair the unit as any attempt to
dismantle or repair the unit can seriously compromise the safety of
the unit and voids product warranty.
It is recommended that the electrical protection system incorporating the ELV-PRO be subject to regular
functional tests at intervals determined by risk assessment of FMEA. These intervals typically coincide
with periodic maintenance checks and will cover (but not limited to) tests such as earth continuity tests.

APPENDIX A: MINING EARTH LEAKAGE PROTECTION WITH
VARIABLE SPEED DRIVES
The mining working environment presents a range of unique challenges for electrical distribution
systems due to the equipment used and associated hazards. As such, various protection schemes have
evolved to prevent damage to equipment and injury to personnel. In particular, these include:
a) Earth fault current limitation, usually consisting of a resistor connected between the supply
transformer star point and earth, commonly referred to as a Neutral Earthing Resistor (NER).
b) Earth continuity monitoring devices.
c) Earth leakage protection devices.
d) Earth fault lockout protection.
As described in Appendix C of AS/NZS 4871.1:2012, the protection scheme is
Intended to ensure that when persons are exposed to touch potentials, the level of voltage
and time exposed before protection systems trip is limited to an acceptable level
The acceptable levels are given in Figure C1 of the standard for 50 Hz touch voltages.
CAUTION!
Relays designed to operate on earth fault limited systems are not
suitable for direct personal protection.
These protection systems were originally devised to protect against touch potential hazards cause by
earth fault currents driven by the power supply (50 Hz). Consider, for example, that an earth fault occurs
in a mobile machine powered by a trailing cable. The earth fault current will flow through the fault to the
machine frame and return to the supply transformer star point via the trailing cable earth conductors. The
voltage drop caused will result in a potential rise above earth on the frame, presenting a touch potential
hazard. As described in AS/NZS 4871.1:2012 the system assessment must determine the earth fault
limitation current that will protect people based on the achievable earth leakage clearance times and
knowledge of the system in which it is installed.
A1 Variable Speed Drives
Variable speed drives (VSDs) are now finding wide use in mining applications. Most of these drives use variable
frequency outputs that are produced by rectifying the supply to dc and then inverting this voltage back into ac using
a high frequency carrier and pulse width modulation (PWM) to produce variable frequency currents in the motor.
They complicate the situation in several ways:
1) VSDs introduce a new and complex voltage source into the power system. This may mean that earth faults
can now be direct current (dc) in nature or may be driven by the inverter of the drive and so have a
frequency that is primarily that of the drive PWM carrier frequency (1000Hz for example).
2) To minimise interference with protection and control systems, many drives employ electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC or EMI) filters that consist primarily of a capacitive circuit between the input of the drive
and earth. This provides a path for the earth currents that represents an alternative path to the NER, as
shown in the figure below. In fact, it is the intention of the filter to provide this alternative path for the high
frequency currents that flow (through the motor and cable stray capacitances) to earth under normal
conditions. They will also provide an alternative path under fault conditions, particularly if the fault is driven
by the high switching frequency drive output.
It has also been shown that when one or more drives and filters are in use, and an earth fault occurs, there
can be circulating currents between the drives and filters and/or the fault location. The fault current
magnitudes may then greatly exceed the nominal current limitation value (typically 5A) determined by the
NER. These large currents may cause touch potentials that greatly exceed the expected values.

3) Most earth leakage protection relays approved for use in mining applications are designed to detect 50 Hz
currents, not dc or high frequency currents so the relays may not trip, or if they do trip they may take longer
than expected.
The overall result is that with standard earth leakage protection relays and electrical system assessments based
only on consideration of faults driven by the supply system (50 Hz), protection performance is unlikely to be
adequate when variable speed drives are used in mining applications.

A2 Improving Protection
The design of earth leakage relays used in mining applications in Australia and New Zealand must comply with
AS/NZS 2081. The latest version of this standard (AS/NZS 2081:2011) better recognises that system protection
needs to be assessed in accordance with AS/NZS 4871.1:2010 and with the changes in the mining electrical
environment.
The following extracts from AS/NZS 2081:2011 provide some key statements of interest:
1.1 Scope
Whereas this standard is based upon 50 Hz supply systems, it is envisaged that the equipment
described may also be installed in systems with higher, lower or variable frequencies, or in dc supplied
systems.
AS/NZS 60479, Part 1 and 2 should be referenced for consideration of the effects at other supply
frequencies upon the human body.
Appendix B:
The diversity of operating conditions and equipment addressed by this Standard precludes reliance
solely on explicitly prescribed trip levels or fault current levels, and their duration, in order to ensure a
safe working environment. Rather, the onus is placed on the system designer to ensure appropriate
touch voltage/operating times when integrating the protection devices addressed by this Standard.
B2 Voltage/duration Thresholds
Design criteria for the protection devices have been chosen to enable compliance to the touch
voltage/operating times for systems operating at 50 Hz as described by Figure B1.
B3 Systems at other than 50 Hz Cyclic Frequency
Where equipment is installed and operated within systems at other than a constant 50 Hz cyclic
frequency, the characteristics in paragraph B2 are not immediately applicable. In such instances,
individual calculation to determine requirements at the frequency or frequencies in question will be
required.
Standards AS/NZS 60479.1 and AS/NZS 60479.2 should be referenced in relation to the effects upon
the human body of other supply frequencies.
What this means is that when VSDs (or other non 50Hz sources) are used in a mining electrical system then the
standard approach needs to be interpreted to ensure that protection is adequate. The key factors to consider are
as follows:
1) The sensitivity of the human body to electric shock varies with frequency. In general, for a given exposure
time, the allowable touch voltage magnitude increases with frequency. For example, at 10 kHz, the “let go”
voltage is about 5 times that level at 50 Hz.
2) When EMC filters are used, this forms a path for earth currents alternative to the NER. When considering
touch potentials at a mobile machine for example, strictly speaking the impedance of the filter at the
frequency of interest should be examined in order to determine the earth fault current that will flow when a
fault occurs in the machine. The earth leakage trip time must then be used to ensure that the touch voltage
and exposure time guarantee a safe system. Care must be taken when multiple filters are connected to a
single supply, as this presents many modes of possible earth fault that need to be considered and actual
earth fault currents may exceed the current seen by any single filter.
3) An earth leakage relay must be able to accurately sense earth fault currents of any frequency from dc to
the maximum frequency of interest.
It can be seen that this is not a trivial matter and it is likely that the industry will need to adapt to this new and
complex environment.

APPENDIX B: ELV-PRO CURRENT TRANSFORMERS
B1 Earth Leakage Toroids
Toroids (current transformers) are not ideal devices and if correct procedures are not followed during
installation nuisance tripping can result. Consider, for example, a single-phase earth leakage system
where active and neutral pass through a toroid then at all times currents in the two wires are equal and
opposite so that the net current through the toroid is zero. An ideal toroid would have all of the flux from
each wire contained in the core and so would accurately add the opposing fluxes to get a net result of
zero. A real toroid has “leakage fluxes”. That is, a very small proportion of the total flux from each cable
is not contained in the core but in the space outside it and as a result it may link some turns but not
others, depending on the positioning of the cables. The effect of this is that a small output may be
obtained from the toroid where none would arise if the device were ideal.
The size of the error may vary from toroids of the same type because of slight differences in the core and
the symmetry of the winding. Problems caused in this way increase as the toroid size increases, as
currents increase and symmetry decreases. Nuisance tripping tends to occur when the total current
rises, such as when a large motor is started. The following guidelines would help to avoid such
problems.
B2 Toroid selection
1. Select the smallest internal diameter toroid, which will allow the cables to fit through. Avoid very
large toroids (>200mm aperture) or toroids with square apertures.
2. Only use approved toroids specified by Ampcontrol as these have been designed to minimise
problems.
B3 Toroid installation guidelines
1. Keep cables as close to the center of the toroid as possible. Do not tie them to one side of the
toroid. Remember to aim for symmetry.
2. Do not bring the cables back past the toroid within one diameter of the toroid. Trying to cram
cables into a small space reduces symmetry and may lead to problems.
3. Avoid placing the toroid near any device that produces magnetic fields. This includes bus bars,
transformers or other cables. Try to maintain several toroid diameters clearance.
4. Many small cables tend to be worse than say, three large ones. Try to position the toroid in the
circuit with this in mind.
5. Toroids used for core balance earth leakage protection cannot have bus bars passed through
them.
6. To prevent possible nuisance tripping it is suggested that the conductor screen of the earth
leakage toroid should be earthed at one end only, the relay end. If both ends are earthed the
possibility exists for the shield to become an earth loop, having finite resistance and injecting

C5 EVENT LOGS
The ELV-PRO stores the last 50 events. The events are stored from new to old; as a new event is
created an old event is deleted (provided that the 50 event spaces are full). To allow the PLC to access
these events, the ELV-PRO presents them as 5 instances, each containing 10 encoded event structures.
Instance 1 contains the most recent event logs (with the first attribute containing the most recent event
log). All events stored within an instance can be read using the ‘Get_Attributes_All’ service as described
below.

D4 Uint16 Encoded String
To help with efficient data transfer, all strings transmitted via Modbus have been ‘compressed’ to contain
two characters per 16bit word, with the upper byte containing the first character and the lower byte
containing the second character. The characters themselves are encoded using the ASCII encoding
standard and are terminated with a NULL character. Note: data returned after the NULL character should
be ignored as its value is undefined.
Eg the string ‘Hello’ will be encoded as
0x4865, 0x6c6c, 0x6f00

APPENDIX E: ELV-PRO Default Settings
The following settings are considered the factory default settings. Default settings will be utilised on an
ELV-PRO that is booted with no dongle installed or when booted with a brand new dongle installed. If the
ELV-PRO is booted with a brand new dongle installed, settings will not be saved to the dongle until a
setting is modified. When a brand new dongle is installed into a powered and running ELV-PRO, the
dongle will only be updated once a setting is modified.
If a dongle has been configured or has been initialised from another ELV-PRO, then the settings may not
match those in the table below. If a dongle is removed when in operation the settings will not be altered.
WARNING!
Ampcontrol recommends the user review the configured settings before
operating equipment.
