2.1 Introduction

SCTxxxx | Current transformers (CT) for energy measurement
Fig.1: SCT current transformers
With its SCT current transformers, Beckhoff makes it possible to implement reliable power sensor technology in the field, which is directly integrated into the PC-based control system. Users can select from two device concepts, each with various designs and performance categories that are highly scalable and therefore suitable for any application. The SCT portfolio is extremely broad-based, ranging from low-cost 3-phase CT sets for building technology to standard industrial transformers for machines through to solutions for inspection and test stands with extra-high accuracy requirements.
The choice of the suitable product category [}12] depends on the type of use. While ring-type CTs are predestined for cost-effective and accurate data acquisition in new installations, split-core CTs provide the ideal solution for retrofit solutions due to their easy installation.

2.2 Basics current transformers

Function and design
A current transformer is a transforming device that transforms an input current into a processable current signal at the output. A current transformer is mainly used to transform currents of large magnitudes to directly measurable, smaller values in the milliampere or small ampere range. With a classic current transformer, the input current is proportional to the output current. Due to the physical principle and the mechanical construction, the current signal is transmitted galvanically isolated to the evaluation electronics.
A current transformer basically consists of a small number of windings on the primary side and a larger number of windings on the secondary side. The current to be converted flows through the primary side. The windings are usually wound on an alternating magnetic ferrite ring core.
A typical transformer type is the ring core or ring-type current transformer. The current rail or current-carrying cable is often used as the primary winding, which is guided through the toroidal core of the transformer. Thus, the rail or line forms the primary winding with one turn. The secondary winding is located on the ring core. The transformation is determined by the ratio of the number of primary and secondary windings. The classic structure of a ring-type current transformer is shown in the following figure.
Fig.2: Principle ring-type current transformer
Another classic type is the coiled current transformer. In this type of transformer, the primary winding is a current-carrying wire which is wound around the ring core on the primary side. In this case, the primary winding number is >1, but smaller than the secondary winding number. The principle is shown in the following figure
Fig.3: Principle coil current transformer
SCT2xxx 9Version: 1.3
Product overview
WARNING
Dangerous voltages with secondary side not connected
The secondary winding must be connected to a current measuring device or short-circuited, otherwise high core losses or dangerous voltages may occur on the secondary side. Before replacing the measuring elec­tronics in the secondary circuit, the current transformer must therefore be short-circuited at its secondary terminals.
Grounding of secondary terminals
According to DIN VDE 0141 (01/2000) paragraph 5.3.4, current and voltage transformers for nomi­nal voltages from Um = 3.6 kV must be grounded on the secondary side. For low voltages (Um ≤
1.2 kV), grounding is not required if the transformer housings do not have any metal surfaces with large contact areas.
Characteristic values and calculation
In principle, the construction, and thus also the calculation, correspond to a normal transformer. The basic relationship between input and output current is determined by the ratio of the number of turns N of the primary and secondary sides. An important characteristic value in the design of a current transformer is therefore the transformer ratio.

Technical terms of current transformers
Term Explanation
Primary rated current Ipr
Value of the rated current on the primary side.
(alternative formula symbol IN)
Secondary rated current I
Rated power S
r
sr
Value of the rated current on the secondary side. Value of apparent power (in [VA]) that the transformer can deliver
to the secondary circuit at secondary rated current and rated load.
Rated frequency f
R
Value of the rated frequency.
Accuracy class Indication that the measurement deviations are within specified
limits under prescribed application conditions.
Rated insulation level U
m
Maximum voltage; RMS value of the highest conductor-to­conductor voltage for which a instrument transformer is rated with respect to its insulation.
Specified is the value of the rated insulation level in three values:
1. maximum value of the conductor-to-conductor voltage for which the isolation of the transducers is rated;
2. value of the rated AC voltage (50 Hz, 1 min) with which the insulation safety of the equipment is tested
3. value of the surge voltage level (this specification is mostly unoccupied here, since IEC 61869/1 only requires a specification for transformers with a conductor-to-conductor voltage of >1.2 kV)
Overcurrent limiting factor (FS) Ratio of the rated limiting current to the primary rated current.
Thermal rated continuous current I
Value of the continuous current in the primary winding at which the
cth
overtemperature does not exceed the value specified in the standard, with the secondary winding loaded with the rated load.
Rated short-time thermal current IthValue of short-time current for a limited time in the primary winding
at which the excess temperature does not exceed the value specified in the standard, with the secondary winding loaded with the rated load.
Rated impulse current I
dyn
Maximum value of the primary current, the electromagnetic force effect of which does not cause any electrical and mechanical damage to the current transformer with short-circuited secondary winding.
“Open voltage" of current transformers
Current transformers which are not directly connected to a load must be short-circuited on the secondary side for safety reasons!
A current transformer operated open on the secondary side induces very high peak voltage values at its secondary terminals. The magnitudes of these voltages can reach values of up to several kilovolts, depending on the dimensioning of the current transformer, and thus represent a danger to persons and the functional safety of the transformer. For safety reasons, and to avoid magnetization of the core iron during secondary-side open operation, open operation should generally be avoided.
Grounding of secondary terminals According to DIN VDE 0141 (01/2000) paragraph 5.3.4, current and
voltage transformers for nominal voltages from Um = 3.6 kV must be grounded on the secondary side. For low voltages (Um ≤ 1.2 kV), grounding is not required if the transformer housings do not have any metal surfaces with large contact areas.

2.4 Notes on class accuracy SCT transformers

Current transformers are divided into classes according to their accuracy. The Beckhoff SCT current transformers are available in the standard accuracy classes 0.5; 1 and 3, depending on the product category. The class designation corresponds to an error curve with regard to current amplitude and angular error. Beckhoff SCT current transformers conform to the IEC 61869 standard.
The accuracy classes of current transformers are related to the rated current. If current transformers are operated with a current that is low in relation to the rated current, the measuring accuracy decreases. The following tables show the fault limit values taking into account the rated current values:
Class accuracy Current error (±) in % at % of rated current
5 % 20 % 50 % 100 % 120 %
0,5 1,5 % 0,75 % - 0,5 % 0,5 %
1 3,0 % 1,5 % - 1,0 % 1,0 %
3 - - 3 % - 3 %
Class accuracy Phase shift/error angle (±) at % of rated current
Angular minutes [ ´ ] Radians [rad]
5 % 20 % 50 % 100 % 120 % 5 % 20 % 50 % 100 % 120 %
0,5 90‘ 45‘ - 30‘ 30‘ 2,7 rad 1,35 rad - 0,9 rad 0,9 rad

Adjusting the transducer rating
In order to use the optimum accuracy of the transducer, you must ensure a suitable transducer rat­ing in your application through the wiring between the transducer and the measuring terminal. This is done by using 0.25 to 1.0 times the rated power of the transducer.
Additional resistors in the secondary path can be used to match the transducer and measuring ter­minal to each other.

DANGER
Open transformer circuits lead to electric shock and arc flashover!
Disregarding this will result in death, physical injury or considerable damage to property!
• Never open the secondary circuit of the current transformer under load.
• Short-circuit the secondary current terminals of the current transformer before removing the device.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage can lead to electric shock and burns!
• Make sure that the details on the name plate and in the "Technical data" correspond to the operating pa­rameters of the system.
• Switch the system off before commencing with the installation!
WARNING
Induction of high voltages into the secondary circuit!
• If the secondary circuit of the current transformer is not under load (open), high voltages are induced on its secondary terminals. The voltage values occurring there represent a danger to persons and the func­tional safety of the current transformer.
• "Open operation", i.e. operation of the current transformer without secondary wiring, must be avoided at all costs.
• Make sure that the working environment is safe during assembly, maintenance and installation work.
Interrupt the power supply of the primary conductor and secure against being switched on again inadvertently.
• Install the current transformer on the primary conductor.
• To do this, feed the primary conductor (copper bar or round conductor) through the window aperture of
the current transformer housing. The window aperture is marked with "K-P1" or "L-P2" respectively.
• The device can be fastened directly to the primary conductor or alternatively to a mounting plate. Use
the fastening materials included in the scope of delivery for this.
• Direct fastening to the primary conductor is done by screwing the fastening screws included in the
accessories pack into the screw bosses on the transformer housing or with the optionally available quick-fix cable fastening (ZB8203-0210/ZB8203-0211 [}49]).
• Mounting on a mounting plate takes place with the base brackets also included in the accessories
pack.
• Current transformers of the types SCT21xx and SCT22xx can also be fastened to 35 mm DIN rails by
means of a snap-on mounting (ZB8201-0210 [}49]), which is available as an accessory.
• Make the secondary connections. Observe the markings "k-S1" and "l-S2" of the secondary terminals.

WARNING
WARNING: Risk of electric shock!
Bring the Bus Terminal system into a safe, voltage-free state before starting mounting, disassembly or wiring of the Bus Terminals!
NOTE
Attention! Risk of device damage!
Avoid confusing the current and voltage circuit during connection, since the direct connection of mains volt­age to the terminal points for the current transformers (typical input resistance 100mΩ) would destroy the power measurement terminal!
EL3443
• The voltage is measured via connections L1, L2, L3 and N.
• The current is measured via three current transformers (e.g. from the Beckhoff SCT series) and the
connections IL1, IL2, IL3 and IN (star point of the current transformers).
Fig.35: EL3443, power measurement at a machine
**) PE as star point for 3-phase systems without neutral line
Depending on the current transformers used, PE must be connected as star point in 3-phase sys­tems without neutral line as shown in Fig. “EL3443, power measurement at a machine ".
Observe the regulations of the manufacturer of the current transformers!
Negative power values
If negative power values are measured on a circuit, please check whether the associated current transformer circuit is connected correctly.
EL3453
• The voltage is measured via connections L1, L2, L3 and N.
SCT2xxx50 Version: 1.3
Application example
• The current is measured via 4 current transformers (e.g. from the Beckhoff SCT series) and the
connections IL1, IL2, IL3 and IN (star point of the current transformers).
