3. Device overview
3.1 Brief description
The CENTRAX CU3000/CU5000 is a com pr ehens ive ins trument for the universal measurement and
monitoring in power systems , supplemented by a freely programmable control application based on
CODESYS. A full parameterization of all functions of the device is possible directly at the device (for
versions with display) or via web browser. The control application is created using the CODESYS
development environment, can access all measurement data of the device, process these values logically
and mathematically and pass the results via bus or analog or digital outputs.
Using additional, optional components the opportunities of the device may be extended. You may choose
from I/O extensions, communication interfaces and data logging. The PLC functionality is available in
three performance classes. The nameplates on the device give further details about the present version.
3.2 Available measurement data
The device provides measurements in the following subcategories:
a) Instantaneous values: Present TRMS values and associated min/max values
b) Energy: Power mean-values with trend and history as well as energy meters. With the data logger
option “periodical data” mean-value progressions (load profiles) and periodical meter readings are
available as well.
c) Harmonics: Total harmonic distortion THD/TDD, individual harmonics and their maximum values
d) Phasor diagram: Overview of all current and voltage phasors and phase sequence check
e) Waveform of current and voltage inputs
f) Events: Disturbance recordings if the corresponding option is implemented.
Please ensure that the operating temperature limits are not exceeded when
determining the place of mounting (place of measurement).
4.1 CENTRAX CU3000
► The CU3000 is designed for panel mounting
Dimensional drawing CU3000:

Mounting of the device
The device is suitable for panel widths up to 8mm.
a) Slide the device into the cutout from
the outside
b) From the side slide in the mounting
clamps into the intended openings and
pull them back about 2 mm
c) Tighten the fixation screws until the
device is tightly fixed with the panel
Demounting of the device
The demounting of the device may be performed only if all connected wires are out of service. Remove all
plug-in terminals and all connections of the current and voltage inputs. Pay attention to the fact, that
current transformers must be shortened before removing the current connections to the device. Then
demount the device in the opposite order of mounting.
Ensure under all circumstances that the leads are free of potential
when connecting them!
5.1 General safety notes
Please observe that the data on the type plate must be adhered to!
The national provisions have to be observed in the installation and material selection of electric lines,
e.g. in Germany VDE 0100 “Conditions concerning the erection of heavy current facilities with rated
voltages below 1000 V”!
All voltage measurement inputs must originate at circuit breakers or fuses rated 5 Amps or
The connection of the inputs depends on the configured system (connection type).
less. This does not apply to the neutral connector. You have to provide a method for
manually removing power from the device, such as a clearly labeled circuit breaker or a
fused disconnect switch.
When using voltage transformers you have to ensure that their secondary connections
never will be short-circuited.
No fuse may be connected upstream of the current measurement inputs!
When using current transformers their secondary connectors must be short-circuited
during installation and before removing the device. Never open the secondary circuit under
load.
A marked and easily accessible curr en t limiting switch has to be arranged in the vicinity of
the device for turning off the power supply. Fusing should be 10 Amps or less and must be
rated for the available voltage and fault current.
5.6 Relays
When the device is switched off the relay contacts are de-energized, but dangerous
voltages may be present.
Relays are available for device versions with corresponding I/O extensions only.

Recommended if input impedance of counter > 100 kΩ
Driving a counter mechanism
The width of the energy pulses can be selected within a range of 30 up to 250ms, but have to be adapted
to the external counter mechanism.
Electro mechanical meters typically need a pulse width of 50...100ms.
Electronic meters are partly capable to detect pulses in the kHz range. There are two types: NPN (active
negative edge) and PNP (active positive edge). For this device a PNP is required. The pulse width has to
be ≥ 30ms (acc. EN62053-31). The delay between two pulses has to be at least the puls e widt h. T he
smaller the pulse width, the higher the sensitivity to disturbances.
Switching frequency (S0) ≤ 20 Hz
Leakage current 0,01 mA
Voltage drop < 3 V
Load capacity 400 Ω … 1 MΩ
5.9 Analog outputs
Analog outputs are available for devices with corresponding I/O extensions only. See nameplate. Analog
outputs may be remote controlled.
CU3000 CU5000
Connection to an analog input card of a PLC or a control system
The device is an isolated measurement device. The individual outputs are galvanically connected, but the
modules are isolated from each other. To reduce the influence of disturbances shielded a twisted-pair
cables should be used. The shield should be connected to earth on both opposite ends. If there are
potential differences between the ends of the cable the shield should be earthed on one side only to
prevent from equalizing currents.
Under all circumstances consider as well appropriate remarks in the instruction manual of the system to
connect.
Use only transformers intended for this application

divergent specifications may damage the measurement in
CU3000
CU5000
The current transformers including the conductor isolation must guarantee in total a
reinforced or double insulation between the mains circuit connected on the primary
and the measuring inputs of the device
Only one measurement range may be connected per measuring channel!
The COM connectors of both measurement channels are internally connected.
For 2mA inputs a connection monitoring (breakage) is
signaled for the respective measurement channels if either the current transfomer is
disconnected or the connection to the transformer is interrupted.
Each fault current module provides two channels for monitoring differential or fault currents in earthed
AC current systems. In any case measurement has to be performed via suitable current transformers, a
direct measurement is not possible. The module is not suited for monitoring operating currents of normally
live conductors (L1, L2, L3, N).
Measurement ranges
Each channel provides two measurement ranges:
a) Measurement range 1A
• Application: Direct measurement of a fault or earth wire current
• Meas. transformer: Current transformer 1/1 bis 1000/1A; 0.2 up to 1.5VA;
Instrument security factor FS5
b) Measurement range2mA
• Application: Residual current monitoring (RCM)
• Meas. transformer: Residual current transformer 500/1 up to 1000/1A

(1) If the current transfomers for the fault current detection needs to be grounded on the secondary side
this has to be done via the COM connector.
(2) Note that all conductors have to cross the residual current transformer
in the same direction.
(3) A possible fault current flows through the protective
earth conductor (PE). It can only be detected if the PE
conductor is not routed through the residual current
transformer. If this cannot be avoided, e.g. due to using
a multi-wire cable with all conductors, the PE conductor
must be returned through the transformer.
(4) The cable or individual conductors should be routed through the
transformer as centered as possible in order to minimize
measurement errors.
(5) Neither the current transformers nor the measurement leads should be mounted or installed close to
strong magnetic fields. Measurement lines should also not be laid in parallel to power lines.
(6) For measurement range 1A only: The rated output of the transformer must be chosen that it is
reached when the rated secondary current (1A) flows. Consider that the burden of the transformer is
not only made up by the burden of the measurement input, but also by the resistance of the
measurement lines and the self-consumption of the transformer (copper losses).
A rated output selected too low leads to saturation losses in the transformer. The secondary
rated current can no longer be reached as the transformer reaches its limits before.
A rated output selected too high or an exceeding instrument security factor (>FS5) may cause
damage to the measuring inputs in case of overload.

In disturbed environments shielded cables must be used. Supply resistors (Rs) have to be present in bus
master (PC) interface. Stubs should be avoided when connecting the devices. A pure line network is ideal.
You may connect up to 32 Modbus devices to the bus. A proper operation requires that all devices
connected to the bus have equal communication settings (baud rate, transmission format) and unique
Modbus addresses.
The bus system is operated half duplex and may be extended to a maximum length of 1200 m without
repeater.
5.12 Uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
The battery pack for the uninterruptible power supply is supplied separately. Please note that compared to
the storage temperature range of the base unit the storage temperature range of the battery pack is
restricted.

Replace battery pack with a battery pack of the same type only. Use of another
battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.
The optional GPS connection module serves for connecting a GPS receiver as a very accurate time
synchronization source for the measurement device. The GPS receiver, available as an accessory, is
used as outdoor antenna to process data from multiple GPS satellites simultaneously.

no. 181‘131), offered as an accessory. This device
is preconfigured by us and provides the required
time information (sentences) without further
configuration effort .
• Protection: IPx7 (waterproof)
• Operating temperature: -30…80°C
• Storage temperature: -40…80°C
• 1Hz pulse accuracy: 1μs
• Connector: RJ45
Choosing a mounting location
For a correct operation the GPS receiver requires data from at least 3 satellites at the same time.
Therefore position the receiver so that the clearest possible view of the sky and horizon in all direction is
obtained. This can be on the roof of a building, at best without reception being restricted by other
buildings or obstacles. Avoid mounting the receiver next to large areas of conductible material, as this
may cause poor signal reception. It should be also not closer than 1 meter away from any other antenna.
If lightning protection is required, this must be
provided by the user himself.
Mounting the GPS receiver
• The GPS receiver Garmi n G PS 16x -LVS
can be flush mounted by means of 3 M4
screws.
