Working Principle
- Three-phase voltage and current signals from power distribution cabinet access the internal isolation sampling circuit through wiring terminals
- Dedicated metering chip synchronously samples voltage and current waveforms, calculate power, power factor, frequency and other electrical parameters
- Convert measurement data into standard 4–20mA analog signals or digital bus signals to transmit to DCS system
- Compare real-time electrical parameters with user-set upper/lower limit thresholds, trigger alarm output once exceeding the limit
- Real-time detect abnormal sampling signals such as CT open circuit, PT voltage loss, light fault LED and upload fault information
Installation Requirements
- Install on standard 35mm DIN rail inside closed power distribution cabinet, protection grade ≥IP30
- Current transformer secondary wiring strictly prohibit open circuit during operation, wiring completed before power-on
- Three-phase voltage and current signal wiring use shielded wire, single-point shielding grounding
- Installed position away from high-current contactors and frequency converters, maintain more than 0.8m distance
- 24VDC auxiliary power supply independent fuse protection, rated fuse current 0.3A
Application Scenarios
- Thermal power plant auxiliary power distribution cabinet electrical parameter monitoring
- Hydropower station generator outlet cabinet three-phase power measurement
- Cogeneration plant boiler fan, water pump motor power monitoring
- Substation low-voltage power distribution cabinet multi-loop electrical monitoring
- Energy storage power station AC side power parameter real-time collection
Usage Precautions
- CT secondary wiring must connect short-circuit grounding terminal before disassembly to prevent high-voltage open circuit danger
- Do not connect AC high voltage exceeding 600VAC to voltage sampling terminals to avoid internal chip breakdown
- Regularly check wiring terminal screw tightness to prevent heating caused by loose contact
- When harmonic distortion rate of power grid exceeds 30%, increase signal filtering parameters through DCS configuration software
- Do not install in environment with conductive dust such as metal powder to avoid internal circuit short circuit
