Safety

This transducer must be used in limited-energy secondary circuits according to

IEC 61010-1.

This transducer must be used in electric/electronic equipment with respect to

applicable standards and safety requirements in accordance with the manufacturer’s
operating instructions.

Caution, risk of electrical shock

When operating the transducer, certain parts of the module can carry hazardous
voltage (eg. primary busbar, power supply).
Ignoring this warning can lead to injury and/or cause serious damage.
This transducer is a build-in device, whose conducting parts must be inaccessible
after installation.
A protective housing or additional shield could be used.
Main supply must be able to be disconnected.

Mechanical characteristics Remarks

● General tolerance ±0.2 mm ● IS is positive when IP flows in the direction of the arrow.
● Primary through-hole 12.7 × 7 mm ● Temperature of the primary conductor should not exceed
● Fastening & connection of secondary 3 pins 90 °C.
0.6 × 0.7 mm ● Installation of the transducer must be done unless
● Recommended PCB hole ⌀ 1.2 mm otherwise specified on the datasheet, according to LEM
Transducer Generic Mounting Rules. Please refer to
LEM document N°ANE120504 available on our Web site:
https://www.lem.com/en/file/3137/download.
● Dynamic performances (di/dt and delay time) are best
with a single bar completely filling the primary hole.
● In order to achieve the best magnetic coupling, the
primary windings have to be wound over the top edge of
the device.
● This is a standard model. For different versions (supply
voltages, turns ratios, unidirectional measurements...),
please contact us.
