Didactum PDU 8T

Current Measurement via Hall Effect Current Transformer Directly in the Monitoring System The Didactum current transformer transmits the current values measured by a Hall effect current transformer to a Didactum monitoring system. This analog plug-and-play converter is connected to any analog port (A1 to A8) of a Didactum monitoring system or expansion unit and works with Hall effect current transformers with a 0–5V output signal and 12V DC power supply. This article describes both available variants of the current transformer together: the AC variant for AC measurements and the DC variant for DC measurements. Both variants are identical in design, connection, and functionality, but differ in the type of external Hall effect current transformer they work with. The choice between AC and DC is made directly during the ordering process via the variant selection on this product page. Configuration Individually configurable: AC or DC The Didactum current transformer is already tailored during the ordering process to match the type of Hall effect current transformer already in use or planned. ⚠️ Please note: The correct variant must be actively selected above the shopping cart button under “Select variant”. The AC variant works only together with an AC Hall effect current transformer, while the DC variant works only together with a DC Hall effect current transformer. An incorrect combination will not provide correct measurement values. Select variant AC For monitoring AC current meters. Suitable for use with AC Hall effect current transformers for measuring alternating current. DC For monitoring DC current meters. Suitable for use with DC Hall effect current transformers for measuring direct current. Both variants are identical in connection, structure, and function; details can be found in the “Structure” section below. Structure Current transformer connections The current transformer has only a few, clearly separated connections for input, output, and the external current transformer. 1 Input: 3-pin terminal block 2.54 mm pitch. The external Hall effect current transformer is connected here using 3 wires (0–5V signal and 12V DC power supply). 2 Output: RJ11 6P4C Connects the current transformer via RJ11 cable to an analog port (A1 to A8) of the Didactum monitoring system or a VT408 expansion unit. The 12V DC power supply for the external Hall effect current transformer is provided by the Didactum monitoring system via the analog port and passed through by the current transformer to the current transformer sensor. A separate power supply for the current transformer sensor is not required. Required components Matching Hall effect current transformer required The Didactum current transformer cannot be operated on its own. It absolutely requires an external Hall effect current transformer with 0–5V output and 12V DC supply, which performs the actual current measurement on the line. HALL AC current transformer Open AC current transformer for alternating current, available for measurement ranges from 5 to 50 A. AC current transformer AC current transformer for higher alternating currents, available for measurement ranges from 50 to 500 A. DC current transformer DC current transformer for direct current, available for measurement ranges from 50 to 500 A. Alternatively, any other commercially available Hall effect current transformer with a suitable 0–5V output signal and 12V DC supply can also be used. Installation Install current transformer and sensor together The current transformer sensor and Didactum current transformer are installed together. 1 Mount the current transformer sensor Secure the Hall effect current transformer with screws and nuts. The line to be measured is guided through the aperture of the current transformer. 2 Connect to the monitoring system Connect one end of the RJ11 cable to a free analog port (A1 to A8) of the Didactum monitoring system and the other end to the RJ11 port of the current transformer. 3 Wire the current transformer sensor Connect the 3 wires to the Hall effect current transformer according to the wiring diagram using the 3-pin terminal block of the current transformer. ⚠️ Safety instructions: Observe the applicable regulations for installation in the respective country as well as the relevant accident prevention regulations, in addition to internal company work, operating, and safety rules. The specified technical limits, especially the permissible ambient temperature range, must not be exceeded under any circumstances. Also check the maximum insulation voltage of the current transformer sensor and the maximum permissible cable diameter of the line to be measured before installation.

Precise Probe for DC Current Measurement The Didactum DC current transformer probe is a simple, open-loop Hall-effect DC current transducer that measures direct current on a cable contactlessly, without interrupting it. The cable to be measured is routed through the opening of the ring-shaped transducer; the probe converts the measured DC current into a proportional 0–5V DC output signal. This article refers to the DC-100 model with a rated current of 100A and a measurement range of 0–100 A — ideal for monitoring battery systems, DC busbars, and DC distribution lines. ⚠️ Important note: The Didactum DC current transformer probe measures the current on the cable, but cannot transmit the measured signal to a monitoring system on its own. The Didactum current transducer in the DC version, item no. DI14030-DC, is additionally required as a transceiver. It receives the probe’s 0–5V signal and forwards it via an analog port (A1…A8) to the Didactum monitoring system. Without the DI14030-DC, no display, evaluation, or alarm notification of the measured values is possible. Design Design of the Current Measuring Probe The current measuring probe consists of a ring-shaped transducer head with a pass-through opening and a 4-pin terminal block. 1 Pass-through opening (Ø 21 mm) The DC cable to be measured is routed through this opening in the ring-shaped toroidal transducer core.

Make sure the maximum expected operating current of the monitored cable stays safely within this range. Can the current measuring probe be connected directly to the monitoring system? No. The probe provides a 0–5V analog signal and requires the Didactum current transducer in the DC version (DI14030-DC) as a transceiver to transmit this signal to an analog port of the monitoring system. Is DI14030-DC included in the package? No. The Didactum current transducer DI14030-DC is a separate product and must be ordered additionally unless already available. Does the cable need to be cut for installation? No. The current measuring probe measures contactlessly through the magnetic field of the cable routed through the pass-through opening. Cutting the cable is not required for measurement. Can multiple current measuring probes be used at the same time? Yes. Each DC circuit to be monitored requires its own DC-100 current measuring probe with its own Didactum current transducer (DI14030-DC) on a free analog port. If the available ports are not sufficient, the number can be increased using an 8-port sensor expansion unit. Is the probe also suitable for AC measurements? No. The Didactum DC current transformer probe is designed exclusively for direct current (DC). For AC measurements, a separate product is available that is combined with the AC version of the Didactum current transducer. Questions about the Didactum DC current transformer probe?
