Didactum AC/DC current measuring transformer
Didactum AC/DC current measuring transformer
AC/DC Current Transducer: AC Voltage

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.

Didactum Small AC Current Transformer
Didactum Small AC Current Transformer

Compact Hall Effect Probe for Smaller AC Circuits The Didactum Small AC Current Transformer probe is a simple open-loop Hall effect AC current transducer (open-loop ammeter) in a particularly compact design that measures current on a conductor contactlessly without disconnecting it. The cable to be measured is passed through the opening of the ring-shaped transducer; the probe converts the measured AC current into a proportional 0–5 V DC output signal. This article refers to the AC-50 model with a rated current of 50 A and a measuring range of 0–50 A — ideal for individual circuits, outgoing feeders, and smaller to medium-sized loads. ⚠️ Important note: The Didactum Small AC Current Transformer probe measures the current on the conductor, but it cannot transmit the measurement signal to a monitoring system on its own. You also need the Didactum AC Current Transformer, part no. DI14030-AC, which acts as a transceiver, receives the probe’s 0–5 V signal, and forwards it via an analog port (A1…A8) to the Didactum monitoring system. Without the DI14030-AC, no display, analysis, or alarm notification of the measured values is possible. Design Current Probe Design The current probe consists of a compact ring-shaped transducer head with a pass-through opening and a 3-pin connection terminal. 1 Pass-through opening The cable to be measured is routed through the opening in the ring-shaped compact transducer core. The probe measures the current contactlessly via the magnetic field that is generated. 2 Mounting tabs Two mounting tabs on the housing used to secure the probe with screws and nuts. 3 3-pin connection terminal (pitch 3.81 mm) Three-pin terminal for wiring to the Didactum AC Current Transformer DI14030-AC. Pin assignment: + (+12 V DC supply), G (Ground), M (0–5 V measurement signal). ℹ️ Note on confusion: The AC-50 probe has a 3-pin terminal (+, G, M). The larger K6A model for higher currents uses a 4-pin terminal (G, M, G, +). When connecting, make sure the wires are assigned correctly according to the terminal labeling. Installation Mounting and Connection The current probe and the Didactum AC Current Transformer (DI14030-AC) are installed together. 1 Mount the probe Secure the current probe in a suitable location with screws and nuts. Route the cable to be measured through the probe’s pass-through opening. 2 Wiring to current transformer DI14030-AC Connect the 3 wires of the terminal (+, G, M) to the 3-pin input terminal of the Didactum AC Current Transformer (DI14030-AC) according to the wiring assignment. 3 Connect to the monitoring system Connect the Didactum AC Current Transformer (DI14030-AC) to a free analog port (A1…A8) of the Didactum monitoring system or an 8-port sensor expansion unit using an RJ11 cable. ⚠️ Safety instructions: The regulations applicable to installation in the respective country and the relevant accident prevention regulations must be observed, as well as internal company work, operating, and safety regulations. The specified technical limits, especially insulation voltage and ambient temperature range, must under no circumstances be exceeded. Before installation, check the maximum permissible conductor diameter and the maximum insulation voltage of the probe. Web interface Full Control over Thresholds, Trends, and Automation Via the Didactum AC Current Transformer (DI14030-AC), the probe integrates seamlessly into the Didactum web interface.

Wide operating rangeDesigned for ambient temperatures from -10 °C to +70 °C. Made in EUDeveloped and manufactured in the European Union. FAQ Frequently Asked Questions For which current range is this model suitable? This model (AC-50) has a rated current of 50 A and covers a measuring range of 0–60 Aac. Make sure the maximum expected operating current of the conductor being monitored stays safely within this range. How does this probe differ from the larger K6A probe? The AC-50 probe is more compact and uses a 3-pin terminal (+, G, M), while the K6A probe for higher currents uses a 4-pin terminal (G, M, G, +). Both probes require the Didactum current transformer (AC version) as the transceiver to the monitoring system. Can the current probe be connected directly to the monitoring system? No. The probe outputs a 0–5 V analog signal and absolutely requires the Didactum AC Current Transformer (DI14030-AC) as a transceiver, which transfers this signal to an analog port of the monitoring system. Is the DI14030-AC included in the scope of delivery? No. The Didactum AC Current Transformer DI14030-AC is a separate product and must be ordered additionally if not already available. Does the conductor have to be cut open for installation? No. The current probe measures contactlessly via the magnetic field of the conductor routed through the pass-through opening. Cutting the conductor is not necessary for the measurement itself. Can multiple current probes be used at the same time? Yes. Each circuit to be monitored requires its own AC-50 current probe with its own Didactum AC Current Transformer (DI14030-AC) connected to a free analog port. If the available ports are not sufficient, the number can be expanded using a VT408 expansion unit. Questions about the Didactum Small AC Current Transformer probe?

The cable to be measured is passed through the opening of the ring-shaped transducer; the transducer converts the measured AC current into a proportional 0–5V DC output signal. This article refers to the AC-100 model with a rated current of 100A and a measurement range of 0–100 A — ideal for monitoring individual circuits, feeders, and medium loads. ⚠️ Important note: Although the Didactum AC current transducer measures the current on the line, it cannot transmit the measurement signal to a monitoring system by itself. The additionally required component is the Didactum current transducer in the AC version, part no. DI14030-AC, which acts as a transceiver, receives the 0–5V signal from the current transducer, and forwards it to the Didactum monitoring system via an analog port (A1…A8). Without the DI14030-AC, no display, analysis, or alarm notification of the measured values is possible. Design Design of the Current Transducer The current transducer consists of a ring-shaped transducer head with a passage opening and a 4-pin connection terminal. 1 Passage opening (Ø 21 mm) The cable to be measured is routed through this opening in the ring-shaped toroidal transducer core. The transducer measures the current contactlessly via the magnetic field generated. 2 Mounting tabs Two mounting tabs on the housing used to secure the transducer with screws and nuts. 3 4-pin connection terminal (3.81 mm pitch) Four-pole terminal block for wiring to the Didactum current transducer DI14030-AC. Pin assignment: G (Ground), M (0–5V measurement signal), G (Ground), + (+12V DC supply). Installation Mounting and Connection The current transducer and the Didactum current transducer (DI14030-AC) are installed together. 1 Mount the transducer Secure the current transducer in a suitable location using screws and nuts. Route the cable to be measured through the transducer's passage opening. 2 Wiring to the DI14030-AC current transducer Connect the 4 wires of the connection terminal (G, M, G, +) to the 3-pin input terminal of the Didactum current transducer (DI14030-AC, AC version) according to the wiring assignment. 3 Connect to the monitoring system Connect the Didactum current transducer (DI14030-AC) via RJ11 cable to a free analog port (A1…A8) of the Didactum monitoring system or an 8-port sensor expansion unit. ⚠️ Safety instructions: Comply with the applicable installation regulations in the respective country as well as the relevant accident prevention regulations, together with internal company work, operating, and safety rules. The specified technical limits, especially insulation voltage, passage diameter, and ambient temperature range, must under no circumstances be exceeded. Before installation, check the maximum permissible cable diameter and the maximum insulation voltage of the transducer. Web interface Full Control of Thresholds, Trends, and Automation Via the Didactum current transducer (DI14030-AC), the current transducer integrates seamlessly into the Didactum web interface.

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