Axioline F, power measurement module

Data sheet
107673_en_03 © PHOENIX CONTACT 2019-08-28

1 Description
The module is designed for use within an Axioline F station. Features
The power measurement module is used for direct
– 4 inputs, 0 A AC ... 5 A AC for phase currents and
measurement of AC currents up to 5 A, including neutral
neutral conductor current
conductor current and phase conductor voltages up to
400 V AC (phase to neutral conductor) or outer conductor – 3 inputs for outer conductor voltages up to 690 V AC,
voltages up to 690 V AC (phase to phase). supports direct connection
The module is used to perform analysis of AC networks. You – Harmonics analysis
can use it in distribution systems for measuring current, – Determination of maximum values
voltage, and power, as well as detecting distortion and – Power meter
harmonics. – Process data update < 500 µs
You can use the power measurement module in two
operating modes.
In “R.m.s. Values” mode, the module acquires mains
variables in three-phase mains. Mains variables are phase
currents, neutral conductor current, phase and outer
conductor voltages, real power, reactive power, and
apparent power as well as the power factors of phases,
energy flow directions, and frequency.
In "Instantaneous Values" mode, the module acquires the
instantaneous (scanning) values of a measuring signal. This
measuring mode is used to analyze the waveform of the
measuring signal.

WARNING: dangerous contact voltage

When working on the modules and wiring, always switch off the supply voltage and ensure it cannot be
switched on again.
Observe the safety notes in “Installation and startup”.
This data sheet is only valid in association with the UM EN AXL F SYS INST user manual.

17 Selecting the optimum current
transformer
This section provides information and examples for
selecting and dimensioning suitable current transformers.
This information is based on the “DB EN PACT Analog” data
sheet which documents the PACT MCR ... current
transformers from Phoenix Contact.
If using a current transformer or voltage
transducer, refer to the corresponding
documentation.
If using a PACT MCR ... current transformer
from Phoenix Contact, refer to the
corresponding DB EN PACT Analog data
sheet.
17.1 Procedure for selection
The technical specifications for the current transformer
required by the application must have been defined.
The next step is to determine the transformer type. The four
main current transformer characteristics are:
1. Primary rated current (primary current Ipn)
2. Secondary rated current (secondary current Isn)
3. Capacity (power) in VA
4. Accuracy (class)
Primary and secondary rated current
The selection of the current transformer primarily depends
on two factors:
– Primary rated current Ipn.
This can be up to 4000 A (depending on the type).
– Secondary rated current Isn.
This is either 1 A AC or 5 A AC at the output.
Secondary rated current Isn is identical to
nominal current IN as specified in the technical
data area under section “Current
measurement input”.
107673_en_03
AXL F PM EF 1F
Capacity (power) in VA
Special attention should be paid to the calculation of the
rated power. For optimum selection of the rated power of the
current transformer, add all occurring loads of the
measuring circuit:
– Power requirement of the copper cable
(Info: cable length x 2)
– Power requirement of the connected devices
– Reserve requirement
Select a current transformer that can accommodate at least
1.5 times the total load. Underloads affect accuracy and
impair the overcurrent limiting protection, which protects the
secondary circuit from being damaged by excessive
currents.
Accuracy (class)
If certain specifications have been met, the accuracy (class)
can be another important criterion for selecting the correct
current transformer.
Ultimate current transformer selection
Phoenix Contact offers an extensive range of current
transformer types.
Several different types of current transformer may satisfy the
prescribed technical criteria. The main differences lie in the
size and shape of the transformer opening and in the
external dimensions of the transformer housing. Select the
optimum current transformer based on the size of the
copper rail and the space available in the control cabinet.
Tolerances
The tolerance of a current transformer refers to its primary
current (nominal current). You should therefore choose a
current transformer whose primary current is as close as
possible to the current to be measured.

PPM = 10 mΩ * (5 A)²= 0.01 Ω * 25 A² = 0.25 VA (3)  PACT MCR-V2-3015-60-100-5A-1 (Order No. 2277064)

17.2.2 Example 2 Ultimate current transformer selection

Transformation ratio according to the technical
Technical specifications specifications and calculations:
Cable length 22 m 80 A : 1 A, 1 VA
Conductor cross section 1.5 mm²
Select a current transformer that corresponds to at least this
data in all parameters.
Primary and secondary rated current From the available product range, a current transformer with
Current to be measured max. 80 A the following transformation ratio meets these
(primary rated current) specifications, for example:
Assumption: secondary rated current 1 A 100 A : 1 A, 1.25 VA

Recommendation: With long cables, use a current  PACT MCR-V2- 3015- 60 (Order No. 2277271)
transformer with a secondary rated current of 1 A. By doing Configure the current transformer with the following values
so, you keep the rated power of the current transformer low. as shown in the example:

Capacity (power) in VA Primary current Ipn 100 ampere [IP01000]

Secondary current Isn 1 ampere [IS01]
As per the formulas in the previous section:
Class Class 0.5 [C05]
PTotal = PPM + PCable (1) Rated power 1,25 VA [P125]
PPM = 10 mΩ * (1 A)²= 0.01 Ω * 1 A² = 0.01 VA (3)  
PCable = l * 2 * Power (4) This results in the order key:
PCable = 22 m * 2 * 0.0117 VA/m = 0.5148 VA 2277271/IP01000/IS01/C05/P125
PTotal = 0.01 VA + 0.5148 VA = 0.5248 VA (5)

Rated power of the current transformer

PCurrent transformer = 1.5 * PTotal (6)

PCurrent transformer = 1.5 * 0.5248 VA = 0.7872 VA  1
VA
