SINEAX I 542
Transducer for AC current
Camille Bauer Data sheet I 542 Le – 03.09 1
Self-powered
With 2 measuring ranges
Carrying rail housing P8/35
Application
The transducer SINEAX I 542 (Fig. 1) converts a sinusoidal AC
current signal into an output signal that can serves several receiving
instruments such as indicators, recorders, alarm units etc.
The transducer fulfi ls all the important requirements and regulations
concerning electromagnetic compatibility EMC and Safety (IEC
1010 resp. EN 61 010). It was developed and is manufactured and
tested in strict accordance with the quality assurance standard
ISO 9001.
Features / Benefi ts
● Measuring input: 2 measuring ranges, 1/5 A or 1.2/6 A
● Self-powered / Less wiring expense
● Low power consumption / Smaller CT’s can be used
● Standard version as per Germanischer Lloyd
Layout and mode of operation
The transducer comprises a transformer W, a rectifi er unit G and
an amplifi er V (Fig. 2).
The measured variable is isolated from the electronics by the
transformer, and is rectifi ed and smoothed in the rectifi er unit.
The amplifi er amplifi es the resultant signal and converts it into the
load-independent DC signal.
