Conditions of acceptability
When installed in the end-use equipment, consideration shall be given to the following:
1 - These devices have been evaluated for overvoltage category III and for use in pollution degree 2 environment.
2 - A suitable enclosure shall be provided in the end-use application.
3 - The terminals have not been evaluated for field wiring.
4 - These devices have been evaluated for use in 105°C maximum surrounding air temperature.
5-T
he secondary (Sensing) circuit is intended to be supplied by a Isolated Secondary Circuit - Limited voltage circuit defined
by UL 508 paragraph 32.5. The maximum open circuit voltage potential available to the circuit and overcurrent protection
shall be evaluated in the end use application.
6-T
hese devices are intended to be mounted on a printed wiring board of end-use equipment. The suitability of the
connections (including spacings) shall be determined in the end-use application.
7-P
rimary terminals shall not be straightened since assembly of housing case depends upon bending of the terminals.
8 - Any surface of polymeric housing have not been evaluated as insulating barrier.
9-L
ow voltage circuits are intended to be powered by a circuit derived from an isolating source (such as a transformer, optical
isolator, limiting impedance or electro-mechanical relay) and having no direct connection back to the primary circuit (other
than through the grounding means).
Marking
Only those products bearing the UL or UR Mark should be considered to be Listed or Recognized and covered under UL's
Follow-Up Service. Always look for the Mark on the product.

Definition of typical, minimum and maximum values
Minimum and maximum values for specified limiting and safety conditions have to be understood as such as well as values
shown in “typical” graphs.
On the other hand, measured values are part of a statistical distribution that can be specified by an interval with upper and lower
limits and a probability for measured values to lie within this interval.
Unless otherwise stated (e.g. “100 % tested”), the LEM definition for such intervals designated with “min” and “max” is that the
probability for values of samples to lie in this interval is 99.73 %.
For a normal (Gaussian) distribution, this corresponds to an interval between -3 sigma and +3 sigma. If “typical” values are not
obviously mean or average values, those values are defined to delimit intervals with a probability of 68.27 %, corresponding to
an interval between -sigma and +sigma for a normal distribution.
Typical, maximal and minimal values are determined during the initial characterization of a product.
Remark
Installation of the transducer must be done unless otherwise specified on the datasheet, according to LEM Transducer Generic
Mounting Rules. Please refer to LEM document N°ANE120504 available on our Web site: Products/Product Documentation.

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 (e.g. primary bus bar, 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.

Performance parameters definition
Ampere-turns and amperes
The transducer is sensitive to the primary current linkage ΘP (also
called ampere-turns).
ΘP = NP·IP (At)
Where NP is the number of primary turn (depending on
the connection of the primary jumpers)
Caution: As most applications will use the transducer with only
one single primary turn (NP = 1), much of this datasheet is
written in terms of primary current instead of current linkages.
However, the ampere-turns (At) unit is used to emphasis that
current linkages are intended and applicable.

Transducer simplified model
Electrical offset
The static model of the transducer at temperature TA is:
Vout = G·ΘP + overall error (mV)
In which error =
εG ·ΘP·G + εL·ΘP·G + TCG (TA-25)·ΘP·G + VOE + TCVOE·(TA-25) (mV)
The electrical offset voltage VOE can either be measured when
the ferro-magnetic parts of the transducer are:

This model is valid for primary ampere-turns ΘP between -ΘP max
and +ΘP max only.
Sensitivity and linearity
To measure sensitivity and linearity, the primary current (DC) is
cycled from 0 to IP, then to -IP and back to 0 (equally spaced
IP/10 steps). The sensitivity G is defined as the slope of the linear
regression line for a cycle between ± IPN.
The linearity error εL is the maximum positive or negative
difference between the measured points and the linear regression
line, expressed in % of IPN.
Magnetic offset
The magnetic offset voltage VOM is the consequence of a current
on the primary side (“memory effect” of the transducer’s ferromagnetic parts). It is measured using the following primary
current cycle. VOM depends on the current value IP1 (IP1> IPM).
V =
OM

Overall accuracy
The overall accuracy at 25 °C XG is the error in the
- IPN .. + IPN range, relative to the rated value IPN.
It includes:
●● the electrical offset VOE/ ΘP·G (%)
●● the sensitivity error εG (%)
●● the linearity error εL (to IPN) (%)
