Reference Vref: Ripple present on the Vref pin can be filtered with a low value of capacitance because of the internal 499 ohm series resistance. The CTSR transducers have an internal capacitor of 22 nF between Vref pin and Gnd pin and the maximum filter capacitance value which could be added is 1 F. Adding a larger decoupling capacitor will increase the activation delay of degauss. Output Vout: The CTSR transducers have an internal low pass filter 470 ohm/22 nF; if a decoupling capacitor is added on Vout pin, the bandwidth and the response time will be affected. In case of short circuit, the transducer CTSR can source or sink up to a maximum of 10 mA on its output Vout. Using an external reference voltage If the Vref pin of the transducer is not used it could be either left unconnected or filtered according to the previous paragraph "Reference Vref". The Vref pin has two modes Ref Out and Ref In: In the Ref Out mode the 2.5 V internal precision reference is used by the transducer as the reference point for bipolar measurements; this internal reference is connected to the Vref pin of the transducer through a 499 ohms resistor. It tolerates sink or source currents up to 5 mA, but the 499 ohms resistor prevents this current to exceed these limits. In the Ref In mode, an external reference voltage is connected to the Vref pin; this voltage is specified in the range 2.3 to 4 V and is directly used by the transducer as the reference point for measurements. The external reference voltage Vref must be able: oo either to source a typical current of Vref - 2.5 , the maximum value will be 3 mA when Vref = 4 V. 499 oo or to sink a typical current of 2.5 - Vref , the maximum value will be 0.4 mA when Vref = 2.3 V. 499 The following graphs show how the measuring range of the transducer depends on the external reference voltage value Vref (Vc = 5 V).

The primary nominal current is the current flowing through any conductor placed into the aperture of the transducer. The presence of a primary nominal current DC or AC leads to an additional uncertainty. For example, with a primary nominal current of 30 A the uncertainty referred to primary is typical 4.3 mA. CTSR transducer in Test mode When the Vref pin is forced at a Low level voltage between 0 and 1 V and is maintained at this level, the output voltage Vout of CTSR transducer is fixed at 1.2 V +/-0.5 V, as if it measured a primary test current. The activation time of test mode is min 30 ms. The CTSR transducer can be maintained in test mode as long as needed for checking that it is fully operating. CTSR transducer in Degauss mode The CTSR transducers go in degauss mode automatically at each power on or on demand by using the Vref pin. At power on: A degauss is automatically generated at each power on of the CTSR transducer; during degaussing the output voltage Vout is maintained at 0.3 V typ. (max 0.5 V). After c.a. 110 ms, the output voltage Vout is released and takes the normal operation level in relation with the measured primary current. Using Vref pin: When the pin Vref is released from the Low level voltage defined in the Test mode above, there is a rising edge on Vref which generates an automatic degauss. The activation of degauss takes typically 40 s after releasing Vref pin, then degauss lasts typically 110 ms.

The figure below shows the joint and the apertures where the clearance between the secondary part inside the CTSR transducer and the surface of the housing is 3 mm (label E).

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.
