Http://www.plcsh.cnBecause you
search for
performance
we make the
difference.
In the industrial and railway sectors,
where the tendency for all players is towards higher
performance, ABB current and voltage sensors provide
competitive and adapted solutions. To meet your requirements,
they draw on all their qualities to give you the advantage.
Resulting from a totally electronic technology, they integrate
the latest innovations. More compact, they allow for the optimum 
reduction in equipment dimensions. Made from high technology material, 
ABB sensors offer exceptional thermal performance, a stronger
mechanical robustness and generally excellent resistance to harsh 
external conditions. These products conform to ecological, 
security and strict quality standards.
3  Three technologies for me
The secondary output current IS is therefore
exactly proportional to the primary current at  
any moment. It is an exact replica of the
primary current multiplied by the number of
turns NP/NS. This secondary current IS can be
passed through a measuring resistance RM.
The measuring voltage VM at the terminals of
this measuring resistance RM is therefore also
exactly proportional to the primary current IP.
Principle
ABB current sensors based on closed loop Hall effect technology are electronic
transformers. They allow for the measurement of direct, alternating and impulse
currents, with galvanic insulation between the primary and secondary circuits.
The primary current IP flowing across the sensor creates a primary magnetic flux.
The magnetic circuit channels this magnetic flux. The Hall probe placed in the  
air gap of the magnetic circuit provides a voltage proportional to this flux.  
The electronic circuit amplifies this voltage and converts it into a secondary current
IS. This secondary current multiplied by the number of turns NS of secondary
winding cancels out the primary magnetic flux that created it (contra reaction). The  
formula NP x IP = NS x IS is true at any time. The current sensor measures
instantaneous values.

gap of the magnetic circuit provides a voltage VH proportional to this flux, which is
itself proportional to the current IP to be measured.

Principle
ABB voltage sensors based on closed loop Hall effect technology are also electronic
transformers. They allow for the measurement of direct, alternating and impulse
voltages with galvanic insulation between the primary and secondary circuits.
The primary voltage UP to be measured is applied directly to the sensor terminals:
HT+ (positive high voltage) and HT– (negative high voltage). An input resistance
RE must necessarily be placed in series with the resistance RP of the primary
winding to limit the current IP and therefore the heat dissipated from the sensor.
This resistance RE may be either integrated during the manufacturing of the product
(calibrated sensor) or added externally by the user to determine the voltage rating
(not calibrated sensor).
The primary current IP flowing across the primary winding via this resistance RE
generates a primary magnetic flux. The magnetic circuit channels this magnetic flux.
The Hall probe placed in the air gap of the magnetic circuit provides a voltage VH
proportional to this flux.
The electronic circuit amplifies this voltage and converts it into a secondary  
current IS. This secondary current multiplied by the number of turns NS of secondary
winding cancels out the primary magnetic flux that created it (contra reaction).  
The formula NP x IP = NS x IS is true at any time.
The voltage sensor measures instantaneous values.
The secondary output current IS is therefore exactly proportional to the primary
voltage at any moment. It is an exact replica of the primary voltage. This secondary
current IS is passed through a measuring resistance RM. The measuring voltage VM
at the terminals of this measuring resistance RM is therefore also exactly proportional
to the primary voltage UP
.

In the same way as for current sensors, this

through a measuring resistance RM. The
measuring voltage VM at the terminals of this
measuring resistance RM is therefore also
exactly proportional to the primary voltage UP.
The electrical supply to the sensor is also
insulated from the primary voltage.
Principle
ABB voltage sensors based on electronic technology only use electronic components.
In contrast to closed or open loop Hall effect technology, no magnetic circuits or
Hall effect probes are used in the sensor.
This allows for the measurement of direct or alternating voltages with electrical
insulation between the primary and secondary circuits.
The primary voltage to be measured is applied directly to the sensor terminals:  
HT+ (positive high voltage) and HT– (negative high voltage or earth). This voltage  
is passed through an insulating amplifier and is then converted to a secondary
output current IS. This secondary current IS is electrically insulated from the primary  
voltage to which it is exactly proportional.
The voltage sensor measures instantaneous values.

The voltage detector indicates the presence
of a voltage higher than a limit  (maximum
50V in compliance with standards) by the
illumination of a LED. Inversely, the LED is
extinguished when the voltage is below this limit.
Principle
ABB voltage detector is based on entirely electronic technology. It allows
the detection of the presence of direct or alternating voltage. For safety
reasons this main function is duplicated within the detector to increase the  
product lifetime.
The voltage detector converts the primary voltage UP applied to its terminals to visual
information for the user. This function permits the user to carryout maintenance
operations with the assurance that dangerous voltage is not present.
The primary voltage UP to be measured is applied directly to the detector terminals:
HT1+ and HT2+ (positive high voltage) and HT1– and HT2- (negative high voltage
or 0V electric). The electronic circuit (PCB) converts the primary voltage UP to an
electrical signal supplied to a light emitting diode (LED).
The information is supplied to the user visually through two flashing LEDs.
The detector does not need an external power supply in order to work.

Description of the main current and voltage
sensor’s characteristics
Nominal primary current (IPN) and nominal primary voltage (UPN)
This is the maximum current or voltage that the sensor can continuously withstand (i.e. without time limit).
The sensor is thermally sized to continuously withstand this value.
For alternating currents, this is the r.m.s. value of the sinusoidal current.
The value given in the catalogue or in the technical data sheet is a nominal rating value. This figure can be higher if certain conditions  
(temperature, supply voltage…) are less restricting.
- Supply voltage:
The measuring range increases with the supply voltage.
 
- Measuring resistance:
The measuring range increases when the measuring
resistance is reduced.
Not measurable overload
This is the maximum instantaneous current or voltage that the sensor can
withstand without being destroyed or damaged.
However the sensor is not able to measure this overload value.
This value must be limited in amplitude and duration in order to avoid magnetising
the magnetic circuit, overheating or straining the electronic components.
A sensor can withstand a lower value overload for longer.

Measuring range (IPMAX and UPMAX)
This is the maximum current or voltage that the sensor can measure with the Hall effect. In general, mainly for thermal reasons, the sensor  
cannot continuously measure this value for direct currents and voltages.
This measuring range is given for specific operating conditions. This can vary depending mainly on the parameters below (see calculation
examples p.114 and onwards):
Operating range (IPN, UPN) and temperature (°C)
The sensor has been designed for a certain operating temperature. If this
temperature is reduced, then it is possible to use the sensor with a higher
thermal current or voltage.

Description of the main current and voltage
sensor’s characteristics
Secondary current ISN at IPN or at UPN
This is the sensor’s output current IS when the input is equal to the nominal primary current IPN or to the nominal primary voltage UPN.
Measuring resistance RM
This is the resistance connected in the secondary measuring circuit between terminal M of the current or voltage sensor and the 0 V of the supply.
The measuring voltage VM at the terminals of this resistance RM is proportional to the sensor’s secondary current IS.
It is therefore the image of the sensor’s primary current IP or primary voltage UP
.
For thermal reasons, a minimum value is sometimes required in certain operating conditions in order to limit overheating of the sensor.
The maximum value for this resistance is determined by the measuring range.
(see calculation examples p.114 and onwards and the curve IPMAX or UPMAX = f(RM) opposite).
Accuracy
This is the maximum error for the sensor output ISN for the nominal input value (current or voltage).
This takes into account the residual current, linearity and thermal drift.
a.c. accuracy 
This is the maximum error for the sensor’s output ISN for an alternating sinusoidal primary current with a frequency of 50 Hz.
The residual current is not taken into account. The linearity and thermal drift are always included.
No-load consumption current
This is the sensor’s current consumption when the primary current (or primary voltage) is zero.
The total current consumption of the sensor is therefore the no-load consumption current plus the secondary current.
All given performance and data included in this catalogue could change.
Dedicated data sheets are the only recognized reference documents 
for the given performances and data.

These sensors are designed for PCB mounting.
The sensor is mechanically fixed by soldering the secondary circuit pins to the PCB.
The primary connection can also be integrated in the sensor (pins for MP sensors,
integrated primary bar for EL…BB sensors).
The primary conductor for EL sensors can also be a cable or a bar.
For MP sensors the primary pin combination determines the sensor’s nominal rating
(see table p.55).

17Designed to be integrated into
every situation
The NCS125/165 sensor is entirely symmetrical. Its square shape and
strategically positioned oblong holes make it easy to fasten in a choice of
2 positions.
As an accessory it comes with a side plate that can be fastened on either
side of the sensor giving complete fitting flexibility. It meets the standard
design of ABB current sensors. It can be fitted both horizontally and
vertically.

This flexibility means that NCS125/165 sensor simplifies the work of
integrators. Additionally the pair of side plate allows the NCS125/165
sensor to be fitted to one or several bars at the same time.
The NCS305 sensor has been designed to reduce installation costs for
new and retrofit systems. Using our innovative and robust opening, the
clip-on system allows the NCS305 to be easily adapted to existing bus
bars.
Thanks to its core free, patented technology, the NCS is more cost
effective and faster to install than traditional Hall Effect sensor.
The NCS is a “flyweight” with only 5.5 kg (for the NCS305), this sensor
offer the best calibre/weight ratio.
18THE NCS MEETS ALL OF YOUR REQUIREMENTS
The chief selling-point of NCS sensors is their quality.
Compliance of their high-tech electronic design with
standard EN 50178 is proof of their ability to comply with the most detailed
constraint as well as major demands. The fact that each individual sensor
is subjected to rigorous testing is proof of the importance ABB attribute 
to quality.
QUALITY
ABB have long been concerned with the
protection of the environment, as proved by the
ISO 14001 certification they received in 1998. This environmental
approach is particularly noticeable in the production of the NCS
range in the reduction of the number of components, in the use of
a low-energy manufacturing procedure and the use of recyclable
packing. The products in use are also characterized by their reduced
energy consumption.
ECOLOGY
Quality that goes beyond
standards
ABB have been ISO 9001 certified since 1993 and our standard NCS
sensors bear the CE label in Europe.
This ongoing striving after quality has always been the hallmark of a
company where excellence and safety are part of the culture, from 
design right through to production.
This culture is the result of continuous research to make technical
progress and meet our customers’ demands.
Considerable 
energy savings
NCS sensors offer considerable savings in energy. Indeed only a few
watts are required to power the NCS sensor in contrast to traditional
sensors that require several hundred watts.
This reduction in wasted energy means there is no rise in temperature
around the sensor.

125
100% electronic
The main advantage of the NCS range of sensors is that they are
designed using a brand-new solution: 100% electronic technology.
Unlike other currently available solutions such as shunts and CTs,
this approach means that these sensors are very compact. Several
patents were necessary to achieve this improvement.
