EURAX I210, U210 Transducer for AC current or AC voltage Application
The transducer EURAX I 210 (Fig. 1) converts a sinusoidal or a distorted AC current, the EURAX U 210 converts a sinusoidal or a distorted AC voltage signal into an output signal that can serves several receiving instruments such as indicators, recorders, alarm units etc. The units are suitable for processing distorted values when using thyristors and other rectifier devices.
Available with linear or square output characteristic. Features / Benefits

Layout and mode of operation
The input stage provides electric isolation and signal adaptation toinstrument level. The transducers I 210 and U 210 differ electrically
The transducer consists of an input stage ES with the converter W,
only in the input stage. The computing block consists of a preci-
a computing block RB which calculates the rms value, an output
sion rectifier, a squarer/divider and a low-pass filter. It operates with
amplifier AV, a power pack SP and a mains supply transformer Tr
logarithmic amplifiers and calculates the rms current or voltage ac-
The output amplifier is unipolar. It can supply a voltage or currentas output variable, and allows both positive (live zero) and negative
shift (suppressed zero measurement). All standard signals for ana-
log data transmission can therefore be achieved.
For AC supplies a transformer is used. For DC supplies a DC/ACinverter (DCS) is used instead of the transformer. Fig. 2. Block diagram for a function unit.
All inputs and outputs are protected against voltage surges. EURAX I210, U210 Transducer for AC current or AC voltage Technical data

The transducer is designed for crest factors from 1 to 2.5. With
higher crest factors the instrument measures correctly only if the
peak value of the input signal does not exceed 2.5 times M . Here
it must be borne in mind that M may be exceeded by 20% (safety
factor 120%). That means with the measuring range 0.100 V
for example the peak input signal must not exceed
2.5 ×100× 1.2 = 300 V. Consequently with crest factors > 2.5 the
transducer can no longer be utilized to the full. The diagram below
shows the M range and the additional error versus the crest factor

This limitation is without significance in most cases, however, be-
cause the peak value diminishes anyhow with increasing distortionof the input signal (e.g. gating control). Environmental conditions Additional error
