Overview

Elseta’s Sensor Adapter simplifies the integration of current and voltage sensors in medium-voltage (MV) networks. Instead of connecting each sensor individually with separate wires, this adapter allows up to three sensors for a single phase to be connected through a single RJ45 cable. Designed for use with Elseta IOMod and eRTU series devices, such as IOMod FPI-RJ, IOMod Meter-RJ, or BCM1P, it supports both low-power current and voltage sensors, streamlining installation and reducing wiring complexity.

Fully compliant with IEC 60044-7, IEC 60044-8, IEC 61869-10, and IEC 61869-11, the adapter ensures safe, reliable, and standardized connections, making it ideal for applications ranging from smart grids and power quality measurement to renewable energy integration. Its modular design allows easy upgrades, maintenance, and broad compatibility across Elseta devices.

Features

Simplified Wiring and Installation: The ability to connect via wire to the low-voltage secondary circuit simplifies the wiring process, making installation quicker and more cost-effective. This is particularly beneficial in complex or space-constrained environments.

Isolation and Safety: Adapters can provide additional electrical isolation between the high-power circuits and the sensitive electronic measurement and protection circuits. This enhances safety and reduces the risk of damage to the electronic components.

Standardisation and Interoperability: By conforming to widely accepted standards, adapters ensure interoperability between different types of equipment and sensors, simplifying integration in diverse electrical systems.

Modularity: The modular nature of using adapters allows for more flexible system design and easier troubleshooting and maintenance. Components can be added, removed, or replaced without affecting the rest of the system.

Ease of Upgrade and Replacement: If sensor technology evolves or if there’s a need to replace a sensor, using adapters makes it easier to upgrade without modifying the entire system. This is more cost-effective and less time-consuming.

Versatility and Compatibility: Adapters allow for the use of a wide range of current and voltage sensors, catering to different standards and specifications. This enables the devices to be used in various electrical environments without the need for custom-built hardware.

Cost-Effectiveness: Adapters can be a more cost-effective solution compared to designing and manufacturing specialised integrated circuits for each application, especially for low to medium volume applications.

Compatibility with Standards: An additional significant benefit of our adapters is their compatibility with a range of international and industry standards. This compliance ensures that our products meet the highest levels of quality, safety, and performance, aligning with global best practices. The relevant standards include:

IEC 60044-7: About electronic voltage transformers, this standard covers the requirements for voltage sensor inputs, ensuring accuracy and reliability in voltage measurement.
IEC 60044-8: This standard applies to electronic current transformers, guiding the requirements for current sensor inputs, crucial for precise current measurement.
IEC 61869-10: Focusing on additional requirements for electronic current transformers, it extends the scope of IEC 60044-8, providing a more comprehensive framework for current measurement accuracy.
IEC 61869-11: Similar to IEC 61869-10, this standard is specific to electronic voltage transformers, supplementing the guidelines of IEC 60044-7 for enhanced voltage measurement precision.

By ensuring compatibility with these standards, our adapters not only guarantee the technical excellence of our products but also facilitate their integration into various electrical systems worldwide. This compliance serves as a testament to our commitment to delivering state-of-the-art solutions in the field of electrical measurement and protection.
