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. 1 % 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 the product. Page 4/7

The sensitivity G is defined as the slope of the linear regression line for a cycle between ±I P M. The linearity error ε L is the maximum positive or negative difference between the measured points and the linear regression line, expressed in % of the maximum measured value. Magnetic offset The magnetic offset I O M is the change of offset after a given current has been applied to the input. It is included in the linearity error as long as the transducer remains in its measuring range. Electrical offset The electrical offset current I O E is the residual output current when the input current is zero. Overall accuracy The overall accuracy X G is the error at ±I P N, relative to the rated value I P M. It includes all errors mentioned above. Response and reaction times The response time t r and the reaction time t ra are shown in the next figure. Both slightly depend on the primary current di/dt. They are measured at nominal current. 1 % 9 % I P 1 % t r I S t ra t Figure 6: Response time t r and reaction time t ra Page 6/7

The secondary cables also have to be routed together all the way. Installation of the transducer is to be done without primary current or secondary voltage present. Maximum temperature of primary conductor: see page 2. 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 ANE1254 available on our Web site: Products/Product Documentation. Safety This transducer must be used in limited-energy secondary circuits according to IEC 611-1. 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 connection, 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. Page 7/7
