SM Current Module

Current module providing the current condition for ZELK-2/ZELK-3 devices and improving arc protection reliability.

The SM current module is used in arc protection systems to avoid false trips caused by light that is not produced by an arc. When busbar current exceeds the set value, the module provides the current condition required by ZELK-2 or ZELK-3. It also monitors the current decrease after tripping and provides a condition for breaker-failure protection.

  • Current condition for ZELK

    A logic output enables ZELK-2/ZELK-3 operation when optical detection and current above the set threshold are both present.

  • Adjustable I> threshold

    The operating current is adjustable from 0.5 to 5 x IN for 1 A or 5 A current-transformer secondaries.

  • Condition for ZPM

    The 70% I> output is used for breaker-failure protection when current does not decrease after protection operation.

  • In-service testing

    A test switch, TEST LED and potentiometer support checking the module and the complete protection system.

  • Availability supervision

    Remote availability signalling is implemented with K1 relay and one changeover contact.

  • One-, two- or three-phase connection

    Connection to current transformers is possible as one-phase, two-phase or three-phase.
