The trend in PV string inverters for large solar power plants is towards higher power classes. This requires current sensors with a higher current capability. The new MD Series leakage current sensor MD0630T01A
was specially developed to fulfill the requirements of string inverters from 80 kW to 255 kW and upcoming developments. Designs are available with integrated primary conductors for PCB mounting.
This series to even higher phase currents than 200 Arms. Leakage current sensors are used in the RCMU (Residual Current Monitoring Unit) in PV inverters. Leakage currents represent safety risks and thus impact the whole system. When the leakage current exceeds the limit acc. To IEC 62109, the inverter should shut down and disconnect. Therefore, the current sensors need to detect very small leakage currents while very high phase currents must not affect them.
Product Advantages
Any electrical leak can be dangerous for your staff and production site. By using IVY Residual Current Device (RCD) you can protect both staff and equipment. Thanks to its zero-flux technology expertise, IVY developed a range of highly flexible Residual Current Monitor of Type B/B+ for measuring DC and AC residual currents up to 100kHz, with digital signal output.
MD0630T01A Type A, B and B+ RCD, dedicated to detect to DC, AC and DC+AC leakage current measurement. The sensor can issues an alarm signal when the DC component of the residual current reaches a preset value.
MD0630T01A is an automotive grade leakage current sensor also called residual current monitoring (RCM), residual current detection (RCD), differential current sensor, leakage current detector and fault current sensor. It has the characteristics of accurate measurement, small size and integration. The RCD sensor can be set separately for AC and DC leakage and has a digital output function. It can detect sinusoidal AC, pulsating DC, composite of multi-frequency as well as smooth DC residual currents. Widely used for electro-medical instruments, ventilation systems, inverters, UPS, Electric vehicle charging stations, lifts, escalators, welding equipment, smart home, industrial machines, elevators, IOT, photovoltaic systems.
