SENTRON 3WL
Current Sensor with Rogowski Coil
SENTRON 3WL
Current sensor consists of: - Energy transducer
- Rogowski coil
The Rogowski coil is an air-cored coil.
Advantages:
- No saturation as opposed to iron current transformer
- High accuracy < 1% , also suitable for measuring purposes
Only one current sensor per size

SENTRON 3WL
Current Sensor with Rogowski Coil
Thanks to the Rogowski coil, the activation

limits for the trip unit are as follows:
Size I + II: Only 80 A (in one phase)
Size III: Only 200 A
Assured protection already with very small primary currents!
For comparison:
With “normal” CTs, approx. 20-30% of the nominal current are required!
Measuring accuracy:
Current: Rogowski coil and measuring function:
High accuracy of 1 % (referred to I n max)

SENTRON 3WL
Advantages Through Current Sensor + Rating Plug
1. Through combined transformer + rating plug

=> no exchange or adjustment of current transformers required!
+
2. Through combined transformer + rating plug + AO module + ammeter
=> accurate indication also possible in the low-load range
=> no separate current transformers required in the system
Application probably not with

+ + + “standard infeeds” with CT.
Possible solution for subsequent
Rotary coil instrument adjustments for [A]; [V]; etc.
(no moving iron)
+ + 4-20mA Utilization of 4-20mA as input signal in

the control station, e.g. for [ A] or [V]
=> Economization of a measuring
transducer

Short-Circuit Breaking Capacity
Rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icn

+ Icn is the generic term for Icu and Ics ,
+ Icu and Ics have to be >= than Isc" of the system
+ maximum short-circuit current to be switched off
Rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity Icu

Test sequence (old T1): I cu : O - t - CO
This current has to be switched off two times by the circuit breaker
without causing damage.
Subsequently, the device has to be replaced or revised.
Rated service ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity Ics

Test sequence (old T2): I cs : O - t - CO - t - CO
This current has to be switched off three times by the circuit breaker
without causing damage.
Subsequently, the breaker must be able to conduct the operating current.
Selection Criterion: Utilization Category
Utilization category A
1. Circuit breakers which are not especially dimensioned
for selectivity under short-circuit conditions
2. Without intended short-time delay
3. Without rated short-time withstand current Icw
Utilization category B
1. Circuit breakers which are especially dimensioned
for selectivity under short-circuit conditions
2. With rated short-time withstand current Icw over 50 msec
In < 2500 A: 12 x I n; however at least Icw = 5kA

Protective setting of Isd

It has to be assured that the minimum short-circuit current
F1 Isc min is detected by Isd and switched off within the specified
Q1 time (5 sec or 0.4 sec).
Example: The Isd of Q3 has to detect the Isc min on the end of
the line (fault position F4) and switch it off within the tolerance
F2 of + / - 20 %.
Q2 Within the tolerance means:
Isc min = 120 % of Isd
F3 Conclusion:
Q3 The value to be set for Isd Q 3 is:
I sd Q3 < I‘‘sc min - 20 %
F4
Important: All selectivity considerations and protective settings always start at the consumer.
