7.1 Installing a current transformer
The current transformers can be installed in the following mounting positions:
1. Vertically on the copper rail
In most applications, the current transformer is fitted directly
onto the copper rail.
Slide the current transformer over the copper rail.
Slide the primary rail support through the inner hole of
the current transformer (A).
Insert the two screws on the left and right of the
transformer into the holes of the primary rail support until
they reach the copper rail and the pressure is such that
the current transformer is fixed in place (B).
Attach the protective caps for protection against
accidental contact to the screw heads (C).
2. Vertically on the mounting plate
Two plug-in feet are included as standard accessories (see
page 21).
Insert the plug-in feet underneath the transformer on the
right and the left (A).
Place the current transformer on the mounting plate (B).
Insert the screws through the openings of the plug-in feet
to secure the current transformer (C).

3. Vertically on the DIN rail
The current transformer can also be snapped onto the DIN
rail with the optional snap-on mounting (see page 21).
Snap the snap-on mounting into the holes beneath the
current transformer (A).
Snap the current transformer onto the DIN rail (B).
4. Horizontally on the copper rail
As a result of their flat shape, the Phoenix Contact current
transformers can also be fitted horizontally onto copper rails,
e.g., behind fuse rails.
This is possible with the following current transformer types:
MCR-V2-5012-85... (see page 7)
MCR-V2-3015-60... (see page 5)
MCR-V1-21-44... (see page 4)
Insert a suitable copper sleeve (see page 21) into the
inner hole of the current transformer (A) to create a
conductive connection between the copper rail and the
fuse.
Attach the extended secondary terminal cover to the
secondary terminals (B) to increase the air and
creepage distances when the current transformer is
installed horizontally.

7.2 Connecting a current transformer
Figure 1 Example connection with PACT MCR-V1-21-
44-...
The connections of the primary winding are designated as
"K" and "L" or "P1" and "P2". The connections of the
secondary winding are designated as "k" and "l" or "s1" and
"s2". Pole the cables so that the power flows from "K" to "L".

8 Calibrating the current transformers
Calibrated current transformers are identified by a yellow
sticker:
Figure 3 Example stamp of a nationally recognized test
center
A PTB (Physikalisch-Technischen Bundesanstalt) approval
mark is also applied:

Bundesanstalt) approval mark
Each calibrated current transformer is provided with a corresponding calibration certificate.

The calibration process involves additional costs, which are specified in accordance with the national table of fees.
These depend on the maximum rated input current of the current transformer.
