Description
Measuring transducer is intended for measuring, analysing and monitoring single-phase or three-phase electrical power
network. It measures RMS value by means of fast sampling of voltage and current signals, which makes instrument
suitable for acquisition of transient events. A built-in microcontroller calculates measurements MT436 (voltage and
frequency) / MT438 (current, frequency and MD current) from the measured signals.

Purpose and use of different type of measuring transducer
PLEASE NOTE
Described in chapter below are main differences between different types of measuring transducers. Please note that in
flowing chapters, these differences may not be specifically pointed out.
Voltage transducer MT436
MT436 voltage transducer is intended for measuring and monitoring of single phase or three-phase electrical power
network. MT436 measures true RMS voltage by means of fast sampling of voltage signals, which makes instruments
suitable for acquisition of transient events. A built-in microcontroller calculates measurements (Voltage and frequency)
from the measured signals.
Current transducer MT438
MT438 current transducer is intended for measuring and monitoring of single phase or three-phase electrical power
network. MT438 measures true RMS current by means of fast sampling of current signals, which makes instruments
suitable for acquisition of transient events. A built-in microcontroller calculates measurements (Current, frequency and
MD current) from the measured signals.
Multifunctional transducer MT440
MT440 Multifunctional transducer is intended for measuring and monitoring single-phase or three-phase electrical
power network. MT440 measures true RMS value by means of fast sampling of voltage and current signals, which makes
instruments suitable for acquisition of transient events. A built-in microcontroller calculates measurements (voltage,
current, frequency, energy, power, power factor, THD phase angles, etc.) from the measured signals.

CONNECTION
This chapter deals with the instructions for measuring instrument connection. Both the use and connection of the device
includes handling with dangerous currents and voltages. Connection shall therefore be performed ONLY a by a qualified
person using an appropriate equipment. ISKRA, d.d. does not take any responsibility regarding the use and connection.
If any doubt occurs regarding connection and use in the system which device is intended for, please contact a person
who is responsible for such installations.
A person qualified for installation and connection of a device should be familiar with all necessary precaution measures
described in this document prior to its connection.
Before use please check the following:
Nominal voltage (UP-Pmax = 1000 VACrms; UP-Nmax = 600 VACrms),
Supply voltage,
Nominal frequency,
Voltage ratio and phase sequence,
Current transformer ratio and terminals integrity,
Protection fuse for voltage inputs (recommended maximal external fuse size is 6 A)
Proper connection and voltage level of I/O modules
WARNING
Wrong or incomplete connection of voltage or other terminals can cause non-operation or damage to the device.
CAUTION
Aux. Supply inrush current can be as high as 20 A for short period of time (<1 ms). Please choose an appropriate MCB
for disconnection of aux. Supply.
PLEASE NOTE
After connection, settings have to be performed via communication (connection mode, current and voltage
transformers ratio …).

Mounting
MT4xx measuring transducer is designed for DIN rail mounting. It should be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail by means of
two plastic fasteners. Before installation fasteners should be in open position (pulled). After device is on place, fasteners
are locked (pushed) to close position.
Electrical connection
Voltage inputs of measuring transducer can be connected directly to low-voltage network or via appropriate voltage
measuring transformer to medium or high voltage network.
Current inputs of measuring transducer can be connected directly to low-voltage network or via a corresponding current
transformer.
Choose corresponding connection from the figures below and connect corresponding voltages and currents.
Information on electrical characteristics is given in chapter Inputs page 35.
WARNING
Before using tool for accessing interior or any other part of the transducer which in normal use may be hazardous live
(aux. supply and measuring input terminals), transducer MUST BE ISOLATED OR DISCONNECTED from hazardous live
voltage.
PLEASE NOTE
For proper connection wire diameters and other wiring requirements see chapter Connection on page 35.

Communication connection
Both voltage and current transducers have one isolated communication port, which can be equipped with RS232 or
RS485 or left open (to be specified with order). Additionally, MT4xx measuring transducer has a USB communication
port, located on the bottom under small circular plastic cover. It is intended for settings ONLY and requires NO auxiliary
power supply. When connected to this communication port transducer is powered by USB.
WARNING
USB communication port is provided with only BASIC insulation and can ONLY be used unconnected to aux. supply and
power inputs!
Connect a communication line by means of corresponding terminals. Connection information is stated on the
instrument label. Connector terminals are marked on the label on the upper side of the instrument.
USB connector is positioned on the bottom side of an instrument under removable plastic cover. For driver installation
see Note on the next page. Instrument will establish USB connection with PC approx. 3 seconds after physical connection
to USB port.
More detailed information about communication is given in chapter Communication on page 20.

RS232
RS232 communication is intended for direct connection of the Device to the personal computer. For proper operation
it is necessary to assure the corresponding connection of individual terminals (see table: Survey of communication
connection on page 15).
