Description
2.1
OMNIA®, OMNIGRID and OMNIGRID Connect
OMNIGRID is an OMNIA® Suite product concept designed for monitoring secondary substations
and providing insight into the low-voltage grid together with analytic features. OMNIGRID is a ver-
satile and flexible product that brings both power quality, grid maintenance and the condition of
the substation into focus. The OMNIGRID Connect module is the gateway in the secondary substa-
tion to enable the OMNIGRID feature.
The OMNIGRID Connect module collects, logs and analyses data from various sources. OMNIGRID
is a modularised concept with the OMNIPOWER® CT meter and OMNIGRID Connect as the basic
blocks. Other building blocks in the solution, at substation, can be added such as power analysers
(extension module) and sensors. All blocks communicate with OMNIGRID Connect via RS-485
MODBUS.
OMNIGRID Connect is developed for integration (communication and supply) with both the OMNI-
CON® 2G Modem and in the future Kamstrup Radio Mesh Network (not yet supported).
OMNIGRID Connect supports:
•RS-485 multi-drop network for extension modules.
•Two digital voltage-free (dry) inputs.
Dedicated analogue input designed to measure earth fault currents.
•Simple HMI.
•Powerful embedded ARM application platform.
•Storage for loggers and settings.
•OMNIA® integration, through standard DLMS/COSEM protocols.

Installation of module(s) in primary module area
Warning: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Circuit board assemblies must always be handled at properly designated work areas.
Components used in electronic assemblies are sensitive to static electricity and can be damaged by
its discharge. Circuit board assemblies should be handled by the edges. Avoid touching circuits or
components.
Whenever handling a circuit board assembly, the technician must be properly grounded.
4.1
Installation of OMNIGRID Connect on top of OMNICON® 2G Modem using add-
on interface
OMNIGRID Connect is installed on top of OMNICON® 2G Modem using the add-on interface out-
lined below. It is not necessary to remove OMNICON® 2G Modem if already installed in
OMNIPOWER® meter (and supplied).
It is required to use external antenna for OMNICON® 2G Modem when used together with OM-
NIGRID Connect – remove PCB antenna and install proper external antenna (for example Kamstrup
item 6699448).
Figure 5: OMNICON 2G Modem add-on interface outlined.

4.2
Installation of OMNICON® 2G Modem and OMNIGRID Connect in
OMNIPOWER® meter
Carefully insert OMNICON® 2G Modem (with OMNIGRID Connect already installed on the add-on
interface) in the primary module area of the OMNIPOWER® meter.
Note
The electrical connection is based on a 2x4 pin connector.
Do not use excessive force during installation.
Check that the snap lock is correctly applied.

Wiring
A maximum of four wire pairs are needed to interconnect OMNIGRID Connect with sensors and
extension modules. The specific need for connections depends on use.
Figure 7: OMNICON Connect PCB and terminal block outline.
Use
0.75 mm2
or
1 mm2
(AWG 18/19 or AWG 17) unshielded cable; stranded or single core.
If needed, use a colour-coding scheme if required in relation to local legislation – cable colouring is
not defined within this document.
•RS-485 137 A/- and 138 B/+:
Twisted pair
.
•Analog input (earth fault current) +A and-A:
Twisted pair
.
•Digital intup1 +65 and-66:
Twisted or non-twisted
.
•Digital input2 +67 and -68:
Twisted or non-twisted
.
-68 is preferred to be the same colour as -66.
PCB terminals are based on Phoenix Contact type MKDS 1/ 2-3,81 (www.phoenixcontact.com).
Key parameters:
•Tightening torque between 0.22 Nm and 0.25 Nm.
•Stripping length: 5 mm.
It is recommended to reduce the lengths of cables to a minimum.
Splices in cables should be avoided whenever possible. Splices are prime areas for corrosion, loose
connections and introduction of electromagnetic noise. A single, unbroken cable from OMNIGRID
Connect to the sensor and extension modules is always the most reliable solution.
Be careful when installing low-voltage wiring in proximity to higher voltage wiring. Any wires carry-
ing an AC signal of more than 120VAC are a possible source of electromagnetic interference, and
instrument signal cables should be installed a safe distance from them. If low-voltage cable must
cross over AC power, the two should be separated by an adequate distance, and the crossing
should be made at right angles to minimize induction.
The terminal block for OMNICON® 2G Modem shown in Figure 7 shall not be used.

OMNIPOWER® cable channel
If needed, it is possible to expand the lid “wire opening” using diagonal cutter as shown below.
Avoid pinching cables when remounting cover!
Figure 8: Cable openings in OMNIPOWER® lid.
5.2
Antenna
The antenna must be installed more than 0.3 m away from the OMNIPOWER® meter.
To ensure that the antenna is mounted in such a way that it optimizes the reception conditions,
the signal indicator on OMNICON® 2G Modem must be monitored. Please see documentation for
OMNICON® 2G Modem for further information.

Digital inputs (OMNIGRID Connect built-in)
The two digital inputs on OMNIGRID Connect are implemented as “dry”.
6.1
Digital input 1 - dedicated neutral fault
This input is dedicated to monitor a spark gap.
Detection of an overloaded earth connection (in IT-nets) is realized using a spark gap (aka. disneu-
ter).
The spark gap is required to implement a mechanism for activating a potential free contact (i.e.
“volt free” or "dry") that is connected to a digital input 1 on OMNIGRID Connect.

Key parameters:
•Cable length: < 8 m
•Terminal block: +65 /-66
•Default state (no error)*: “Closed”
•Galvanic isolation: No
* The default state of the digital input 1 is “closed”, i.e. when no fault is present, the digital input is
“opened”.
Note
When OMNIGRID Connect is powered up, either “PASSIVE” or “ACTIVE” events are
logged.

6.3
Digital input 2 – dedicated to surge protection/diverter signal
To protect electrical components, it is recommended always to use a surge protection device
(surge suppressor or surge diverter) for installations in the low-voltage distribution net. The pur-
pose of this device is to reduce voltage spikes caused by, for example, lightning strikes.
As surge protectors wear out over time, OMNIGRID Connect can monitor the status of the lifetime
of the fuse.
Note
As of OMNIA 3.4, surge protection signal input is not supported. However, digital input 2
is reserved for this in relation to upcoming releases.

Earth fault measurement (OMNIGRID Connect built-in)
Detection of earth fault current in solidly earthed (low resistance) net types is realized using exter-
nal summation transformer. The resulting current is measured using the OMNIGRID Connect ana-
logue input terminal block.
OMNIGRID Connect
Analogue
Figure 16: Earth fault current measurement in TT net using OMNIGRID Connect.
The OMNIGRID Connect can measure up to 2 A currents using a low-level sampling rate of 1 kHz.
Measured data is filtered using block mean calculation transforming data into 1-second samples.
Note
The majority of summation transformers is magnetic saturated delivering a maximum
current well below 2A.
Key parameters:
•Designed for current in the range: 0 – 2 A
•Summation transformer type: 200/1
•Cable length: < 8 m
•Galvanic isolation: No
•Terminal block: +A /-A

7.1
Data
Earth fault current (incl. maximum, minimum and average) is logged periodically. Averaging is cal-
culated on 1-second samples, and periodic logging is done every 5 minutes.
Exceeded threshold (both directions) causes additional event log entry to be created. Exceeded
threshold duration can be deduced from logs.
Data for both the above logs is transferred to OMNIA® synchronously at a specific time (i.e. not as
asynchronously alarms!).
Current is measured in “mA”.
