Beckhoff EL3453-0020 | EtherCAT Terminal, 3-channel analog input, power measurement

The EL3453-0020 EtherCAT power measurement terminal has voltage

inputs for direct monitoring of high-capacity generators up to max.

690 V AC, as is common in the wind industry, for example.

No upstream voltage transformer is required. The four current inputs

are electrically isolated so that the terminal can be used in all common

grounded current transformer configurations such as 2- or 3-transformer

configurations with star or delta connection incl.

neutral conductor current measurement. The EL3453-0020 can be

used for simple grid analysis up to the 63rd harmonics analysis.

Alternatively, all readings can be combined in a power quality factor

for simplified diagnostics.

Like all measured terminal data, the harmonic content can be read

via the process data.

The EL3453-0020 offers the “ExtendedRange” feature enabling the

use of the full technical measuring range, which equals 130% of

the specified nominal measuring range.

In addition, the EL3453-0020 comes with the option of transmitting

the times of the last voltage and current zero crossing to the 

controller via XFC technology. This can be used, for example, to carry

out switching operations to suit the application.
