CDT series
CDT is an automotive grade leakage current sensor family also called Residual Current Monitoring (RCM) or Residual Current Detection (RCD) class B and B+, dedicated to DC, AC and AC+DC leakage current measurement.
CDT - Accurate leakage current measurement
The CDT series is the LEM RCM type B current sensor family designed to measure and protect from AC and DC fault current (leakage current). Our proprietary fluxgate architecture allows the sensor to have best in class accuracy hence protection from potential fire hazards and electrical shocks. The package is configurable up to 4 conductors 48Arms capable, allowing 1 and 3 phases systems and offering an optimized leakage measurement of configurations by design.
The CDT series sensors provide a tripping fault current output and an SPI bus enabling fast response time and detailed fault information. For automotive applications, such as bidirectional On-Board Chargers, an ISO26262 ASIL B compliant version offers additional safety diagnostics.
CDT - Features and benefits
CDT Residual Current Sensor has been designed to achieved best in class performances, measuring and detecting as low as 5 mA DC or AC leakage. CDT sensor family is suitable for various AC charging applications:
- AC wallbox
- ICCPD (charging cable)
- On Board Charger (bidirectionnal)
The CDT transducers are configurable up to 4 conductors 48Arms capable. It allows 1 and 3 phases systems which offers an optimized leakage current measurement of configurations by design.
