While you wait for the PDF to download, here is a generic overview of the setup process:
Install the Current Transformer (CT) on a phase not used for voltage measurement if using a single-phase measurement setup (to achieve a 90-degree phase shift required for legacy calculations), or follow the multi-phase layout instructed by the manual. Crucial: The CT must be installed upstream of both the load and the capacitor bank so it can measure the total combined current.
Connect the phase lines to the voltage measurement inputs. For accurate calculation, ensure the phase selection matches the software programming (e.g., L1-L2, L2-L3, or L1-N). Based on official data sheet tables, here are
The Epcos BR5016 features an advanced self-monitoring system. When a fault occurs, the backlit display will flash and display an error code or text description. Common Troubleshooting Scenarios
Proper physical installation prevents measurement errors and guarantees the controller responds accurately to system load shifts. Physical Mounting
