Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
Installation and connecting CTs in the cubicle
Depending on the type of kit supplied, the setup will concern: 3 split-core phase CTs, 3 split-core phase CTs + 1 core balanced CT, or 1 core balanced CT. The setup remains the same irrespective of the type of kit used. The CTs are of the split-core type and have an automatic retaining system for cables of dia. 30 to 45 mm (1.18 to 1.77 in).
NOTICE: HAZARD OF INCORRECT CURRENT MEASUREMENTS
- When fitting the CTs on the cables, it is essential to comply with the direction of positioning: HAUT/TOP marking facing upward, wire exit downward (see illustration below).
- The shielding of each MV cable must be re-inserted inside the corresponding CT before being connected to ground (see diagram below).
- The blue wire on the CT secondary (S2) is connected internally to the blue wire (blue wire including a round terminal at the end).
- The blue wire including the round terminal must be connected to the same frame ground as the cubicle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
DANGER: HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
- The current sensors used for measuring must be 1 A or 5 A secondary with security factor limiting the current to 100 A secondary -1 s (according to standard 61689-2).
- Always use grounded external CTs for current inputs.
- The CTs should not remain disconnected, while being installed and power on. If a disconnection is to be made, for any reason whatsoever, a short circuit is required at the secondary part of the CTs. CTs connectors are IP2X.
- Cables of voltage rating greater than 1000 V must have a shield connected to ground.
- The low-voltage insulation of the Easergy CTs means they can only be used on insulated cables.
- Ensure the MV Network is turned off before to install the CTs on the MV cable and making the CTs connections.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

- Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off.
- Do not connect VT adapter directly to the MV sensors. Always use fuse and disconnect switch (maximum voltage allowable on the VT adapter inputs: 10 VAC).
- Never short the secondary of a Voltage Transformer (VT).
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Power supply
The SC150 includes two connectors to connect the power supply. These two connectors are connected together internally in the SC150. Having two power supply connections can facilitate connection between the modules. No strapping is necessary. Connect the SC150 as shown in the following diagram.
Parameters setup
Installation of the SC150 module requires no parameters setup. This is performed during the commissioning/configuration stages. Refer to the User manual and the T300 Quick start for any further information.
Identification
The serial number of the SC150 is formed as follows: Year - Week - Work order, e.g. 15340265 (265th product manufactured, week 34 of the year 2015)
Grounding
The SC150 module must be connected to the ground: Either via the mounting DIN rail. The DIN rail helps ensure electrical continuity (preferably use a DIN rail in 304L stainless steel to withstand the climatic conditions). Either by means of an eye lug and a M4 screw (max. Length 10 mm), screwed in the threaded hole at the back of the SC150 housing (see diagram opposite). Use a green/yellow wire of length 300 mm maximum (11.81 in) and 4 mm² section (11 AWG) for the connection between the eye lug and the ground.
NOTICE: HAZARD OF INCORRECT CURRENT MEASUREMENTS
- The DIN rail on which the SC150 is installed must be grounded and of metallic type and must comply with electrical continuity in all climatic conditions.
- If the SC150 is installed on a PS50 power supply module, the grounding of the module is done via the PS50's DIN rail, which must be grounded via a dedicated terminal near the PS50 power input connector. Refer to the Installation Guide of the PS50 power supply.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
Meaning of indicator colors and states
Once the SC150 has been powered up, some indicator lamps on the front panel may be lit to indicate certain operating states. The buttons allow the user to perform actions. These indications and actions are summarized in the table below:
SC150 states:
- 1.1 SC150 operating, communication status with the HU250
- 1.2 Equipment status (potential software error, potential hardware fault, potential configuration error).
Local/Remote
- 2.1 Remote mode: Local controls via the front panel (or the WI-FI) of the SC150 module are locked. Orders are possible from the control center.
- 2.2 Local mode: Controls via the front panel (or the WI-FI) are possible. Orders coming from the control center are locked.
Note: The Local/Remote position displayed on the SC150 is a duplication of the display managed on the HU250 module.
Automatic control states and checks
- 3.1 Automatic control enabled
- 3.2 Automatic control disabled
- 3.3 Automatic control locked
Note: The automatic control states displayed on the SC150 are a duplication of the display managed on the HU250 module.
Customizable indicator lamps
- 4.1; 4.2; 4.3 3 unassigned indicator lamps for indication of customized states. By default, the first indicator is assigned to the states of a fictitious switch which can be opened or closed for simulation: Switch opened/closed position (green = open, red = closed). Note: The other two LEDs are not customizable. So, they are not usable.
Local control on switch
- 5.1 Control enabling button. This button must be pressed simultaneously with the change-of-state button (ON or OFF) for control to be accepted.
- 5.2 Button for placing the switch in closed state (ON).
- 5.3 Button for placing the switch in open state (OFF).
Switch state
Switch position symbolized by an illustration in two colors:
- 6.1 Vertical/red: closed position
- 6.2 Oblique/green: open position
Earthing/Grounding switch state
Earthing/Grounding switch position symbolized by two states and one color:
- 7.1 Extinguished: Earthing/Grounding switch in open position
- Green: Earthing/Grounding switch in closed position
Voltage presence
- If DI6 used: 8.1 Red: power on (DI enabled). Extinguished: power off (DI disabled).
- If voltage sensor used: 8.1 Red: power on 3 phases. Extinguished: invalid measure or power off on 3 phases. Orange: power on or off on at least one of the phases.
Fault current detection
Fault current detection is symbolized by two arrows that can indicate the direction of the fault current (for directional fault current type only):
- 9.1 Arrow pointing backward, lit in green: fault current present, flowing in the direction indicated by the arrow (toward the busbar).
- 9.2 Arrow pointing forward, lit in red: fault current present, flowing in the direction indicated by the arrow (toward the network). Also serves to indicate the presence of an ammetric type fault current.
