Installation and maintenance:

Before installing the ABB NDPI-02, verify compatibility with the target electrical system voltage and current ratings to ensure accurate measurement. Check that the mounting location provides adequate cooling and is isolated from excessive vibration, as environmental factors can affect measurement accuracy. Inspect current transformers (if used) and wiring connections for proper sizing and integrity, ensuring that phase connections are correctly aligned to prevent measurement errors. Configure measurement parameters such as voltage range, current scaling, and communication settings in the system software to match the specific application requirements, optimizing data accuracy and reporting intervals.

For ongoing maintenance, regularly verify measurement accuracy by comparing readings with calibrated test equipment, especially after electrical system modifications. Periodically inspect wiring connections and terminal blocks to ensure they remain tight and free from corrosion, which can introduce measurement errors. Clean the module’s surface and ventilation openings during preventive maintenance to maintain proper heat dissipation. When updating system software, ensure compatibility between the module’s firmware and the connected control system to avoid communication issues, and back up critical configuration settings before performing updates.
