Wiring considerations for turbine flowmeters

Thread Content

1. Use a single, complete cable whenever possible. 2. The wiring location of the turbine flowmeter should be as far away as possible from sources of electrical noise (such as high-power transformers, motors, and strong power cables), and it should be avoided to be wired in parallel with the power supply cables. 3. To prevent water ingress and mechanical damage, it is advisable to place the cables inside metal conduits; however, high-power transmission cables should not be placed in the same conduit. (When the maximum power transmitted by one cable is 10 times greater than the minimum power transmitted by the flow meter signal cable, the two cannot be installed in the same conduit.) 4. It is recommended to use non-soldered clamping terminals at the ends of thick wires. 5. The connection of the cable for the sensor of the explosion-proof turbine flowmeter must strictly comply with the relevant standards for explosion-proof amplifiers. 6. In areas with strong external magnetic fields, the axis of the detection device should be perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic flux from the external field, or the flow sensor or other related components should be shielded using highly magnetic conductive materials.
