The mains transformer is protected against overheating by a temperature breaker in series with the
primary winding. The temperature breaker is casted within the compound of the transformer and has an
opening temperature of 125 °C (± 5 K).
IFC 090i-EEx unit with MODIS modules
The IFC 090i-EEx electronics unit is equipped with a pair of MODIS-modules. It is equipped with one of
the following power supplies.

2 Electrical
connection
2.1 Equipotential
bonding
system
All EEx and EEx/i flowmeters must always be incorporated into the equipotential bonding system of the
hazardous area. This connection can be achieved through the PE/FE conductor connected to the PE
terminal in the terminal compartment (see figure of terminal arrangement below) or through a separate
PE conductor, cross sectional area at least 4 mm
2
, connected to the external PE clamp, placed below
the converter housing.
2.2 Connecting
cables
NOTE:
The below described cables are shown in the following connection diagram.
Cable A:
Signal cable for current output and binary outputs (pulse and status output): The cable parameters must
be in accordance with the regulations in the EN 60079-14 "Electrical installations in hazardous
locations" or an equivalent national standard. For the MODIS version with IFC 090i-EEx electronics unit
(right detail in connection diagram) the signal cable for the intrinsically safe signal in-/outputs must also
conform the requirements as specified in the relevant standard national code of practice for the
installation of electrical apparatus with type of protection Intrinsic Safety "i".
Cable B:
Power supply cable: The cable parameters must be in accordance with the regulations of the EN 60079-
14 "Electrical installations in hazardous locations" or an equivalent national standard.
The PE terminal must be connected to the protective ground conductor of the mains supply.
Rated voltage:
≥ 500 V
