HVT 300-DV
The HVT 300-DV is a SIL2 shunt current transmitter to measure very high currents over a shunt resistor. This requires a measuring range of 0-60/70 mV. The device is mostly used in hydrogen applications, e.g. to monitor high power and polarisation rectifiers and power supplies to enable a safe operation of the electrolyser processes. With the configurable safe limit values, the HVT 300-DV offers a versatile device for maximum safety
Measure. Monitor. Repeat.
For better insights, better decision-making and better process performance.

Safety Features
Featuring a safety-by-design approach, the HVT 300-DV provides a wide range of diagnostic functions. In order to create a safety loop, the desired output must be evaluated in conjunction with one of the two diagnostic relays REL3/REL4. This way, two individually configurable safety outputs can be created, for which either the relays REL1/REL2 or the 4…20 mA analog output are available.
