AC Current Transducer (0 - 300 A range)
AT/ATR-MS Series Current Transducers combine a current sensing element and signal conditioner into a single package. The large, easy-to-install split-core design allows for installation over existing conductors without the need to disconnect the load, even in applications where there are multiple conductors per phase. Whether installing over existing conductors or in a new control system, installation is very simple and quick. Just remove the top portion of the sensing ring, place the conductors inside, and snap the top back in place. This AC current transducer uses two wires to connect to the power supply or the load, (a programmable logic controller, a panel meter, or a data acquisition system).
AC Current Transducer Applications
Monitor Large Machines
- Measure the current use to detect over or undercurrent conditions before they cause break downs.
Water Delivery and Treatment
- Detect open discharge lines.
- Locate clogged filters or blocked intake to pumps
Grinding and Shredding
- An analog output will allow the control system designer to allow brief periods of drive overload when the processed product varies in density. If the blades hit something foreign (e.g. steel when the machine is designed to reduce paper), then the control will alarm or shut down the process.
