Current Sensors

filter_list

Current sensors detect and convert current into a measurable output voltage, which is proportional to the current. The most common current sensor is a current sensing resistor, which can be considered a current-to-voltage converter. A current sensing resistor inserts the resister into a current path and the current is then converted into a voltage. There are a wide variety of sensors, and each sensor is suitable for a specific current range and environmental condition. 

ACI Fixed Current switches, or “Status” switches, are designed for use in any AC current monitoring application to determine the ON/OFF status for a particular piece of equipment. The current switches are available in both solid and split-core versions. Applications include: Pump Status, Fan Status, Compressors, Motor Status, Ovens, Industrial Equipment, Lighting Status and Usage, Electrical Load Status and Local Alarms (Strobes and Audible Alarms). 

ACI Adjustable Current switches are designed for use in any AC current monitoring application to monitor a particular piece of equipment for equipment failure, preventative maintenance, status, and electrical load status. The current switches are available in both solid and split-core versions. Applications include: Overload Conditions, Underload Conditions, Normal Operating Conditions, Broken Belts, Belt Slippage, Locked Rotors, Equipment Failure, Fans, Pumps, Compressors, Motors, Ovens, Industrial Equipment, Lighting Status and Usage, Electrical Load Status, Local Alarms (Strobes and Audible Alarms) and Preventative Maintenance Scheduling.

ACI 147657 PS3HD-C-D-N Current
ACI 147657 PS3HD-C-D-N Current
$3292.50
The PowerScout PS3HD has been designed to be one of the safest and most flexible power meters on the market today. The meter can be used to monitor any Single or Three phase service panel or piece of equipment that meets a power supply range of 90 to 600 VAC. All PS3HD power meters include all four Serial/Ethernet BACnet and Modbus communication protocols. Any Standard and Revenue Grade mV output current transformers from Dent Instruments can be used to monitor currents from 0.25 to 4000 Amps. This reduces lead time and number of sku’s required when compared to other power meters that must be factory configured. The CT’s are sold separately as shown on the Standard and Revenue Grade CT’s product data sheets. Additional features such as the Tri-Color PhaseChekTM display, DIN rail or Wall mount, positive and negative Modbus Registers for bi-directional metering, ViewPointTM

Digital signals are represented in either a true or false. There is no gray area with digital signals. An example of this might be a light switch. A light switch is either on or off. Another example of this might be a motor that is running or not running. Digital signals can be generated with both AC and DC circuits with varying voltages, currents and resistance. Some practical examples of using digital signals in an industrial environment might be if a pump is running or not running or a whether a valve is open or closed.

Analog signals convey information in the form of a range. A light switch might be on or off as a digital signal, but a dimmer switch would be an analog signal. It can be on or off, but it can also be somewhere in between. A practical example of using analog signals in an industrial environment would be if there is a need to measure the level of a tank; whether it's full, empty or somewhere in between. Analog signals can take many different forms with some of the more common being a 4 to 20 milliamp signal or a 0 to 5 or 0 to 10 volt signal. 

Communication in a device can either be sent or received. Whether that data is sent or received depends on the type of information. Is there a need to monitor the status of something? If so, an input needs to be received about that information. Is there a need to control something? If so, an output needs to be sent about what needs to occur. Receiving inputs and setting outputs are both things that can be accomplished by using both digital and analog signal types. Therefore, the signals are referred to as analog outputs (AO), analog inputs (AI), digital inputs (DI) or digital outputs (DO).
