TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The M100 series current transducers are designed to measure
A.C. Current in single and 3 phase systems. They convert the
A.C. signal to a D.C. Output that is directly proportional to
the input signal.
The M100-AA1 AA3 are self powered (i.e. no auxiliary
required) average sensing RMS calibrated current
transducers, mA and voltage outputs are available.
The M100-AL1 AL3 are average sensing RMS calibrated, live
zero current transducers. Auxiliary is required to provide
power, so that 4mA output signal is present, when the input is
zero.
The M100-AR1 is true RMS sensing RMS calibrated allowing
measurement of distorted waveforms of up to 9th harmonic
with a crest factor of 5. The AR1 is typically used in current
measurement where distorted waveform is common, such as
thyristor drives
The above units are used to measure current in energy
management systems, switchboards, generator and telemetery
controls. Isolation of 4kV is provided between the input and
output signal, allowing the output to be fed to conventional
analogue meters, digital meters, PLC, and computer systems.
