Compact current and voltage transducers

June 2003 Sensors & Transducers

New from Timecount is the Rishducer range of current and voltage transducers. These DIN rail or panel mount units are reliable, accurate and only 35 mm wide.

The range consists of standard self-powered types with single or dual measuring range inputs or true RMS transducers with auxiliary supply AC or universal supply AC/DC. The True RMS units convert a sine wave or distorted AC current/voltage into a proportionate DC output signal. (This means that even if the input waveform is distorted, the conversion takes into account the distortion.)

Conforming to international standards IEC 688 for accuracy (class 0,5 and 0,2 depending on model), the transducers offer a high load capacity of 750 Ω at 20 mA. Response time is <300 ms with optimal <50 ms.

Other features include insulation level of 3,7 kV/4 kV, an impulse withstand voltage of 5 kV, electrical isolation between all transducer connections, output short circuit and open short circuit and an option of SMPS supply to accommodate a wide range of AC/DC supply rails.

Connection is via terminals - preferred by electricians - or even multistrand or solid wire. A large space has been allowed for looping wires. The housing is a self-extinguishing polycarbonate moulding.
