Innovative current monitoring system

Africa Automation Fair 2017 Preview Electrical Power & Protection

Mico Pro is the new and innovative current monitoring system from Murr Elektronik. Equipped with a patented tripping process, its modularity significantly simplifies switch cabinet wiring. Diagnostics can be found on the module or via the PLC channel-specific switching. Up to 30 000 μF can be loaded per channel, so it’s possible to monitor a number of high capacitive loads with one device. To find out more about the Mico Pro’s many features visit Stands E1-E4.
