Product Highlight: Non-Intrusive Split-Core Current Transducers for Motor Current Monitoring − Quick Delivery from our UK factory!

When it comes to monitoring the running current of motors, although we do offer conventional Ring type Current Transformers along with associated Din Rail mounted Transducers to convert the secondary 0-1 Amp or 0-5 Amp signals to 4-20mA, have you ever considered the advantages of using Non-intrusive Split-core Current Transducers ?

Non-intrusive split-core current transducers offer an efficient and cost effective solution for motor current monitoring.

Split-core transducers allow for the measurement of current without the need for physically breaking into or modifying existing electrical wiring arrangements, by simply opening the transducer and placing it around the existing cables, hence a ‘non-intrusive’ option.

This ease of installation is one of the advantages of using split-core transducers, however another great advantage is that they also provide a direct 4-20mA isolated output as a 2-wire or 3-wire loop connection to your data logger, plc or other device in the control system, without the need for any additional signal interface or conditioning modules.

The split-core transducers themselves are rated up to SIL 2 in 1oo1 architecture (HFT:0 , IEC 61508-2) for use in critical safety monitoring applications, and are suitable for either Din Rail (TS35) or direct Surface mounting. Customer output loop connections are available as either screw connector blocks or integrated sleeved cable lengths, to suit different applications.

Input current monitoring ranges are available from 0-10 Amp up to 500 Amp AC, or 0-2 Amp up to 6000 Amp DC, and any intermediate current ranges may be specified.

Please do contact our sales team with your full specification requirements if you would like any help in choosing the current transducer to best suit your current monitoring application.
