Current Sensing Line with Ground Fault Sensors
April 5, 2011
AutomationDirect's acuAMP line of currentsensors now includes ac ground fault sensors and dc current transducers andswitches.
The GFS series of ground fault sensors monitors allcurrent-carrying conductors in grounded single and three-phase delta or wyesystems. Available in fixed-core models, the GFS series features jumper-selectablesetpoints of 5, 10 or 30 mA. The sensors can accommodate up to 14 AWG copperwire and feature mechanical relay outputs with either manual or auto reset. TheUL and CE approved GFS series of ground fault sensors start at $136.
The DCT series of dc current transducers combines a Hall Effect sensor andsignal conditioner into a single package for use in dc current applications upto 400A. Designed to be compatible with most PLCs, data loggers and SCADAsystems, the DCT series features jumper-selectable current input ranges and4-20 mA or +/- 10V dc outputs. Available in split-core or fixed-core models, DCTcurrent transducer prices start at $117.
DCS100 series dc current switches have jumper-selectable current inputranges up to 100A and are available in normally-open solid-state and SPDT relayoutput models. The switches are equipped with removable terminal blocks whichaccept up to 12 AWG solid or stranded wire. Prices for DCS100 dc current switchesstart at $90.
All acuAMP sensors are panel-mountable; DIN rail adaptor accessories are alsoavailable.
