NK Technologies introduces the ATH Series AC Current Transducer. The ATH is specifically designed to monitor power controlled by phase-angled fired, burst fired or time proportioned silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) in heating applications, without requiring an external current transformer or shorting blocks.
- Patent pending Time Integration functionality incorporated in the ATH design
- Provides an output signal directly proportional to the RMS amperage to ensure accuracy regardless of the AC current wave shape
- Sensor samples the AC current continuously, updating its own time base when the current returns to the load after a pause
- Based on the magnitude of the burst and the time interval between bursts, the sensor output represents the amount of power used by the connected load
- Ideal for monitoring variable frequency drive applications
- High sample rate allows for a smooth and accurate output regardless of the distortion of the current wave shape created by the drive
- Installs quickly and easily via a two-screw panel mount or with optional DIN rail brackets, or suspended from the conductor in any position
- Available in three industry standard outputs: 4-20mA, 0-5 VDC and 0-10 VDC
