ACI A/CTE2-50

The Voltage Output Analog Current Sensors are designed for use in any AC current monitoring application in which you are looking to monitor a particular piece of equipment for proper operation. All voltage output current sensors use an “Average” current measuring method and should be used in applications where a pure Sinusoidal AC waveform that has very little or no distortion/noise on the conductor being monitored. Applications may include monitoring a resistive type load such as an incandescent light bulb or heating element as well as any single speed linear load. Voltage Output current sensors are available in both solid and split-core versions which also includes a Patented 35 mm Din Rail mounting foot for easy installation in panel mount applications. The solid-core versions are a great choice for new installations or OEM applications in which cost sensitivity, lower trip points and environmental issues like dust and moisture may be of concern. The split-core version of the current sensors work great in retrot applications and for use on service technicians vehicles since one or two parts will work in most applications and can be easily installed without disconnecting any wires. For best results, the voltage output current sensors should not be used in applications with switching power supplies or variable speed drives due to the limited operating frequency range. In applications where variable speed drives or waveforms include distortion/noise, ACI recommends the use of the A/CTA2-RMS or A/SCTA2-RMS Series sensors where you need to supply 24 VDC power to the current sensors with a 4-20 mA signal. A 249 Ohm or 499 Ohm 1 Watt resistor can be used to convert the 4-20 mA signal into a useable 1-5 or 2-10 VDC output signal at your building management system or PLC. Applications: Load Trending, Single Speed Loads, Pumps, Compressors, Fans, Preventative Maintenance, LEED, Project Justication (Calculating ROI), Process Control The Voltage Output Current Sensors are covered by ACI's Five (5) Year Limited Warranty. The warranty can be found in the front of ACI's Sensors & Transmitters catalog, as well as on ACI's website, www.workaci.com.
