Description

The PCTi3ph three phase current sensors convert ac current to an isolated 0-5V voltage or 4-20mA current loop. Optional 0-5A output allows PCTi3ph's compatibility with existing 1A or 5A CT metering circuits. Both offer a choice of proportional (rms) and instantaneous outputs. The available PCTi current ranges are 0-100A to 0-500,000Apk. Both PCTi and PCTrms provide accurate measurement over a wide bandwidth ensuring precise measurement even with harmonically distorted wave shapes - using a flexible clip-on sensing coil. The PCTi3ph are available as single and three phase.

The PCTi3ph 3 phase current sensors can provide all popular process control voltage and current loop outputs along with custom output options. Because the current sensors are split core, installation is possible without shutting down the electrical supply - saving down-time costs and expensive busbar / cable reconfiguration. Typical applications are retrospective energy monitoring in factories, offices, process control systems like PLC, SCADA Data logging systems, all where power, energy and current monitoring is important. Typical loading situations are factories, shops, offices, ac/dc VFD drives, ultrasonics, welding, power conversion and power distribution. For all PCTi models, a NIST/NPL (UKAS) traceable calibration certificate and certificate of conformance is supplied. All PCTi sensors use UL or CSA approved materials.
