  *KW=(HP)(.746)

For Small Loads:
The capacity can be reduced by taking additional "turns" with the wire through each hole for each phase.

Example: A 10HP unit is reduced to 5HP by taking two turns through each hole.  It is reduced to 3.33HP with three turns, etc.
 

Outputs Available:
0-1mA, 4-20mA, 0-5 Volts, 0-10 Volts.  The output is powered by the Power Cell

To Order:
Specify Model Number, Network Voltage (if not 460 Volts) instrument power and output.

** NOTE: The Current Networks do not limit current.  The Power Cell is not damaged by overloads.

You can approximate the load of an electric motor by measuring the electric current flowing to the motor (Amps). However, this is not the best way to do it since a lightly-loaded motor does not use the electricity efficiently because the power factor is low.

A better way to know the load is to measure the motor power. (Power is measured in Horsepower or Watts.) Motor power gives you a straight line so it works well even when the motor is lightly loaded.

The Power Sensors that we manufacture measure the motor load (Horsepower or Watts) and can send a signal to PLCs, meters or data logging computers. This means the operator can see the actual load status and make make correct decisions.

Often measuring power is fairly complex. However, our Power Cell gives our customers a simple solution.
