True RMS Convertor | IRFrms

Converting ac-dc input to dc or frequency output for automation and control

IRFrms transducers convert AC to dc or AC+DC to dc and DC to Frequency. The IRFrms can be used with voltage output current probes, ensuring they provide a precise voltage output proportional to the Arms. Voltage to frequency conversion is possible

IRF rms converter

Description

One of our DC Transducers, the IRF-rms, is an instantaneous to true rms converter, matching the performance of high-end true rms voltmeters Its purpose is to convert ac, ac+dc signals to an isolated dc signal representing the rms. Its output signal can be scaled to meet most requirements, voltage or 4-20mA current loops, isolated or non isolated.

The IRF-rms is used typically in applications with voltage output current probes, current shunts and current transformers - providing an isolated signal that can be connected to a computer or data logger. The IRF-rms can be configured to operate with most current probes, current sensors and dataloggers. High voltage options up to 1000V are possible using model VTHR.

One key feature of the IRF-rms is that it allows current probes and CTs to have both rms and instantaneous outputs, allowing the user diagnostic possibilities as well as metering.

The IRF-rms can be powered from 5Vdc-125Vdc and AC 90-240Vrms
