Quick Fit Ac Or Dc Current Monitoring Relays
LEM has introduced families of current monitoring relays that combine a current sensor and a relay in a single split-core package, making them suitable for cabinet applications in process automation.
Colour Display And Extra Memory To Power Analyser
LEM has enhanced its Norma 4000 power analyser with a colour display and a memory option, no other analyser offers such high performance and accuracy in such a compact box.
They share the same mechanical design, measuring 40 x 46 x 18 mm and having a 22mm diameter aperture for the primary conductor.
The internal reference voltage (Vcc/2) is provided on a separate pin or can be forced by an external reference (between 2 and 2.8V) for reference thermal drift cancellation.
At Ipn, the HTFS output is equal to the reference used +/-1.25V (fixed gain).
If an external reference is not used, the initial offset is ratiometric and equal to Vcc/2.
Designed specifically for use in forklift truck drive control systems, two of these transducers typically monitor and measure the currents carried into two of the three phases of an AC motor to control the forklift speed.
As these transducers are intended for use with A/D converters and microprocessors, they must be compatible, in terms of power supply levels, type of output signal to feed the microprocessor input, and references used without the need for additional components.
HTFS models meet this requirement by using a unique LEM ASIC, which also offers performance improvements, including better offset and gain drifts and linearity, in addition to an extended operating temperature range of - 40 to +105C, compared to traditional discrete technology.
The transducers are CE marked, conform to the EN 50178 standard and are recognised for industrial applications.
LEM Components offers a five-year warranty for each transducer.
