Split Core

You don’t have to sacrifice accuracy to take advantage of the easy installation provided by using an AC split-core current transducer instead of a solid-core design. Any load from 200 to 800 amps can be monitored accurately using NK Technologies’ AT or ATR current transducers in the MS case. The split-core case allows the conductors to remain in place, and the base can be snapped on to a DIN rail, attached with screws to a control panel or suspended from the conductors using nylon cable ties. Some applications where the use of this type of transducers is ideal include: Pump Monitoring: Monitoring the current used by a pump will help to detect several problems that need immediate attention: Loss of head pressure and open discharge will cause the current to drop, and either can damage the equipment or the environment quickly. Bearing wear and impeller cavitation will be reflected in a rise in current. By mapping this increase over time, the equipment can be maintained or repaired
