CTHR AC Current Sensors & Transducers: Instantaneous and RMS Sensing

The CTHR current transducers convert alternating current (AC) into an isolated voltage or current loop output, providing precise tracking of AC waveshapes. These transducers offer a faithful reproduction of the measured current, supporting a wide range of applications including process control, transportation, and telecommunications. The available input range of CTHR current transducers covers from 1A to 40,000Aac, and through-hole or split-core options allow for non-intrusive and easy installation.
Key Features:

Wide Input Range: Available input range from 1A to 40,000Aac.
Instantaneous & RMS Sensing: The CTHR transducers offer real-time AC wave tracking, providing both instantaneous and true RMS conversion.
Non-Intrusive Installation: Through-hole or split-core designs simplify installation and operation without the need for system shutdowns.
Isolated Output: Provides an isolated voltage or mA output for reliable signal conversion and transmission.
Fast Response: DC-150kHz bandwidth, depending on the sensor type, along with a fast step response.
Optional DC Offset Control: Nulls residual DC current for maximum output span efficiency.
Wide Voltage Operation: Supports process control voltage systems, including auxiliary AC supplies in sub-stations.

Applications:

Process Control Systems: Including PLC, SCADA, and other control systems in industries such as energy, manufacturing, and utilities.
Telecommunications: Power and current monitoring for telecom networks.
Transportation: Railway and transportation system monitoring.
DC Drives & Welding: Monitoring currents in industrial welding and motor drives.
Circuit Breaker Trip Coils: Used in protection and control systems for circuit breakers.

For all CTHR models, a NIST/NPL (UKAS) traceable calibration certificate and certificate of conformance are supplied.
