What is a current sensor? Current sensors, also commonly referred to as current transformers or CTs, are devices that measure the current running through a wire by using the magnetic field to detect the current and generate a proportional output.

The new V4LM seal leakage relay from TELE for liquid level monitoring in conductive fluids combines 10 different monitoring functions in one very compact device. It monitors the level of a fluid via directly immersed probes.

The new, compact TELE SENSact power meters with ModBus RTU interface for highly accurate, flexible, and reliable measurements. TELE has introduced a new range of communication-capable monitoring devices with ModBus RTU interface with a focus on electric energy applications and monitoring of key electrical values in industrial plants.

In this blog I will try to answer these 3 questions: What is a Volt-Ampere rating (VA rating) and when does it apply to a CT? How can I figure out the VA rating for my application? What happens if I get this wrong?

Rotation­ Direction­ Monitoring for Heat Pumps This week we are continuing to look at different applications of Aim Dynamics’ products with a post from TELE Haase about monitoring rotation direction in heat pumps.

The most basic, yet important, part of photovoltaic cell (PV) installation is getting the modules to convert the most solar energy possible. PV tracking systems are used to achieve this. They follow the sun’s position throughout the day, exposing the cell to maximum light. Seamless motion of the panels is absolutely necessary to prevent damages to the mechanical construction.

In today’s post on the Aim Dynamics blog, we’re looking at an application of TELE Haase voltage relays in facility management. Emergency lighting systems must be activated when the lights fail in public buildings, such as schools or hospitals, due to under-voltage. To achieve this, a voltage relay can monitor the 3 phases of the supply voltage in the switch cabinet.

Today we have a post from Vincent Ferreux of Alter&Coop, who used J&D Multi-GEM 18 meters from Aim Dynamics to create an energy management solution for the recycling industry. Alter&Coop is a French cooperative that develops energy efficiency and solar panel solutions.

This week our guest post is from René Ariyama Cantu, who worked with GST Autoleather on a project that involved monitoring AC current. Read more about René’s experience below.
