There are a number of different types of current transformers available on the market today to deal with the various applications they are needed for. One of the configurations that is commonly seen needs a split core transformer. You will likely find split core transformers used in harsh environments or inaccessible places where monitoring of electrical current is needed. Split core transformers are used because their installation is uncomplicated and straightforward. A split core transformer is a hinged device that will snap open and closed over a conduit or conductor. No need for complex wiring installation or lots of screws and brackets to hold something to the conductor.
The benefits of flexibility for a current transformer are pretty easy to identify. Flexibility means that you can put the current transformer capability in different configurations as needed to deal with hard to reach places and mechanics. A flexible current transformer will do the job when it is important to get into those spaces that would otherwise be impossible to get to.
When considering what it takes to correctly and safely work with electricity, it is important to understand some of the common components frequently used. A good example is a current sensor. In the most basic terms, a current sensor is a device that finds electric current normally passing through an electrical wire, and subsequently produces a signal of some kind that is proportional to the current it has detected.
Aim Dynamics is happy to announce that we have recently partnered up with Measurlogic. As a result, our company will now be carrying Measurlogic products, most notably the DTS-310 Energy Sub-meter. This partnership will help further our company’s aim to provide the best services to our customers by providing them with a wide range of product choices.
Now I’m not going to be giving explanations or reasons for differences in Duties and Taxes, just observations. This is because I feel that there are just too many factors to consider, individual countries laws, international laws, currency exchange rates. Regardless, even if I did write down concerning every factor this article would grow to an enormous size and that is not what I want. I want this article to be simple and easy to read.
Global energy demand will continue to increase due to population growth. In a recent Hydrocarbon Engineering report, Emma McAleavey writes that even with energy efficiency measures in place, residential, commercial, and industrial demand for energy will grow between 2010 and 2040.
Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina was rendered blind by a power surge a few days before 2015. The sudden occurrence knocked out radar and air traffic control systems for only ten minutes, but it created hours of delays for incoming and outgoing flights. A subsequent update by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pointed to some line work as the cause.
If you are in need of high-quality current sensors to efficiently manage your business’s energy consumption, then you’ve come to the right place. Here at Aim Dynamics, we allow custom modifications for your utmost satisfaction. You can have your newly purchased current sensors customized with additional AC or DC current transformer accessories.
Aim Dynamics is now offering eGauge power meters, which measure electric power and, depending on how many registers you select, are capable of recording up to 30 years’ worth of data within their internal memory.
Any type of current flow creates a proportional magnetic field, and DC current transducers measure this generated field using Hall Effect technology. Hall Effect is defined as the generation of a magnetic field perpendicular to the current and a voltage difference across an electrical conductor transverse to an electrical current in the conductor. This article discusses how Hall Effect devices work, their limitations, and how they can be improved.
