Tracking Electricity with the Use of Split Core Current Transformers
Given the planet’s dwindling resources, energy needs to be saved—and there are several ways to go about it. One is submetering to make people more conscious of their energy consumption.
Detecting Electric Current with AC Current Sensors
Electric current is a flow of electric charge typically occurring in electric circuits and such energy is carried by moving electrons in a wire. Electric current may also be carried by ions in an electrolyte or by both ions and electrons like that in a plasma. For monitoring purposes, an AC current sensor can be used to detect electric current and measure it in amperes using a device called an ammeter.
Differences between Transformers and Transducers
There’s no denying that electricity is an important part of modern life. Without the ability to control and measure it, however, people cannot harness its full potential.
Power Line Repair Safety Tips: Using a Reliable DC Current Transformer
As much as electricity has been a true boon for mankind, it is equally dangerous when it isn’t harnessed properly. This is why many people’s hearts skip a beat when they see a downed power line blocking their path. Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened in Portland, Oregon recently. An article from KATU provides more information:
Adapting a New Flexible Current Transformer in a Data Center’s Grid
Power is everything in electronic and mechanical systems, but you need to cut down utility bills whenever possible. In an article for data storage industry portal Server Watch, writer Paul Rubens explains
Using a Quality Split Core Current Transformer for Submetering Work
Centralized power may be a good thing but there are times when people using a facility must shoulder part of the responsibility and obligations, which are mostly made possible by submetering. An August, 2010 article in The Electricity Forum states as much about an apartment complex in New York City’s Greenwich Village
The Advantages of Rope CTs
Rope CTs boast several advantages over their predecessors. Here are some of their fine points
Energy Monitoring with Split Core Current Sensors
Eco-conscious individuals are becoming more concerned that they might be consuming too much electricity and are significantly increasing their carbon footprint. While energy is essential for households and business operations, using just the right amount of power can go a long way to sustain life and not add more to the things that resulted in climate change. To do this, people should start monitoring their energy consumption as this is useful when it comes to planning how to effectively manage future power intake.
Benefits of Using Power Sensing Technology
Without power sensing devices like current sensors, inefficiencies in almost all industries would be more difficult to keep under control. Here are three key benefits of using power sensing technology:
Important Safety Measures for Working with Electricity
When working with electricity, safety can never be stressed enough. You’ve probably already been advised to perform the following safety measures when you went through training with your company. However, there is nothing wrong with taking a quick refresher course. With that in mind, here are safety measures to always remember when working with electricity:
