## **Features** 

- VFD and SCR waveforms current measurement 

- True RMS responding 

- Split core box 

- Current output 

- Loop powered transducers 

- Panel mounting 

- Jumper selectable ranges 

## **Advantages** 

- Large aperture 

- High isolation between primary and secondary circuits 

- Easy to mount 

## **Applications** 

   - VFD Controlled Loads: VFD output indicates how the motor and attached load are operating. 

   - SCR Controlled Loads: Acurate measurement of phase angle fired or burst fired (time proportioned) SCRs. 

   - Switching Power Supplies and 

- Note: 1) For 4-20mA output model, no saturation output up to 23 mA. 

## **Selecting the transducer** 

VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) and SCR (Semi Conductor Rectifier) output waveforms are rough approximations of a sine wave. There are numerous spikes and dips in each cycle. AKR transducers use a mathematical  algorithm called “True RMS,” which integrates the actual waveform over time. True RMS is the only way to accurately measure distorted AC waveforms. _Select AKR transducers for_ 

- Electronic Ballasts: True RMS sensing is the most accurate way to measure power supply or ballast input power. 

## **Options on request** 

- DIN mounting 

_nonlinear loads or in “noisy” power environments._
