The LEM 731427 is a current transducer specifically designed for use with transformers. This passive device converts high-amperage currents (in this case, up to 200 Amps) into a lower, safer voltage signal, allowing for easy measurement and monitoring of these currents using standard measuring instruments.
Possible Advantages
- Enables safe and accurate measurement of high currents without needing a high-capacity ammeter.
- Provides galvanic isolation between the high-power primary circuit and the secondary measurement circuit, improving safety and reducing ground loop noise.
- Compact design compared to bulky high-current ammeters.
Usage Information
Primarily used in transformer circuits for:
- Monitoring Transformer Loads: Tracks the current flowing through the transformer, aiding in overload protection and ensuring efficient operation.
- Power Quality Analysis: Helps analyse current waveforms to identify potential issues like harmonics or power factor problems.
- Industrial Automation & Control Systems: Provides current data for control systems in various industrial applications involving transformers.
