Functional Devices RIBXKTA adjustable current sensor measures and detects the electric current flowing through a circuit. It plays a crucial role in the automotive, energy and manufacturing industries. In automotive applications, this current sensor monitors the performance of electric vehicles and ensures optimal battery usage. Similarly, in the energy sector, it is integral to power management systems, allowing precise monitoring of electricity flow in grids. In manufacturing, current sensors contribute to quality control by monitoring the electrical output of machinery and preventing potential faults. This Functional Devices current sensor provides real-time data on electrical currents to help industrialists make informed decisions to prevent electrical malfunctions.
Working Mechanism:
- Functional Devices RIBXKTA current sensor operates on the principle of magnetic induction.
- When a current flows through the monitored conductor, it induces a magnetic field within the sensor.
- This magnetic field is detected and converted into a proportional electrical signal.
- The signal is then processed to determine the current level.
- The adjustable trip points and other features allow for precise customisation, enabling the sensor to trigger alarms or control other devices based on user-defined current thresholds.
Features:
- Functional Devices RIBXKTA adjustable current sensor has a sensing range of 0.50 to 150A.
- It has strip terminals that can accept wires ranging from #22 to #14 AWG.
- This current sensor has two LED indicators to alert users about both over-trips and under-trips.
- It can be secured with screws on walls, control panels and enclosures.
- This RIB Series adjustable current sensor protects elays from moving due to vibrations and impacts.
