Functional Devices Inc. RIBXKTF current sensor is ideal for monitoring electrical current in applications. It is used in energy management, equipment protection and automation to ensure optimal operational efficiency & safety in electrical installations. This device ensures precise measurement and control of current flow within electrical systems.
Working Mechanism:
- This current sensor operates by measuring the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through a conductor.
- As current flows through the conductor, it induces a magnetic field, which the sensor detects and converts into an electrical signal proportional to the current intensity.
- The switch adjustment method allows users to set a specific trip point, triggering a response when the monitored current exceeds or falls below this threshold.
- The sensor's 1-second trip delay enhances responsiveness to abnormal current conditions, contributing to effective equipment protection & energy management.
Features:
- This sensor features a solid core design to ensure robust performance in monitoring electrical currents.
- This sensor offers surface mounting for ease of installation in various applications.
- It comes with a sensing hole diameter of 0.5 inches to accommodate appropriate conductors for accurate current measurement.
- This device has a pin-type electrical connection, providing a secure and reliable interface.
- It is equipped with two pins / terminals to facilitate a straightforward electrical connection.
- This current sensor operates with a fixed trip point to ensure consistency in its protective response.
