Current Transformer Overview

VFD and SCR output waveforms are rough approximations of a sine wave. There are numerous spikes and dips in each cycle. ATR transducers use a mathematical algorithm called "True RMS," which integrates the actual waveform over time. The output is the amperage component of the true power (heating value) of the AC current waveform. True RMS is the only way to accurately measure distorted AC waveforms. Select ATR transducers for nonlinear loads or in "noisy" power environments.

The current waveform of a typical linear load is a pure sine wave. AT transducers measure the peaks of these sine waves, then calculate the average amperage. This works well on constant speed linear loads in a "clean" power environment. Select AT transducers for strictly linear loads on "clean" power.

ATR Series

Larger version - 20K - Click

‘ATR’ transducers from NK Technologies combine a current transformer and a True RMS signal conditioner into a single package. The ATR Series provides True RMS output on distorted waveforms found on VFD or SCR outputs and on linear loads in "noisy" power environments. Available in a solid or split core case.

Applications

  • VFD Controlled Loads
    VFD output indicates how the motor and attached load are operating.
  • SCR Controlled Loads
    Accurate measurement of phase angle fired or burst fired (time proportioned) SCRs. Current measurement gives faster response than temperature measurement.
  • Switching Power Supplies and Electronic Ballasts
    True RMS sensing is the most accurate way to measure power supply or ballast input power.
