The PDA6420 loop-powered split core AC current transducer
converts the AC current flowing through a cable or wire to a
4-20 mA signal and can be set up in the field to handle inputs
of 30, 60, or 120 AAC. This nonintrusive device features split
core convenience for easy installation and is a cost-effective
solution for monitoring load or proof of operation. The current
transducer is ideal for monitoring current loads on pumps,
driving fans and blowers, and sensing the status of heating
coils and lighting. When used for load trending over time, they
are effective sensors for predictive maintenance programs.
The PDA6420 is a loop-powered device requiring 24 VDC
power that can be provided by many Precision Digital meters
or by the Precision Digital PDA1024-01 24 VDC power
supply.
