CPCO-2000-77-BP10

Current Sensors Overview

The CPCO-2000-77-BP10 is a DC-AC current probe manufactured by GMW Associates, designed for open-loop bidirectional current measurement. It features a clamp-on mounting type with a 77mm aperture and supports currents up to 2000A. The device provides a ratiometric output of ±10V with an accuracy of 1%. Its frequency response ranges from DC to 40kHz, and it achieves a response time of 10µs. The unit is packaged in a box format.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• Open-loop design enables rapid 10µs response times compared to closed-loop alternatives
• Bidirectional polarization allows for accurate measurement of both positive and negative current flows
• Ratiometric ±10V output ensures consistent signal integrity relative to supply voltage

Current Sensors Applications

• DC-AC current monitoring in industrial power systems
• High-current testing environments requiring fast transient response
• Panel-mounted instrumentation for electrical distribution networks

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix BP10 against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the exact output configuration and aperture specifications. Ensure that the required measurement range aligns with the 2000A capacity and that the 77mm aperture fits the conductor size. Cross-reference the ratiometric ±10V output requirements with your system's input interface to guarantee compatibility before finalizing the purchase order.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this model when high-speed response is critical, as its open-loop architecture offers significantly faster reaction times than closed-loop sensors. The bidirectional capability makes it suitable for applications involving reverse current flow. Consider the 77mm aperture constraint to ensure it accommodates the target conductor diameter. The ratiometric output simplifies integration with analog-to-digital converters that require voltage-relative signals.

Current Sensors Part Context

This component belongs to the CPCO series of DC-AC current probes from GMW Associates. The series includes variants with different current ratings and aperture sizes, such as the CPCO-1000 and CPCO-4000 models. The CPCO-2000-77-BP10 specifically denotes the 2000A rating, 77mm aperture, and BP10 packaging/output configuration within this product line.

Current Sensors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other CPCO series models like the CPCO-1000-77-BP10 or CPCO-4000-77-BP10 if current range adjustments are acceptable. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 77mm aperture and ratiometric ±10V output characteristics to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
