Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official GMW Associates documentation to confirm output type and calibration. Ensure the required supply voltage matches the sensor specifications before procurement. Confirm that the conductor size fits within the 160mm aperture. Request the latest datasheet to validate electrical parameters and mounting requirements for your specific application environment.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this model when measuring currents up to 4000A with an open-loop architecture. The 160mm aperture is suitable for busbars or thick cables that cannot be disconnected. Choose this part if a 4-20mA output is preferred over voltage outputs for noise immunity. Consider the 50kHz bandwidth for applications involving fast-switching inverters or PWM signals where higher frequency response is necessary.

Current Sensors Part Context

This component belongs to the CPCO series of clamp-on current probes from GMW Associates. The series offers various current ratings and aperture sizes to suit different conductor dimensions. The CPCO-4000-160-MA represents the high-current variant within this lineup, specifically optimized for heavy-duty industrial and automotive applications requiring non-intrusive current sensing solutions.

Current Sensors Replacement Considerations

The CPCO-4000-160-BP5 is a documented alternative within the same product family. Verify compatibility regarding output signal type and physical mounting constraints before substitution. Ensure the replacement part meets the same 4000A rating and 160mm aperture requirements for direct interchangeability.
