CPCO-8000-160-BP10

Current Sensors Overview

The CPCO-8000-160-BP10 is a DC-AC current probe manufactured by GMW Associates. It features an open-loop, bidirectional design with a single channel configuration housed in a box-style enclosure. The device supports a maximum current measurement capacity of ±8000A and utilizes a clamp-on mechanism with an aperture size of 160mm. The output signal is bipolar, providing a voltage range of 0.0V ±10V for accurate data acquisition.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• Clamp-on installation method for non-intrusive current monitoring
• Bidirectional sensing capability for both positive and negative current flow
• Bipolar voltage output interface for direct signal processing

Current Sensors Applications

• High-current DC power supply testing
• Industrial motor drive analysis
• Battery management system validation

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BP10 to ensure correct bipolar output configuration. Confirm aperture dimensions match target conductor sizes. Check manufacturer documentation for calibration certificates and environmental operating limits before integration into test setups.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this model when high-amplitude current measurements up to 8000A are required. Ensure the 160mm aperture accommodates the physical dimensions of the conductor. Verify that the bipolar voltage output aligns with the input requirements of the connected data acquisition or oscilloscope equipment.

Current Sensors Part Context

This component belongs to the CPCO series of DC-AC current probes from GMW Associates. The series offers various current ratings and aperture sizes. This specific part number denotes the 8000A rating variant with the BP10 output configuration, distinguishing it from lower-capacity models like the CPCO-4000 series.

Current Sensors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other GMW CPCO series probes with matching 8000A ratings and compatible output types. Verify aperture size compatibility when considering alternative models to ensure physical fit on the target conductor.
