CR4150-5

Current Sensors Overview

The CR4150-5 is a True RMS AC current transducer designed for non-sinusoidal waveforms. It features a dual-pass-through module with two channels and measures up to 5A AC input. The device provides a ratiometric output of 0V to 5V, powered by 24V DC with a maximum current consumption of 75mA. Key electrical parameters include a frequency range of 20Hz to 5kHz, an accuracy of ±0.5%, and a response time of 250ms. It operates bidirectionally within a temperature range of 0°C to 60°C.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• True RMS measurement capability for distorted alternating current waveforms
• Dual-pass-through construction allowing continuous conductor passage
• Ratiometric voltage output synchronized with power supply variations

Current Sensors Applications

• Phase-fired controlled heating systems
• Quickly varying motor loads
• Chopped waveform drivers
• Harmonic current monitoring

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required output type and input range. Confirm that the dual-element core configuration aligns with the intended installation space. Ensure the 24V DC power supply specification meets system requirements. Check regulatory compliance markings such as UL and IEC standards for the target region. Validate the bidirectional operation requirement against the application's current flow direction.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this model when precise measurement of non-sinusoidal AC currents is necessary. The dual-element core design supports higher precision compared to single-element alternatives. Consider the 0.5% accuracy rating for applications requiring tight tolerance control. The 250ms response time suits steady-state or moderately dynamic load conditions. Verify compatibility with existing DIN rail or panel mounting infrastructure.

Current Sensors Part Context

This component belongs to the CR4100 series of True RMS current transducers manufactured by CR Magnetics Inc. The series includes various input ranges and output configurations tailored for industrial automation and power monitoring. The CR4150 variant specifically utilizes a solid-core transformer design for robust performance in electrically noisy environments.

Current Sensors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include models with different input ratings such as CR4150-15 or CR4150-30 if higher current capacity is needed. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same 0-5V output and 24V power specifications. Cross-reference mounting dimensions and terminal configurations to guarantee physical compatibility.
