CR4160-5

Current Sensors Overview

The CR4160-5 is a True RMS AC current transducer manufactured by CR Magnetics Inc. It features a dual pass-through solid core design with two channels, supporting an input range of 0 to 5 AAC and providing a 4 to 20 mADC output signal. The device operates on a 24 VDC supply voltage (±10%) and maintains an accuracy of ±0.5%. It functions within a frequency range of 20 Hz to 5 kHz and has a response time of 250 ms. The unit is housed in a module package suitable for DIN rail or panel mounting.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• True RMS measurement capability for accurate reading of distorted AC waveforms
• Dual pass-through solid core architecture enabling non-invasive installation
• Integrated conditioning module for stable signal processing

Current Sensors Applications

• Monitoring AC current in industrial power distribution systems
• Integration into SCADA systems for real-time energy management
• Quality analysis of electrical loads with non-linear characteristics

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official catalog to ensure correct output configuration and accuracy class. Confirm that the required supply voltage matches the 24 VDC specification. Check physical dimensions against available DIN rail or panel mounting space. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the intended environmental conditions. Request the latest datasheet to validate any recent revisions to the pinout or mechanical drawings.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this component when precise measurement of non-sinusoidal AC currents is required. The dual-channel design allows simultaneous monitoring of multiple phases or circuits within a single enclosure. Consider the 20 Hz to 5 kHz frequency range to ensure compatibility with the system's operational bandwidth. The 4 to 20 mADC output is suitable for standard industrial control interfaces. Evaluate the solid core requirement against existing busbar or cable configurations.

Current Sensors Part Context

This part belongs to the CR4160 series of True RMS AC current transducers from CR Magnetics Inc. The series utilizes transformer-based sensing technology with integrated signal conditioning. Variants within the series differ primarily in rated input current capacity while maintaining consistent output signals and mounting styles. The dual-pass design distinguishes it from single-core alternatives in the same product line.

Current Sensors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other CR4160 variants if different current ratings are needed. Verify interface compatibility before substituting with generic transducers. Ensure replacement units support True RMS calculation for distorted waveforms.
