CR4170-10

Current Sensors Overview

The CR4170-10 is a True RMS AC current transducer from the CR4170 series by CR Magnetics Inc. It features a solid core design with three sensing elements, supporting an input range of 0 to 10 A AC. The device operates on a 24 VDC supply (±10%) and provides a 0–5 VDC output. It functions within a frequency range of 20 Hz to 5 kHz and requires a minimum output load of 2 kΩ. The unit delivers high accuracy for non-sinusoidal waveforms.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• True RMS measurement capability for accurate reading of complex AC waveforms
• Three-element solid core construction for enhanced signal integrity
• Integrated shielding to mitigate electromagnetic interference effects

Current Sensors Applications

• Power quality monitoring in industrial systems
• Motor drive feedback control loops
• Energy management and metering applications

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify that the application environment does not exceed the specified 24 VDC supply tolerance. Ensure the connected load impedance meets or exceeds the 2 kΩ minimum requirement to maintain output accuracy. Confirm that the operating frequency remains within the 20 Hz to 5 kHz range for valid performance data.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this model when precise RMS values are required for distorted AC signals. The solid core design eliminates the need for split installation, simplifying integration into existing busbar setups. Choose this variant over split-core models if higher immunity to EMI is necessary for the specific installation site.

Current Sensors Part Context

This component belongs to the CR4170 series of True RMS AC current transducers. The series is engineered for applications where standard peak-detecting sensors fail to provide accurate readings due to harmonic distortion. The CR4170-10 specifically denotes the 10 A input rating variant within this family.
