CR4170-5

Current Sensors Overview

The CR4170-5 is a True RMS AC Current Transducer from the CR Magnetics CR4170 series. It features a solid core design with three internal elements, supporting an input current range of 0 to 5 AAC. The device provides a 0 to 5 VDC output signal and requires a 24 VDC power supply (±10%). It operates within a frequency range of 20 Hz to 5 kHz and has a response time of 250 ms. The transducer supports a minimum output load of 2 kΩ and functions bidirectionally. Operating temperatures range from 0°C to 60°C, with a maximum supply current of 60 mA.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• True RMS measurement capability for accurate AC current monitoring
• Solid core construction with three-element transformer design
• Bidirectional polarization for flexible installation orientation

Current Sensors Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring precise AC current feedback
• Power quality monitoring equipment
• Electrical panel metering and protection circuits

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix matches the required input range, as the CR4170 series includes variants for different amperage ratings such as 20A or 30A. Confirm that the application environment stays within the specified 0°C to 60°C operating temperature range. Ensure the load impedance meets the minimum 2 kΩ requirement for proper voltage output signaling. Check for any specific mounting hardware requirements associated with the solid core form factor.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-invasive AC current measurement solution is needed for low-current applications up to 5 A. The solid core design eliminates the need for conductor splitting during installation. The True RMS feature ensures accuracy for non-sinusoidal waveforms. Consider the 24 VDC supply constraint and verify compatibility with existing control system voltage levels before integration.
