CR4260-10

Current Sensors Overview

The CR4260-10 is a loop-powered AC current transducer from CR Magnetics Inc. designed for remote monitoring of AC sinusoidal currents. It features a solid core design with two elements and operates within a frequency range of 50 to 400 Hz. The device accepts an input current ranging from 0 to 10 A and provides a calibrated 4 to 20 mA DC output signal proportional to the average RMS input. It includes a 500 ohm load capacity and offers 2500 V isolation.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• Provides calibrated analog output proportional to average RMS input current
• Loop-powered operation eliminates need for separate power supply
• Solid core construction facilitates easy installation without circuit interruption

Current Sensors Applications

• Remote current detection in industrial panels
• Monitoring motor faults and performance
• Surveillance of heating and lighting elements

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix matches the required input range, as the CR4260 series includes variants for different amperage ratings. Confirm the application requires loop-powered operation compatible with standard PLC inputs. Ensure the operating frequency falls within the 50-400 Hz specification. Check for any specific mounting requirements regarding DIN rail or panel installation compatibility.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 0-10 A input range is required for AC sinusoidal current monitoring. Consider the CR4260 series for applications needing simple wiring and cost-effective integration with standard instrumentation. Evaluate the 500 ohm load limit against the receiving device's impedance. Choose this variant over voltage-output models if loop-powered simplicity is preferred.

Current Sensors Part Context

The CR4260-10 belongs to the CR4260 family of loop-powered AC current transducers. This series is engineered for industrial automation and motion control environments. The devices are characterized by high accuracy and straightforward interface capabilities with most commercial instruments. They utilize a robust package suitable for demanding operational conditions.

Current Sensors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other CR4260 variants such as the CR4260-5 or CR4260-20, provided the input current range aligns with system requirements. Verify that replacement units maintain the same 4-20 mA output format and frequency response characteristics.
