CR4460-10

Current Sensors Overview

The CR4460-10 is a two-element current transducer manufactured by CR Magnetics, designed for AC current sensing applications. It features a split-core design with a .26-inch window to accommodate conductors up to 10A AC input range. The device produces a DC output signal proportional to the average RMS input AC current, available in 0-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC, or 4-20 mADC configurations. It operates on a 24V power supply and supports DIN rail or panel mounting.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• Split-core construction allows for easy installation around existing busbars without disconnecting the circuit
• Dual-element design enables multi-point current sensing within a single compact module
• High accuracy performance suitable for interfacing with commercial instrumentation

Current Sensors Applications

• Multi-point current sensing and control panels
• Motor fault monitoring systems
• Heating element monitoring circuits
• Lighting element monitoring applications

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required output signal type (0-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC, or 4-20 mADC) as these variants are functionally distinct. Confirm the split-core configuration is required for the installation environment. Ensure the primary conductor size fits within the specified .26-inch window aperture. Check regulatory compliance requirements against UL 61010B-1 and IEC 61010-1 standards for the intended deployment region.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this model when a split-core solution is necessary for retrofitting or non-invasive monitoring of AC currents up to 10A. The dual-element architecture provides cost-effective multi-point sensing compared to individual single-element units. Consider the physical mounting constraints for DIN rail or panel installation. Evaluate the need for galvanic isolation provided by the transformer design in noisy electrical environments.

Current Sensors Part Context

This component belongs to the CR44xx series of current transducers from CR Magnetics. The series is characterized by low-cost construction and high accuracy. Unlike single-element models such as the CR4410, this variant utilizes a two-element core structure to support simultaneous sensing channels. It shares common interface options and regulatory certifications with other models in the family.

Current Sensors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other CR Magnetics split-core transducers with compatible window sizes and output signals. Verify that alternative part numbers maintain the same 10A AC input range and 24V power requirement. Cross-reference mounting dimensions if replacing in a fixed enclosure.
