JC24S-250A-V

Current Sensors Overview

The JC24S-250A-V is a split-core current transducer manufactured by J&D Manufacturing, designed for AC current sensing applications. It features a single pass-through module package with free-hanging mounting capabilities. The device supports an input current of 250A and provides a 5 Vdc output signal. Key technical specifications include an accuracy rating of ±2% and a response time of 300ms. The operating temperature range is specified from -20°C to 50°C. The sensor opening measures 0.94 inches (24 mm), facilitating convenient installation on busbars or cables without circuit interruption.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• Split-core design enables non-intrusive installation on existing conductors
• Provides proportional 5 Vdc output signal for electronic sub-metering
• Free-hanging module construction allows flexible mounting configurations

Current Sensors Applications

• Energy efficiency monitoring systems
• Electronic sub-metering infrastructure
• Industrial automation control loops

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific output type when ordering, as the JC24S series includes variants with different signals such as 4-20mA. Confirm that the required opening size matches the conductor diameter, as the JC24S-250A-V is fixed at 24 mm. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -20°C to 50°C operating temperature range to maintain the stated ±2% accuracy. Cross-reference the part number suffix to guarantee compatibility with the target measurement system.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this model when a voltage output is preferred over current loop signals for direct integration with data acquisition systems. The split-core architecture is ideal for retrofitting existing electrical panels where cable disconnection is impractical. Consider the 24 mm opening dimension to ensure it accommodates the largest cable or busbar in the circuit. The 250A rating defines the maximum measurable current; ensure the primary load does not exceed this limit to preserve sensor integrity and measurement linearity.

Current Sensors Part Context

This component belongs to the JC24S series of split-core current transformers produced by J&D Manufacturing. The series is engineered for energy management and automation tasks requiring reliable AC current measurement. Variants within the family differ primarily in output signal type, such as the JC24S-250A-RMS which provides a 4-20mA output. The JC24S-250A-V specifically addresses applications needing a voltage-based interface for simpler signal conditioning.

Current Sensors Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same product line include the JC24S-250A-RMS, though it outputs 4-20mA instead of 5Vdc. Other models in the JC24S series may offer different current ratings or opening sizes but share the split-core design philosophy. Verify that any replacement maintains the 24 mm opening dimension and meets the 250A sensing requirement.
