MGS-1800-250

Current Sensors Overview

The Magnelab MGS-1800-250 is a three-phase Rogowski coil current sensor designed for AC current measurement. It features a flexible rope-style construction that wraps around conductors, utilizing the principle of mutual inductance to detect alternating current without direct electrical contact. The unit integrates an internal integrator circuit to convert the raw coil signal into a standardized 4-20 mA DC output, facilitating easy interfacing with data acquisition systems and power monitoring equipment. This model is rated for a maximum current of 250 Amps.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• Three-phase flexible Rogowski coil design for non-invasive AC current sensing
• Integrated signal conditioning providing a standard 4-20 mA DC output
• Mutual inductance principle ensures accurate measurement without galvanic isolation requirements

Current Sensors Applications

• Power quality monitoring in industrial distribution panels
• Energy management systems requiring continuous AC load tracking
• Motor control centers for phase current supervision

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current catalog to ensure compatibility with required conductor diameters and cable lengths. Confirm that the 4-20 mA output matches your receiving device's input impedance and loop power requirements. Request the official datasheet to validate the exact physical dimensions and mounting hardware included with this specific part number.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this component when three-phase AC current measurement is required in confined spaces where rigid transformers cannot fit. The flexible nature allows installation around existing busbars or cables without disconnecting power. Ensure the system voltage and frequency align with the sensor's operational specifications. Consider the 4-20 mA output for long-distance transmission needs to minimize noise interference compared to voltage outputs.

Current Sensors Part Context

This part belongs to the Magnelab RCT-1800 and MGS-1800 series of flexible current sensors. These products utilize RopeCT technology, offering a lightweight alternative to solid-core current transformers. The series is widely used in applications demanding high accuracy and ease of installation on large conductors.

Current Sensors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other three-phase Rogowski coils with 4-20 mA outputs from manufacturers such as Aim Dynamics, provided the current rating and physical form factor match. Verify that any replacement maintains the same mutual inductance characteristics and output linearity.
