MGS-1800-400

Current Sensors Overview

The MGS-1800-400 is a single-channel Rogowski coil current sensor manufactured by Magnelab, Inc. Designed for AC current measurement, this unidirectional module supports a sensing capacity of 400A. It functions as an integrator and signal transducer, providing a standardized 4-20 mA DC output. The device utilizes a flexible rope CT design suitable for three-phase applications.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• Rogowski coil construction for non-invasive AC current measurement
• Integrated integrator circuitry for signal processing
• Standardized 4-20 mA DC analog output interface
• Unidirectional sensing capability for single-channel monitoring

Current Sensors Applications

• AC current monitoring in electrical distribution systems
• Three-phase power analysis and metering
• Industrial equipment current feedback loops
• Signal transduction for control system integration

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact current rating and channel configuration. Ensure the application requires a unidirectional sensor compatible with the 4-20 mA output standard. Confirm that the 400A sensing range aligns with the maximum expected load current to prevent saturation or inaccurate readings during peak operation.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this model when a flexible Rogowski coil solution is required for high-current AC measurement. The 400A rating suits moderate to heavy industrial loads. Consider the unidirectional nature if bidirectional flow monitoring is not necessary. The integrated output simplifies wiring compared to raw coil sensors requiring external integrators.

Current Sensors Part Context

This component belongs to the MGS-1800 series of Rogowski coil sensors from Magnelab, Inc. The series includes variants with different current ratings such as 400A, 1000A, 1500A, 2000A, and 4000A. All models share the same fundamental integrator-based architecture and 4-20 mA output format.

Current Sensors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MGS-1800 series variants like the MGS-1800-1000 or MGS-1800-2000 if higher current capacity is needed. Generic Rogowski coils with matching 4-20mA outputs may serve as functional replacements if physical dimensions and mounting requirements are compatible.
