MGS-1800-4000

Current Sensors Overview

The MGS-1800-4000 is a unidirectional current sensor module manufactured by Magnelab, Inc. It utilizes a Rogowski coil design to measure alternating current with a rated capacity of 4000A. The device features a single channel configuration and outputs a standardized 4-20mA signal for integration into monitoring systems. This model is part of the MGS series, designed for high-current applications requiring precise measurement without direct electrical contact.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• Unidirectional measurement capability using Rogowski coil technology
• Standardized 4-20mA analog output signal
• Single-channel module architecture

Current Sensors Applications

• High-current AC power monitoring
• Industrial process control systems
• Electrical distribution network analysis

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires a unidirectional sensor, as this model measures current in one direction only. Confirm that the 4000A rating aligns with the maximum expected load. Ensure the system interface supports the 4-20mA output standard. Cross-reference the manufacturer documentation to confirm compatibility with existing integrator circuits or data acquisition hardware.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this model when measuring high-magnitude AC currents up to 4000A in a single direction. The choice depends on the requirement for non-invasive sensing via Rogowski coils. Consider the 4-20mA output if legacy or standard industrial PLC inputs are used. Evaluate space constraints for the module form factor against other series options like the RCS variant which may offer different phase configurations.

Current Sensors Part Context

This component belongs to the MGS series of current sensors from Magnelab, Inc., specifically designed for robust industrial environments. It shares the core Rogowski coil technology with related models such as the MGS-1800-1500 but differs in its higher current rating of 4000A. The series emphasizes durability and accuracy for demanding power measurement tasks.

Current Sensors Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Related models within the same series include the MGS-1800-1500 for lower current ratings. Verify functional equivalence carefully before substituting with any other current sensor type.
