RCS-2405-VAR

Current Sensors Overview

The RCS-2405-VAR is a three-phase Rogowski coil module manufactured by Magnelab, Inc. It features flexible rope current transformers designed for high-current measurement applications. The device converts AC input currents ranging from selectable ranges up to 5000 amperes into a standardized 5 A AC RMS output signal. This integrated solution eliminates the need for external integrators by providing a direct 5 Amp secondary output, ensuring accurate energy monitoring with 1% accuracy class performance.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• Integrates three flexible rope current transformers into a single three-phase unit
• Converts high primary currents directly to a standard 5 A AC RMS secondary output
• Provides selectable input ranges including 500, 1000, 2500, and 5000 amperes
• Delivers Class 1 accuracy for precise energy metering and monitoring

Current Sensors Applications

• Submetering systems
• Smart home energy management systems
• Power generation monitoring
• Industrial pump monitoring
• Solar consumption monitoring

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific input range configuration required for your application, as the model supports selectable inputs of 500, 1000, 2500, or 5000 amperes. Confirm that the 5 A AC RMS output matches the input specifications of your downstream metering or monitoring equipment. Ensure the physical length and flexibility of the rope CTs are suitable for the installation environment. Cross-reference the datasheet for any recent product change notices or compliance updates.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this component when a unified three-phase measurement solution is required without separate integrator hardware. It is appropriate for applications involving high currents up to 5000 A where a standard 5 A output interface is preferred over voltage outputs. Consider the physical dimensions and flexibility of the rope sensors for cable routing. Verify that the 1% accuracy class meets the precision requirements of the specific energy management or monitoring system.

Current Sensors Part Context

This part belongs to the Magnelab RCS series of Rogowski coils, which are designed for non-invasive current measurement. The RCS-xx05-VAR variant specifically denotes a three-phase unit with a 5 A output, distinguishing it from single-phase models or those with different output signals like 0.333 V. It serves as an integrated sensing element for industrial and commercial energy monitoring infrastructure.

Current Sensors Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. When evaluating alternatives, ensure the replacement offers a three-phase configuration, a 5 A AC RMS output, and comparable accuracy class. Verify compatibility with existing wiring and space constraints due to the flexible rope design.
