RCT-1800-3000

Current Sensors Overview

The Magnelab RCT-1800-3000 is a flexible core Rogowski coil current sensor designed for AC measurements. It features a single-channel configuration with a rated input of 3000 A. The device provides a ratiometric output signal ranging from 0V to 0.333 VAC at the rated current. Phase angle error is specified as less than 0.5 degrees when measured at 50% of the rated current.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• Utilizes a flexible core design for adaptable installation around conductors
• Provides ratiometric analog voltage output proportional to sensed current
• Engineered specifically for alternating current (AC) sensing applications

Current Sensors Applications

• High-current AC measurement in industrial power systems
• Integration with data acquisition systems requiring low-voltage signals
• Flexible conduit or busbar current monitoring setups

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify that the required primary current rating matches the 3000 A specification exactly. Confirm compatibility with downstream instrumentation accepting 0.333 VAC inputs. Ensure the flexible form factor meets spatial constraints for conductor wrapping. Cross-reference datasheet phase angle limits against system accuracy requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this model only when high primary currents near 3000 A are present. The flexible Rogowski design suits irregular or large-diameter conductors where rigid cores fail. Verify that the 0.333 VAC output aligns with connected metering or controller input ranges. Consider phase angle performance if precise power factor calculations are necessary for the application.

Current Sensors Part Context

This component belongs to the Magnelab RCT series of flexible current transformers. These devices utilize Rogowski coil technology to measure AC currents without direct electrical contact. The series offers various ratings, with this specific model targeting high-amperage scenarios up to 3000 A while maintaining compact flexibility for difficult installations.
