Beckhoff now has novel SCT current converters to complete the power measurement chain from the measurement of the physical value to transmission of the captured data to the cloud. The current range is from 1 Ampere to 5,000 Amperes. There are options such as split-core devices, ring-type devices, and 3-phase current transformer sets.
Beckhoff implements reliable power sensor technology in the field as an integrated part of PC-based control technology. The two device types are in different designs and performance categories with high scalability and use for varied applications. The SCT portfolio ranges from economical 3-phase CT sets for building technology and standard industrial transformers for machines to inspection solutions and test stands that require great precision.
The split-core CTs are easy to install and a perfect choice for trouble-free retrofit solutions. Ring-type transformers are used in new installations for precise data acquisition and cost-effectiveness.
In the case of both, energy management is simplified and the availability of systems and machines is enhanced. Users can do extensive inline analysis due to the continuous, system-integrated power measurement. An illustration is to identify deviations in advance and implement remedial action for downtime minimization.
