NK Technologies: Current switches to monitor large machines

NK Technologies introduces ASXP-LS Current Switches, which combine a current transformer and signal conditioner and are designed specifically for monitoring large loads; they feature electromechanical relay output, external power source, simple field setpoint adjustment and easy installation.

The mechanical relay contact provides a trouble-free, durable alarm or interlock, improving safety and overall system reliability, while the selectable “Fail Safe” operation provides protection for critical loads.

ASXP-LS current switches are used to monitor large machines for over- or under-load conditions, detect open discharge lines and sense clogged filters. They can also monitor generators to shed non-critical loads when demand reaches a set level. Key features include:

  • Split-core housing: Allows sensor to be installed over existing conductors
  • Easy installation: Snap onto DIN rail or attach to back panel through sensor base
  • Larger sensing aperture: Large window (2.3” w x 3.42” h) easily accommodates conductors and multiple wires per phase
  • Electromechanical relay output: Use with AC or DC control circuits and for no-volt inputs (e.g. timing relay triggers)
  • Load start delay: Adjustable delay allows large motors to start against high-inertia loads without tripping
  • Wide range: Four models available with trip points between 200 – 1600 amps
  • Accepted worldwide: Designed to meet UL, CUL, and CE requirements.
