state (i.e., when setpoint has been exceeded) for system commissioning and testing.
Self-Powered• Reduces installation time and costs.
Adjustable Setpoint• Trip point adjustment from 1–150A.
Integral Mounting Feet• Molded in feet screw mounting or attachment of DIN-
compatible brackets.
Applications
System Monitoring and Status• Monitor fan, pump or heater status; sense when
equipment is on and operating at normal current draw levels.
• Provide electronic “proof of fl ow” without duct or pipe sensor installations.
Conveyor Loading or Jam Sensing• Monitor load on conveyor motors to detect when jams or
overloads occur.• Helpful when interlocking multiple conveyors sections.
Heaters & Lighting Circuits• Sense system operation; faster reacting than thermal motor
overloads and more accurate than photocells in lighting applications.

ATR SERIES Current Transducers
ATR Series Current Transducers combine a current transformer and a True RMS signal conditioner into a single package. The ATR Series provides True RMS output on distorted waveforms found on VFD or SCR outputs, and on linear loads in “noisy” power environments. Available in a solid- or split-core case.
Applications
VFD Controlled Loads• Monitoring VFD output indicates how the motor and
attached load are operating.
SCR Controlled Loads• Accurate measurement of phase angle fired (time
proportioned) SCRs.• Current measurement gives faster response than
temperature measurement.
Switching Power Supplies and Electronic Ballasts• True RMS sensing is the most accurate way to measure
power supply or ballast input power.
Features
True RMS Output• True RMS technology is accurate on distorted waveforms
like VFD or SCR ouputs.
Jumper Selectable Ranges• Reduces inventory.• Eliminates zero and span pots.
Isolation• Output is magnetically isolated from the input for safety.• Eliminates insertion loss (voltage drop).
UL, CUL and CE Approval• Accepted worldwide.
Selecting the right transducer:The current waveform of a typical linear load is a pure
sine wave. In VFD and SCR applications, however, output waveforms are rough approximations of a sine wave. There are numerous spikes and dips in each cycle. ATR transducers use a mathematical algorithm called “True RMS” which integrates the actual waveform over time. The output is the amperage component of the true power (heating value) of the AC current waveform. True RMS is the only way to accurately measure distorted AC waveforms. Select ATR transducers for nonlinear loads in “noisy” power environments.

AT/ATR 2, 3 & 4 SERIES Current Transducers
AT/ATR 2, 3 & 4 Series Current Transducers combine a current transformer and a signal conditioner into a single package for applications from 100A to 2000A. The AT version is Average Responding for use on linear (sinusoidal) loads. The ATR version is True RMS for use on distorted waveforms found in VFD or SCR ouputs. Available in a solid-core case.
Applications
Large Pumps• Detect dry run electronically.
Power Generation• Measure the output of generators.
Electric Heating Elements• Monitors heater loads.• Faster response than temperature sensors.
Features
Large Aperture• Accommodates large conductors or wire bundles.
Select the Right Output• True RMS technology is accurate on distorted wave form
like those associated with VFD or SCR outputs.• Average Responding for use with linear, sinusoidal
waveforms.
Jumper Selectable Ranges• Reduces inventory.• Eliminates zero and span pots.
Isolation• Output is magnetically isolated from the input for safety.• Eliminates insertion loss (voltage drop).
Agency Approved• UL, CUL approved.
Selecting the right transducer:The current waveform of a typical linear load is a pure sine
wave. AT transducers measure the peaks of these sine waves, then calculate the average amperage. This works well on constant speed linear loads in “clean” power environments. Select AT transducers for strictly linear loads on “clean” power.
VFD and SCR output waveforms are rough approximations of a sine wave. There are numerous spikes and dips in a mathematical algorithm called “True RMS,” which integrates the actual waveform over time. The output is the amperage component of the true power (heating value) of the AC current waveform. True RMS is the only way to accurately measure distorted AC waveforms. Select ATR transducers for nonlinear loads on “noisy power.”

AC current monitoring of large loads:Loads drawing large amounts of power are connected
to the supply using large wire or bus bar. Disconnecting the conductors and threading them through a solid sensing ring or current transformer is diffi cult and time consuming. With this new design, the sensing is accomplished using a coil without a magnetically permeable core. This allows the installer to pass the coil around the conductors after they are connected with a no need to disconnect. The coil is attached to a signal conditioning circuit, and the output signal is powered from the 24 VDC nominal loop voltage. Simple, easy to install, can monitor sinusoidal or distorted current wave forms at frequencies to 400 Hz, and designed for industrial uses.

Features
4–20 mA Loop-powered Output• Industry standard connections, positive indication of
correct field wiring.

Isolation• Output is magnetically isolated from the primary circuit for
safety.• Eliminates insertion loss (voltage drop).
Agency Approval• UL 508 Industrial Control Equipment (USA & Canada).
DLT Series DC Current Transducers combine a hall effect sensor and a signal conditioner into a single package. The DLT Series is designed to produce an analog 4–20 mA signal proportional to the DC current in the primary conductor. Available in a solid-core or split-core case design. Lower current ranges make this sensor ideal for use in photovoltaic panel combiner boxes.
Monitoring PV Arrays:The current produced by a photovoltaic module or array
can be easily monitored by using the DLT series current sensors over the conductor exiting the collectors. A simple two-wire connection, powered by 24 VDC nominal in series with the sensor output, and the sensor will produce a signal in real time that is directly proportional to the current being produced.
If a single cell fails, or a module quits operating properly, the current output will drop, and the current sensor will reflect the change.
Safer and more stable than shunts, non-contact current sensors are a simple answer to measuring DC current at any point in the PV system.

AG Series Ground Fault Sensors help protect people, products, and processes from damage by ground fault conditions by monitoring all current-carrying conductors in grounded single- and three-phase delta or wye systems.
Applications
Personnel Protection (typically 5mA)• Detects sensitive ground fault conditions, which may be
injurious to personnel and processes.• Functions as sensor and alarm trigger when part of an
overall ground fault protection system.
Equipment Protection (typically 10mA or 30mA)• For applications where personal protection is not the
primary concern, higher setpoint capability helps eliminate nuiscance tripping while still providing adequate ground fault detection to protect machine electronics.
Regulatory• Meets requirements as stipulated by governmental and
industrial regulatory groups for ground fault sensing.
Insulation Breakdown Monitoring
AG SERIES
AG SERIES Ground Fault (Earth Leakage) Sensors
“Zero Sum” Operating Principle:In three-phase delta and wye systems, under normal
conditions current in the ‘hot’ leg of a two-wire load is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to the current in the neutral leg. As a result, the electromagnetic fields surrounding these two conductors cancel, producing a “zero sum current.” As soon as current leaks to ground (fault condition) the two currents become imbalanced and a net magnetic field results. AG Series sensors monitor this field and trip alarm contacts when the leakage rises above setpoint.

AGT SERIES Current Transducers
AGT Series Current Transducers combine a current transformer and a True RMS signal conditioner into a single package. The AGT Series is designed to produce an analog 4-20 mA signal proportional to earth or ground fault current. Available in a solid-core case. When connected to a controller or data logger, NEC requirements for alarm can be met.
Applications
Current Leakage Detection• Monitoring heating or other loads to detect increasing
leakage current.• Pass all current carrying conductors through aperture to
sense zero-sum current.
Very Light Loads• Accurate measurement of very small but critical loads.• Current measurement gives faster response than
temperature measurement .
Features
True RMS Output• True RMS technology is accurate on distorted waveforms
like VFD or SCR outputs.
Single Range• No chance of field range selection errors.• Eliminates zero and span pots.
Isolation• Output is magnetically isolated from the input for safety.• Eliminates insertion loss (voltage drop).
Agency Approval• UL, CUL 508 listed.
Selecting the right ground fault detector:NEC Article 427-22 requires that fault currents be
monitored on industrial equipment. However, where maintenance and supervision ensure that only qualified persons will service the equipment and continued circuit operation is necessary for safe operation and processes, alarm indication is also required. A fault current transducer can send a signal to a panel meter with alarm contacts or a controller. As an example, the alarm points can be configured so one alarm is initiated when fault current reaches 30 mA, and another when it rises above 70 mA. Ground fault protection is required in many applications, and NK Technologies has a sensor that can be coupled with your control system to provide this needed alarm or circuit disconnection.

APT SERIES Power Transducers
Pump Motor KW Monitoring
APT Series power transducers sense true, “active” power and are a cost-effective way to measure kW on 1Ø or 3Ø applications. up to 600VAC. Powered by 24V, 120V, or 220V supply, the APT provides a fully isolated 4–20mA proportional output making it compatible with most supervisory controllers, panel meters and data loggers. Housed in a compact, DIN-compatible enclosure, the APT accepts standard 5A or 0–333mV current transformer inputs.
Applications
True, Active Power Monitoring• Measure motor power consumption when current
alone provides insufficient resolution (e.g. voltage or PF variation).
• Monitor machine tool finishing operations such as deburring.
• Sense brush entanglements in carwash systems.• Detect dry run or blockages on pumping systems.• Monitor SCR fired electrical heaters.• Monitor general power usage and tripping of electrical
loads.
Features • 4–20mA proportional output to kW; compatible with PLC
and datalogging equipment.• Accepts 5A secondary CTs or 0–333mV ProteCT™ CTs.• DIN-rail compatible package; finger-safe terminals*.
*For panel mounting see DIN Rail mounting kit accessory page.
APT
0-5/10VDC4-20mAkW Output

ф
APT Output Values The APT Power Transducer will produce the full range
output when the current transformer is producing its maximum output and the voltage is also at the range maximum.
As an example, using the APT-48T-5A-024-420 with 400:5 current transformers, the transducer will produce an output of 20mA with voltage at 480, and with the load using 400 amps. When using one current transformer to monitor a single phase load this will represent 192,000 watts with unity power factor. The equation for single phase watt calculation is E (voltage) times I (amps) times power factor.
Continuing with the example, if the transducer is monitoring a three phase load, with voltage at 480 and three current transformers connected, the transducer will produce an output of 20mA when there is 400 amps in each phase, and again, unity power factor. This output signal will represent 332,544 watts. The equation for three phase watts is E (voltage) times I (amps) times √3 (1.732) times power factor.
The transducer can also monitor a three phase load, using two current transformers. The transducer will produce an output of 14.67mA when there is 400 amps in two phases and unity power factor, and the monitored voltage is 480. This output signal will represent 2/3 of the actual wattage.

APT SERIES
In summary, the APT can be used to monitor single or three phase loads, and the output is scaled to represent the actual watts used by the load on a three phase circuit with three current transformers connected, 2/3 of the full scale output with two current transformers on a three phase circuit, and the actual watts used with one current transformer monitoring a single phase load. The transducer output depends on the current transformer ratio, the monitored voltage and how many current transformers are connected.

APMR SERIES Power Transducers
APMR Series power monitoring relays are intended for sensing true, active power and measuring KW on 1Ø or 3Ø applications. Applicable on nominal circuits of 120, 240, 480, and 600VAC, the APMR offers multiple relay outputs adjustable to trip when desired power thresholds are reached. As an added benefit, a fully isolated 4–20mA output proportional to sensed KW is standard. All trip points and associated time delays are individually adjustable and each has its own status LED. Applicable on variable frequency systems, the APMR comes in a compact, DIN-compatible enclosure and is an ideal choice for applications requiring power sensing and reporting.
Features • Dual output relays for switching loads once power trip
points are reached.• Accepts 5A secondary CTs or 0–333mV ProteCT™ CTs• 4–20mA proportional output to KW for compatibility with
PLC and datalogging equipment.• DIN-rail compatible package; finger-safe terminals*.• Built-in adjustable time delays.
*For panel mounting see DIN Rail mounting kit accessory page.

Supplemental Applications
Powering Multiple Transducers From a Single SupplyFor applications where multiple loop-powered (4-20mA output) transducers are installed, it may be cost-effective to power multiple transducers from one power supply as shown.
Use of Auxiliary CT to Monitor Fault Currents in Large ConductorsBy using an auxiliary CT to fit around large conductors, ground fault currents of 25mA and up may be sensed by using multiple turns of the CT secondary through the aperture of the ground fault sensor as shown. As the number of turns required varies based on CT value, desired trip points and sensor setpoint, contact factory for assistance in this application.
Sensing Ultra Low Currents with AT/ATR Series TransducersIn an instance where the monitored current is well below 1A nominal, it may be practical to wrap the conductor through the aperture multiple times to magnify the signal. For transducer applications, care must be taken to correctly scale PLC/Controller inputs to correct values as each pass of the conductor through the aperture increases the amperage sensed by the transducer. For example, a 100mA signal passed through 5 times will be read as a 500mA signal and yields an output signal of 8mA on an ATO and ATRO Series transducer.

Fan Status: Independent Verification of Operation
Good engineering practice suggests that every control output should have a corresponding status input for verification. On fans and pumps a current sensing switch can be snapped over one motor leg and the output fed to the automation system. NK Technologies’ self-powered Current Sensing Switches will close when the motor turns on and open when the motor is off. By adjusting the setpoint pump coupling or fan belt failure can be detected. This reliable solid-state solution eliminates the need for unreliable pressure current switches and their costly installation.
Electric motors. Electric motors are found extensively in both the manufacturing and processing
industries. Both AC and DC powered motors are used to drive pumps, fans, conveyors and a broad range of specialized equipment. There are many types of motors designed for many different applications, however all require electrical current in order to generate the magnetic fields that are necessary to create rotation. By measuring this current useful information can be made available regarding the status of the motor and the equipment that is connected to it. This may be as basic as independently verifying the run status of the motor or in conjunction with a PLC, for example, to protect a pump against dry run. Thus current may be used to both monitor and protect motors and motor-driven equipment.

MOTORS
DC Motor Installations
Many applications requiring high torque at low speeds, like bridge cranes and log carriages, use DC shunt wound motors. Since it is relatively easy to control the speed of a DC motor by adjusting the voltage to the field windings, precise regulation is afforded to applications like printing press paper feeds or web control of multiple motors in the paper making process. Using an NK Technologies’ DC Current Transducer will provide an analog signal that can be used to keep the motor from over-current situations. Using an NK Technologies’ DC Current Sensing Switch will insure that if the motor field supply is lost, the motor will not over-speed to the point of self-destruction.

Conveyor Jam Protection
When conveyors jam and the drive motor continues to run, expensive mechanical damage to the drive components often occurs. By installing an NK Technologies’ Current Sensing Switch an overload condition, detected by higher than normal running amps, can be used to switch off power to the motor before mechanical damage results. The switch setting can be adjusted so it is not affected by normal changes in conveyor load. Current sensing switches are the modern day equivalent of less reliable electromechanical jam relays that have been in use for many decades.
In situations where there may be large variations in load an NK Technologies’ Current Transducer may be used to feed motor amps to the conveyor control system, commonly a PLC. The PLC may be programmed to accommodate different setpoints for different mechanical loads so that jam protection is provided from light to heavy loads. In situations where the conveyor is not able to accept analog signals NK Technologies has developed a patented transducer with a frequency output suitable for the Digital Inputs of most PLCs.
Saw Load Monitoring
Often a band saw is used to cut logs into rough planks, before the planks are processed into finished lumber. Due to inconsistencies in the log (knots, burls and checks), the speed that the log is pulled through the saw must be varied. The operator will often reduce the speed of the cut when smoking occurs, or the blade breaks. By installing an NK Technologies’ Current Transducer the operator’s job is made easier. By watching the log and a display representing the current draw of the band saw, the operator can achieve a higher rate of output with less down-time.
A similar arrangement can be used with circular saws. The blades become brittle after excessive heating if they are worked too hard. Many automatic systems are in use whereby the current draw is used to reduce the motor load typically by reducing the feed-rate.

Crusher/Grinder/Shredder Motor Interlocks
The performance of size reduction equipment like crushers or grinders can be optimized by controlling the in-feed in order to
• Help prevent jamming
• Improve the uniformity of the resultant product
• Enhance overall production efficiency
By installing an NK Technologies’ Current Transducer or Power Monitoring Sensors to monitor the in-feed to a crushing process, the speed of the in feed drive can be slowed when the crushing motor is working too hard, or the speed can be increased when the crusher is under worked. The analog 4-20 mA proportional signal is fed directly into a VFD, and the drive does the rest of the control.
Additionally, NK Technologies’ Current Sensing Switches installed on other conveying motors can be used to signal malfunction (for example over-load or motor failure) to help prevent costly equipment damage.
NK technologies current sensors come in a variety of configurations for quick and simple installation either for the OEM or End-User.

Closed Loop Control
Normal linear AC induction motors have a current characteristic that increases with load. Thus a measurement of current is proportional to the motor load. NK Technologies’ True RMS Current Transducers are designed to work in conjunction with variable frequency drives (VFD) and measure the current in the leg of the motor.
At an engine block manufacturing facility NK Technologies’ Current Transducers provide the input to a PLC used to position the rotating wire brushes in order to clean away burrs and debris after machining. As the current, and thus the load, changes so the brushes are positioned for optimal clean-up. Similarly Power Monitoring Sensors are used to control the position of wheel wash brushes in a carwash. Power measurement provides a more linear relationship for motors and other loads with non-linear current characteristics. Current Sensing Switches are used to co-ordinate operations between conveyor, washing and drying systems.
Status Alarming
The auxiliary contacts in a motor starter are commonly used to indicate when the motor is running. However, auxiliary contacts only indicate the position of the contactor, not the actual load status. If a downstream disconnect is open (for example, for maintenance) or the contact fails (either sticks or dirt build-up) there can be serious consequences.
At a large fish farm, failed aerator pumps resulted in massive stock losses. Because the auxiliary contacts remained closed when the pump failed, the alarm was never activated, the back-up pumps were not switched on and the fish suffocated due to lack of oxygen. Now NK Technologies’ Current Sensing Switches have been installed to provide an alarm signal and a signal to automatically switch over to the back-up aerator pumps.

Pump Jam & Suction Loss Protection
Pumps can become jammed due to foreign matter and cause damage to both the pump and the motor before thermal overloads are tripped. Additionally a blockage in the suction line of the pump can cause the pump to run dry, overheat and break a seal.
By simply installing an NK Technologies’ self-powered Current Sensing Switch in one leg of the motor overload (pump jam), underload (suction loss) or underload & overload can be detected quickly before damage occurs.

PUMPS
Pumps. Pumps are similar to fans but they push or pull liquids or gases through a tightly confined space. Most are driven with electric motors, and monitoring
the current or power used by the pump, a great deal of information about the system can be obtained. Bearings wear and cause the pump to consume more energy to operate. An open discharge line will create a condition where the drive motor uses less current than during normal operation, and if the pump is used to move waste water or sewage, the operator needs to know immediately that there is a problem. An impeller can become pitted from water bubbles or corrosion, and this can cause an over current condition. A power monitor measuring all three phases will detect a loss of phase before it can destroy the drive motor windings. All conditions will be detected well before a fuse opens, a circuit breaker trips, or the overload elements trip.

Pump Load Monitoring
NK Technologies’ Current Transducers are used to monitor motor current and therefore motor load. The output from the transducer may be fed to an analog or digital indicator or a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) for more sophisticated monitoring and control.
NK Technologies’ Power Monitoring Sensors provide load monitoring in more critical applications where the addition of voltage measurement and the determination of the phase relationship between current and voltage (power factor) provides more control.
NK Technologies’ Ground Fault Sensors keep the pumps safe by measuring ground leakage currents as low as 5mA. This also provides an alternative to moisture sensors used with submersible pump motors.

Vacuum pumps are used in a variety of applications in the semiconductor industry, heat treatment, plastics and packaging industries. By adding an NK Technologies’ Current Transducer over the lead feeding a vacuum pump, it can easily be determined when all the air has been removed from a vessel or envelope. The analog output can

signal the vacuum or equipment controller that it is time for the next step in the process. In the case of an automated packaging machine, a drop in current will signal that the package is ready for sealing.

Moisture Ingress on a Submersible Pump Motor
An NK Technologies’ Ground Fault Sensor installed on a submersible pump motor provides an easy to install replacement or addition to moisture sensors housed in the motor casing. Unlike moisture sensors that have to be wired back to the motor control center, the GF sensor is installed in the motor control center. By detecting the ground fault current resulting from moisture ingress or other potentially dangerous conditions remedial action can be taken prior to catastrophic failure. Either the pump can be replaced at the next convenient time or switched off and a back-up pump started.

Spin Pumps
Spin Pumps are used in the manufacture of synthetic fibers and yarns. Very precise control is required to insure that the product feed rate and the fiber draw rate is matched. It is critical to monitor and protect these spin pumps because they are the heart of the system and are required to run continuously. By installing an NK Technologies’ Current Transducers, the motor current may be monitored providing the control system with key information regarding load. Variations in load may be attributable to a number of factors such as bearing failure, seal failure, suction loss etc. The measurement of load together with other process variables like pressure and flow can provide invaluable information regarding the operation of the vital spin pumps.

Miscellaneous There are other electrical components and systems that use electric power where current measurement will provide useful and important information regarding status or provide protection.
MISCELLANEOUS
Solar Panels
Photovoltaic arrays are used primarily in two ways to:
• Charge batteries that are used to power remote loads where installing a connection to the utility grid would be cost prohibitive
• Energize installations where the DC power is converted to 60 HZ AC power through a solid state inverter.
NK Technologies’ DC Current Transducers can be installed so the output of the arrays can be monitored. These transducers are available in bipolar versions so that current may be measured during charging or discharging of the batteries.
Additionally NK Technologies’ Power Monitoring Sensors can be installed to monitor the voltage, current and frequency output from the inverter.
