Issue
How to monitor if equipment is running without running cables to additional sensors
Environment
Current Sensor switch
Cause
Running cables to and fitting sensors can be time consuming and expensive, are there other ways to monitor equipment?
Resolution
The current drawn by equipment can be monitored within a control panel using the Current Sensor devices.
This method of monitoring equipment will not replace other monitor methods, but will be suitable for some projects
- Detecting belt loss, coupling shear and mechanical failures
- Evaluating lighting circuit and other electrical service run times
- Monitoring status of critical electrical equipment
- Choose from Switch, 0-5VDC, 0-10VDC and 4-20mA
Information on current sensos can be downloaded from the Schneider Electric Exchange Extranet.
