Split-core ac current transducers LEM of Geneva Switzerland now provide compact split-core, low cost ac current transducers to pro- vide a TRMS 4-20 mA output from an external 20- 30 V power supply (loop powered). Separate units are available with full scale readings of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 150 A. Available from Denver Technical Products , the transducers are split-core and will accommodate conductors up to 16mm in diameter. The 5 A units are particularly useful in providing a 4-20 mA output from existing CT’s with a 5 A out- put. LEM also offer self-powered versions with 0-10 V or 0-5 V output, corresponding to the same prima- ry currents listed above Enquiries:Tel. +27 (0)11 626-2023 or email den- vertech@pixie.co.za
