API 1080 G - AA Electric

API 6380 G S
Application Information
Monitoring a Current Transformer
PROBLEM
A current transformer (CT) has an output of 0 to 5 amps depending on
the motor current. The 480 V waveforms may be distorted. The readings
need to be monitored by a PLC that accepts a 4-20 mA input.
SOLUTION
Use an API 6380 G S 5A true RMS isolated DC to DC transmitter with
the optional 5 Amp current shunt to convert the 0-5 A signal to 4-20 mA.
The module switches are set so that 0 A = 4 mA and 5 A = 20 mA.
