CURRENT SENSORS
4-20 MA OUTPUT AND VOLTAGE OUTPUT
CTS-A, CTP-A, CTS-V, CTP-V SERIES SENSORS
OVERVIEW
The 4-20 mA Output Analog Current Sensors and Voltage
Output Analog Current Sensors are designed for use in
any AC current monitoring application in which you are
looking to monitor a particular piece of equipment for
proper operation. All voltage output current sensors use
an “Average” current measuring method and should be
used in applications with a pure Sinusoidal AC waveform
that has very little or no distortion/noise on the conductor
being monitored.
The current sensors are available in both solid and split-
core versions which also includes a 35 mm Din Rail
mounting foot for easy installation in panel mount
applications.
The solid-core versions are a great choice for new
installations or OEM applications in which cost sensitivity,
lower trip points and environmental issues like dust and
moisture may be of concern. The split-core version of the
current sensors work great in retrofit applications and for
use on service technicians vehicles since one or two parts
will work in most applications and can be easily installed
without disconnecting any wires. Voltage Output current
sensors are available in both solid and split-core versions
which also includes a 35 mm Din Rail mounting foot for
easy installation in panel mount applications.
For best results, the voltage output current sensors should
not be used in applications with switching power supplies
or variable speed drives due to the limited operating
frequency range. Applications may include monitoring a
resistive type load such as an incandescent light bulb,
heating element as well as any single speed linear load.
In applications where variable speed drives or waveforms
include distortion/noise, Honeywell recommends the use
of the CTP-A-50-RMS Series sensors where you need to
supply 24 VDC power to the current sensors with a 4-20
mA signal. A 249 Ohm or 499 Ohm 1 Watt resistor can be
used to convert the 4-20 mA signal into a usable 1-5 or 2-
10 VDC output signal at your building management
system or PLC. Note that the “True RMS” sensors are able
to be used in all applications since the “True RMS” current
sensors provide the best overall accuracy and should be
used in applications which include Variable Frequency
Drives, Switching Power Supplies, Computers and Data
Centers, Electronic Ballasts, SCR’s, and Variable Speed
Loads.
