 Precision, AC Current to
Voltage Transducer

The CR4310 series, Current-to-Voltage Transducer

produces a 0-5 Vdc output signal that is directly
proportional to the input AC current. The output
signal is average-sensing, calibrated for RMS.

This transducer is used with process control and

industrial instrumentation equipment. The DC output
signal can be connected directly to a high impedance
analog input of a computer or PLC without additional
signal conditioning.

The CR4310 series will measure up to 200% of full

scale on a short time basis (1 minute or less) and
150% on a continuous basis at its rated accuracy.

To protect external circuits from damage caused by

short circuits or motor inrush currents, the output is
limited to 12 Vdc.

EXTERNAL CURRENT TRANSFORMER 3-PHASE SYSTEMS

An external current transformer may be used with the transducer by
routing the secondary leads through the window opening. Use the
CR4310-5 current transducer with a 5 Amp secondary instrument grade
current transformer. For additional details on current transformers, see
page 22.
Three-phase systems may be monitored by attaching three transducers
in series. The total output voltage will be the sum of each individual
transducer. If each transducer is sized for the full-scale current, the
output voltage will be 0-15 Vdc for 0 to 100% full-scale. As an alternate,
each transducer may be sized for 3 times the full-scale current, then the
output voltage will be 0-5 Vdc for 0 to 100% full-scale.

 2-Wire Current Transmitter,
4-20 mA Output

The CR4320 series, loop-powered, 2-Wire Current

Transmitter produces a calibrated 4-20 mA. DC
output current directly proportional to the average
RMS value of the input alternating current. The
controlled current output is unaffected by variations
in supply voltage, interconnect and load impedance
(within specification limits) to provide a highly accu-
rate means for monitoring alternating current over
long distances.

Typical Applications

CR4320-5 current transmitter when using a 5 Amp secondary instrument
grade current transformer. For additional details on current transformers,
see page 22.
The scaling factor may be changed by threading the primary current-
carrying wire several times through the window opening. The "actual"
measurement range will be the name plate range divided by the number
of wire passes. For example, the CR4320-30 has the name plate range
of 0-30 ACA. Two passes of the wire through the window opening will
then provide an effective range of 0-15 ACA (30÷2).

 4-Wire Current Transmitter
4-20 mA Output

The CR4340 series, 4-Wire Current Transmitter pro-

duces a calibrated 4-20 mA DC signal proportional to
the average RMS value of the input alternating cur-
rent. The output signal is produced by an internal
current generator powered by an external 120 Vac
supply. The output signal is unaffected by variations
in interconnect and load impedance (within specifica-
tion
limits) thus providing a highly accurate means for
monitoring alternating current over long distances.

The 4-wire transmitter allows for direct attachment to

instrumentation. There is no need for external DC
power as required with 2-wire transmitters.

 3-Phase Voltage Transmitter
4-20 mA Output

The CR473 series, Voltage Transmitters are expand-

ed scale instruments designed to accurately measure
three-phase voltages. Each model produces three
discrete 4-20 mA signals which are proportional
(across the selected input voltage range) to the
three-phase input voltage. The output is a true con-
stant current driver which is unaffected by resistance
variations in the output loop of 0-600 ohms. The
CR4730 is designed to measure line-to-line voltages
and the CR4731 to measure line-to-neutral. Both are
average-reading, calibrated to read RMS.

 Current Sensing Relay

The CR4395 series, Current Sensing Relay provides

an effective and highly stable method for monitoring
electrical current. The current-carrying wire is routed
through the opening extending from the top of the
case. When current reaches the level set by the trip
point adjustment, the relay trips and starts the
adjustable timer. After the timer cycles the electro-
mechanical relay is energized. A precision voltage
reference circuit ensures a highly repeatable trip
point. Design of the power-on delay circuitry allows
the supply power to be repeatedly cycled on and off,
without affecting the stability of the current sensing
operation. Calibrated Dial

connection with line "B", power is provided to the relay only when the
temperature controller is cycled on. With this connection, the relay will
energize only when the element is open.

 High Ratio
Current Transformers

CR Magnetics offers a versatile line of High-Ratio

Current Sensors. Installed around a current-carrying
wire, the sensor provides a current output relative to
the AC input current (within specification limits). With
the output connected across a resistive load (burden),
the voltage developed is proportional to the input
current.

 Commercial & Metering
Class Current Transformers

The CR Magnetics line of Instrumentation Grade

Electrical Current Transformers are available in either
Commercial or ANSI Metering Class. The commercial
class transformers are lower cost and well-suited for
current monitoring applications. The ANSI metering
class transformers are higher-cost units intended for
power monitoring applications where high accuracy
and minimum phase angle error are required. Nine
different window openings and eight different mount-
ing styles along with numerous secondary ratios are RL SFT
available to meet most applications. This short form
catalog shows an overview of our most popular 5
amp secondary transformers. Contact factory for dif-
ferent sizes or unique electrical requirements.

 Horizontal Mounting, PCB
Current Transformer

The CR8750 series, PCB Current Transformer pro-

vides a low cost method for monitoring electrical cur-
rent. The transformer is intended to be mounted on a
Printed Circuit Board with the current-carrying wire
routed through the center window opening. A five-pin,
non-symmetrical mounting pattern ensures correct
orientation on the PCB. Two different winding ratios
are available to accommodate various applications.
The graph below illustrates how different values of
burden resistors attached to the output terminal will
provide a number of different output voltage ranges.
