Major product portfolio expansion in energy distribution

Customers can now select from a broad range of current transformers available from Camille Bauer Metrawatt AG. These cover standard current transformers in the SIRAX CT series with 1A or 5 A output, offered in four variants. These are wound current, bushing-type (single-phase or three-phase), split core and compact SC series core-balanced current transformers. The DACT and KBU series, which are important for measuring residual current in electrical systems, were added to the portfolio of residual current transformers. With an RCM, even the smallest residual currents are detected with high accuracy by the detector and transferred to a higher-level measurement device. This prevents damage to people and to system hardware before it can occur. Typical application areas are data centres, hospitals, factories, public buildings, and shopping centres. To complement the portfolio of residual current transformers, the company is introducing unique and intelligent AC/DC current transformers to the market. Their advantage is being prepared to measure single phase currents up to 300AAC (max. 800VAC), or 400ADC (max. 1000VDC) in various frequency ranges which provides planners and system builders maximum flexibility. Energy meters combined in the transformer are also optionally available. These save purchasing separate energy meters for internal invoicing, which simplifies the installation task and saves cost as a result. Intelligent current transformer are, therefore, perfect in applications for battery charging systems, monitoring photovoltaic systems, UPS systems as well as processes with changing frequencies. The transformer parameters can be configured either by DIP switches or through Modbus RTU, using a free, user-friendly software utility.
