The IPC series features a modular structure. Currents from 20 A up to several thousand amperes can be measured by matching the shunt value. For example, a continuous current measurement of 5 kA can be realised by using a 2 μOhm shunt. All IPC modules are galvanically isolated, highly dynamic, an extremely accurate measurement and with a resolution between 12 and 16 bit. An integrated modulation unit processes the current value signals under consideration of the calibrated parameters. The resulting digital signal is transmitted, potential-free, over various interfaces. It can be processed directly by motor controller via a digital input.
Further advantages of the current measurement modules are the low ohmic shunts that reduce power loss, low offset and drift as well as the extremely reduced noise level.
In addition to general industrial applications, the IPC series may be used in the following areas:
– AC / DC current measurement for drive technology
– Inverter / solar technology
– UPS systems
