What are power transducers?

The power transducers are devices capable of transforming or converting a certain type of input energy into a different one at the output.

The transducer is used to obtain information from physical and chemical environments and to obtain electrical signals or impulses or vice versa. The transducers always consume some power so the measured signal is weakened. As part of the transducer is included the sensor and the actuator or electronics necessary to deliver the signal in a desired electronic format, such as voltage or any industry standard.

The power transducer is a device that is responsible for measuring electrical parameters (current, voltage, power, frequency, power factor, etc.) and converts it into an industry standard output signal which is directly proportional to the signal. input provided. The output signal can be connected to controllers, PLC, Analog and digital indicators, Recorders for analysis, display, or control.

How are current or power transducers used?

Current transducers are used to apply high inductive currents measured in Current Transducers. Current transducers for professionals for the inspection and control of regulation and control systems. The current transducers transform currents of 1 A or 5 A into, for example, 4 … 20 mA or 0 … 10 V. However, transducers are also used to transform process currents into another standard signal.

In addition to these two functions, the transducers are also used as isolated transducers, which means that the input and output signals are respectively 4 … 20 mA, and that they are galvanically separated. This is an advantage when other transducers do not have galvanically separated inputs and outputs. The current transducers are often used in conjunction with current converters in power technology.

The signal emitted by the transducers can be evaluated by a visualization system or a network analyzer. This provides great safety since high currents do not appear in process technology.
