Continental Control Systems Begins Shipping Accu-CT™ Revenue-Grade Current Transformers With New Options

Continental Control Systems announced that the company has begun shipping its Accu-CT™ high-accuracy, revenue-grade split-core current transformer (CT). With linearity better than 0.5% over the range of 1% to 120% of the rated current, the Accu-CT complies with the accuracy requirements of ANSI C57.13 class 1.2 and class 0.6 for tenant submetering and billing. This month Continental Control Systems is introducing two new options for the Accu-CT line of current transformers: the Opt 1V, which provides an output of 1 Vac output at full current rating, and the Opt C0.6, which provides accuracy compliant with ANSI 57.13 Class 0.6 at 60 Hz.

Spartan Peripheral Devices is creating a new wireless line of products which uses this revolutionary energy recuperating for self powered devices under the brand name ThermoPyla. The first element in the new product line is a thermodynamic wireless self powered globe control valve actuator ME8430 for the North American market with a 315 MHz receiver, and an ME8480 for the European market with an 868 MHz receiver. The complete thermodynamic unit consists of the energy harvesting module TGU (thermo generating unit) that was specially designed to transfer heat from the water source into the energy harvesting Pelletier element.

Honeywell's New Variable Frequency Drive Maximizes Energy Saviangs and Drives Down Total Installed Costs

Honeywell introduced VFD CORE, the next generation of variable frequency drives designed to maximize energy savings in commercial building. Commercial buildings are the largest consumer of electricity in the United States with much of the electricity being consumed by fans and pumps. VFDs, which control the speed of pumps and fans in commercial heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, can produce substantial energy savings. VFD CORE helps make installation and commissioning easy for contractors and reduces time on the job with its new features.

Seamlessly Convert a CT Signal to a Standard 4-20mA Output with New CTC Signal Converters from NK Technologies

NK Technologies introduces CTC Series Signal Converters. With the CTC series users can utilize an existing standard 5 amp secondary CT or low voltage (0.333 VAC) ProteCT™ current transformer with non-contact ranges as low as 0-5 amps over a conductor to produce a standard 4-20mA two-wire, loop-powered signal. With DIN rail mounting and a 24 VDC loop-powered supply, the CTC series provides simple snap-in installation that requires no calibration because the primary current transformer ratio provides the scaling required without any installer intervention.
