FUNCTIONAL DEVICES INC / RIB RIBXGTA Current Sensor Adjustable 0.75-150a

Functional Devices, Inc. RIBXGTA current sensor is ideal for monitoring and measuring electrical current, enabling precise control, fault detection and energy efficiency. This sensor is used in motor control, smart grids, battery management and ensuring safety in electrical circuits by detecting overcurrent conditions.

Working Mechanism:

• This Functional Devices RIBXGTA current sensor operates based on the principle of magnetic induction.
• When a current flows through the monitored conductor, it induces a magnetic field within the sensor.
• This magnetic field is detected and converted into a proportional electrical signal.
• The signal is then processed to determine the current level.
• The adjustable trip points and other features allow for precise customisation, enabling the sensor to trigger alarms or control other devices based on user-defined current thresholds.

Features:

• This sensor has a split core design, allowing easy installation and adaptability to different electrical systems.
• It offers surface relay mounting to facilitate convenient and accessible installation, ensuring ease of integration into electrical systems.
• This sensor includes a pin electrical connection that streamlines installation, providing a straightforward and secure connection.
• It comes with two pins / terminals, contributing to ease of installation and reliable functionality.
• This sensor features a single pole single throw normally opens (SPST-NO) contact form to ensure a reliable and straightforward circuit connection.
• It has a switch adjustment method, allowing for easy and quick adjustments to the sensor's settings.
