Description
CT-3000 Current Transducer with Advanced 0-FLUCS Fluxgate Technology
The CT-3000 Current Transducer is designed to provide highly accurate measurement of both DC and AC currents in advanced testing and industrial environments. Built on the proven 0-FLUCS fluxgate technology, the device operates with a closed loop sensing principle that delivers superior measurement accuracy and long term stability.
This advanced technology enables the CT-3000 Current Transducer to achieve extremely low noise performance, excellent linearity, and minimal temperature drift. These characteristics make the device ideal for applications where precise current measurement and long term reliability are essential.
With a maximum bipolar primary current rating of ±3000 A, the CT-3000 Current Transducer is capable of monitoring very high current levels while maintaining exceptional measurement precision. The transform ratio of 1:2000 converts large primary currents into a precise secondary signal that can be easily processed by monitoring systems, instrumentation, and feedback control circuits.
Current Transducer with Flexible Output Configurations
The CT-3000 Current Transducer is available in two different output configurations to accommodate a wide range of measurement systems. The standard CT-3000 version provides a precise secondary current output that is suitable for high accuracy instrumentation and power supply feedback systems. The CT-3000V version offers a buffered voltage output for simplified connection with data acquisition systems and monitoring equipment.
The voltage output configuration includes an integrated low temperature coefficient shunt resistor and a low noise amplifier inside the device. This design ensures stable voltage signals and reduces the need for additional signal conditioning components.
Galvanic isolation between the primary and secondary circuits enables safe current measurement even when the primary circuit operates at different electrical potentials. This isolation also simplifies integration when the CT-3000 Current Transducer is used as a feedback element in high precision regulated power supplies.
Industrial Testing and Power Electronics
The CT-3000 Current Transducer is widely used in applications that demand precise current monitoring and stable performance. Typical application areas include electric vehicle battery testing and characterization, calibration laboratories, industrial test stands, and precise AC mains monitoring systems.
The device is also suitable for extremely stable regulated power supplies and power inverter systems where accurate current feedback is required to maintain system efficiency and reliability. Compared with conventional Hall effect current sensors, the CT-3000 Current Transducer provides significantly improved performance in terms of accuracy, noise reduction, and long term stability.
For optimal performance, the CT-3000 Current Transducer can be used with the dedicated PS1124I power supply for current output versions or the PS1124V power supply for voltage output versions. These dedicated power supplies ensure stable operating conditions and help maintain the high precision performance of the device.
With its advanced sensing technology, robust construction, and flexible integration options, the CT-3000 Current Transducer provides a dependable and high performance solution for accurate current measurement in research laboratories, automotive testing facilities, and industrial power monitoring systems.
