The DT series DC current sensor provides a low-cost method for measuring DC current in a small and easy to install housing.These sensors are designed using a three-way method for monitoring DC current, which uses a common point as the power source and output signal.The use of sensors designed in this way can control current monitoring costs and is an ideal choice for monitoring photovoltaic panel output, especially in large-scale projects such as solar "farms" that may require monitoring panels and dozens of light strings.

Other applications are also used to monitor DC loads, such as DC motors that move hot-rolled steel billets on conveyors.Measuring the current used by the conveyor drive motor can detect bearing faults, which may scratch or etch damaged steel, requiring remelting and re milling of the steel.The currently installed DC three wire sensor has avoided this expensive production loss, and the rolling mill operator is planning to add the sensor to other production lines.

The new DT series DC current transformer

The latest product of the DT series DC current sensor is a product with a very compact housing, and its DC voltage output is 0-5 or 0-10 volts.This new design uses a common point for power and output signals, and has been calibrated at the factory for a single current range.This three wire method for measuring DC current can be used to check costs in projects that require many sensors.

The DT series is a supplement to the existing DLT series 4-20 mA current output sensors.In areas where the designated controller is unable to read the current output sensor, the DT 3-wire product provides the same space saving feature without the need to add external voltage reducing resistors, thus eliminating another potential location for failure.

Reliability is key in all monitoring applications, as long as the number of connection points is reduced, reliability will improve.By adding a new sensor series, NK Technologies provides system designers with more options to measure DC current.
