Description
DEIF VTR‑5‑NB Isolated True RMS Voltage Transducer, 0–500 VAC Input, 4–20 mA Output for Power Monitoring
Product Introduction
The DEIF VTR‑5‑NB is a compact DIN‑rail mounted true RMS voltage transducer developed for low‑voltage AC power system measurement. It converts 0–500 VAC primary voltage signal into standard isolated 4–20 mA analog output signal, accurately calculating RMS value even under distorted, non‑sinusoidal voltage waveforms commonly seen in variable‑frequency drive cabinets, generator output feeders and harmonic‑rich industrial power networks. Galvanic isolation between primary high‑voltage side and low‑current secondary side protects downstream PLC, DCS and SCADA analog input cards. As a widely used power measurement accessory, VTR‑5‑NB is frequently stocked as spare parts for power panels, MCC rooms and generator control retrofitting projects.
Specific Application Information
- AC line voltage measurement: Measure single‑phase or 3‑phase line‑to‑line AC voltage up to 500 VAC.
- VFD cabinet bus monitoring: Capture distorted voltage signals from frequency converter output side with true RMS algorithm.
- Generator terminal voltage tracking: Continuous generator output voltage monitoring for gen‑set control systems.
- MCC feeder voltage supervision: Collect voltage data of motor control centre outgoing feeders.
- Analog signal conversion: Convert high‑voltage AC measurement into standard 4‑20mA signal for PLC / DCS acquisition.
- Grid quality monitoring: Provide real‑time voltage value for power historian trend recording and over/under voltage alarming.
- UPS & emergency power system monitoring: Voltage sampling for backup uninterruptible power supply output.
