AC Current Sensors, Switches

and Transducers Application Guide

Application Guide
AcuAMP current sensors are a great fit for many applications including material handling, fan and pump applications, and heating systems. With current

transducers, current switches and current indicators, this sensor family gives you valuable data for processes ranging from monitoring loads to preventive maintenance. Models with the ability to read True RMS non-sinusoidal waveforms make it

easy to monitor applications using variable frequency drives.
Use the application examples to help choose the best sensor model for your application.
